Carrying red flags and bearing portraits of the founder of the Soviet Union, they queued under the walls of the Kremlin to lay flowers at the entrance of the Mausoleum where Lenin’s embalmed body lies.

Zyuganov this week once again protested suggestions that Lenin’s body should be removed from its mausoleum on Red Square and buried in a cemetery.
