The State Duma will discuss the reburial of the body of Lenin

Today, on April 20, two days before the 147th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Lenin, a bill on the burial of his body was submitted to the State Duma, which has been in the Mausoleum on Red Square in Moscow for 93 years.

This was reported by Interfax with reference to one of the initiators of the draft law of the project Vladimir Sysoev (LDPR).

“Our bill contains the legal mechanism of reburial of the remains of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. The procedure and terms, as well as the burial place should be established by the government, taking into account the decision of the interdepartmental commission. - said Sysoev. “We offer appropriate amendments to the current law on burial and funeral business.”

According to the deputy, the data of a recent Levada Center survey , according to the deputy, was the direct reason for the faction and representatives from the parliamentary majority, according to which Lenin’s body needs to be buried, 58% of Russians, and over the past 5 years, the share of supporters of the reburial of Lenin has grown by 5%.

This idea is supported by the Russian Orthodox Church. In March, on the air of the Rain TV channel that “Lenin’s body must be taken out” from the Mausoleum was declared by the head of the Synodal Department for the relationship of the Church with society and the media Vladimir Legoyda

In April, speaking on the Russia-24 channel, the head of the Synodal Department of External Church Relations, Metropolitan Hilarion, said: “The names of the executioners cannot be called streets and squares. The names of terrorists and revolutionaries should not perpetuate in our cities. Monuments to these people should not stand in our squares. The mummified bodies of these people should not lie and put on public display. ”
