Exploring Lenin's Mausoleum in Moscow! | Red Square Tour

This week, we’re taking a time machine back to 1924 to check out Lenin's Mausoleum right in the heart of Moscow. This isn’t just any old tomb; it’s the resting place of Vladimir Lenin himself, along with a lineup of other big Soviet names like Yuri Gagarin and General Zhukov. We’re going to dive into some deep history here. Lenin's Mausoleum isn’t just about seeing his preserved body; it’s about the echoes of the past that shaped the Soviet Union. Despite Lenin’s own wishes against a personality cult, his image became a Soviet icon. I’ll walk you through the heavy security, kind of like what you’d see at an airport, and share some stories about Lenin's crucial role in turning Russia into a communist state with the October Revolution.
➡️ We'll also explore the Kremlin Wall Necropolis, where other Soviet leaders are honored. The route's changed a bit over the years—now, you start at the graves and work your way to Lenin—but the place is still packed with history. While we can’t film inside the Mausoleum, there’s plenty to take in from the outside. So, join me as we uncover the history and significance of this spot and reflect on the irony of Lenin's legacy.

Stick around for more adventures in Moscow, where we’re always digging into the past and present of this vibrant city!
