Talk:Lenin's Mausoleum

message: Is there really still a hour-long line to visit Mausoleum? Could anybody who was there recently confirm?
I saw it in 2003 and there was a long queue then, mabye not quite an hour but not far off.  1 hour could well be an accurate average figure, anyone have any accurate figure's?  A quick google didn't come up with anything. Ed 20:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also visited in 2003 but did not have to queue at all. That was in winter, so maybe it would be better to say that queues can be long in tourist season? Breakfast1 13:45, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

http://www.vilenin.info/ have voting about carrying out of a body of Lenin from the Mausoleum, except for that a site contains more than 586 comments of high quality with various estimations about Lenin's activity and the Mausoleum.

message: Just a question: When was that central tribune added atop?  Early pictures show the leaders reviewing at the left side.  Some sources say it was added in 1945.  Others say 1941. Darth Sidious 22:18, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Guard of Honour 

message: When I was in Moscow in 1994, there was no long lineup and photography was allowed, and you could keep your hands in your pockets if you wanted.  This is different from 1991, when a guard yelled at me to keep my hands out of my pockets as I was trying to put a glove in there.  (In Russian culture, holding your hands in your pockets is considered highly disrespectful.)
Did the situation with photography change?  If not, a correct is in order. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.100.104.29 (talk) 21:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just visited Lenin's mausoleum in March 2007.  No photography was allowed. I already knew better than to have my hands in my pockets, but the guy in front of me in line was made to remove his hands from his pockets by a guard. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.180.251.176 (talk) 21:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

text: It isn't disrespectful, it seems to me they just want to see if there is something in your hands (or your pockets) --V-VA 14:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, according to Russian etiquette, it is disrespectful. But it is not particular to funerals. It's also considered disrespectful to fold your arms across your chest when talking to someone, for the same reason. The gestures imply impatience. --76.217.82.113 (talk) 23:31, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know if guards really want you to respect Lenin or not. And where did you find such information? Being a Russian even young enough I often do so, so anyone could rebuke me for it but nobody did. We are breaking with the traditions. I remember what my grandma said: if a child spoke during a meal, father stroke them with a spoon on the forehead. Makes me mad.--V-VA (talk) 10:09, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm Russian and can tell you for sure that there is absolutely no such rule of ethiquette in modern Russia as not to hold one's hands in pockets, may be only if you really want to look proper and modest, as in a church. The guards simply afraid of that you can hold a bomb or a hammer in your pocket (there was such an accident in Soviet times) and may try to break the glass coffin of Lenin or do something else. Also, though it's debated, Lenin's body is considered a kind of unique cultural heritage, that's why it's guarded so much. As to the photography and video I don't know why it's disallowed, probably they afraid that you can throw your camera into Lenin or there's a machine gun hidden in it (kidding). Also the place is still somewhat sacred for the USSR men of power's posterity, who are still ruling the country, that's why Lenin is still in the tomb to scare foreign visitors. 80.255.155.17 (talk) 14:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The Wikipedia article mentions: "Lenin's sarcophagus is kept at a temperature of 61 degrees and kept at a humidity of 80 - 90 percent." Would this be 61 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit? [ 212.246.213.162 (talk) 18:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: If it were kept at 61 Celsius, that would be 142 Fahrenheit -- probably a bit too warm for anybody's body.  Sca (talk) 15:25, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

message: No photos or video are allowed, as well as no talking and no smoking in the tomb. There are no tickets to the tomb and the entrance is absolutely free of charge.
Do they allow special permits to allow documentaries to film the body? An episode of Life After People featured what I assume was video footage inside the tomb. Morhange (talk) 03:27, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't thearticle name rather be "The Lenin Mausoleum" or "Lenin Mausoleum" - as a name rather than a description. I doubt if the genitive form is necessary here, as it's a quite famous (infamous perhaps, but still) building. For many reasons. This suggestion shouldn't be interpreted in any direction, and is especially not about Lenin himself. Boeing720 (talk) 11:43, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wouldn't  "(The) Lenin Mausoleum" be a better title ? (no genitive) 

message: The first sentence of the Lenin's Mausoleum today section reads, "The Mausoleum is open to the public on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00–13:00, except holidays per the Moscow Marriott Grand concierge as of August 11, 2015."
