[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 13 points 8 months ago (4 children) But Lenin has a fancy sarcophagus so he gets a free pass. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago It's ironic that you say "sarcophagus" because the only reason Lenin was mummified was that King Tut's tomb had been discovered just before his death. Pravda had covered the discovery extensively and the Bolsheviks decided to capitalize on Tut's popularity by preserving Lenin's corpse -- in hilariously amateurish fashion, since mummification was not something regularly done in Russia. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 7 points 8 months ago Also, Stalin was hot when he was young, so we can fix him. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago It's not that fancy though.
