Red Square in Moscow and the mausoleum have been consonant concepts for many decades. People are used to the fact that one practically does not exist without the other. But there are those who are interested in the question: why is the mausoleum still not removed from the main square of the state, and Lenin is not buried?

After all, a lot has changed over time. They even renamed a number of streets and cities, removed monuments to the leader in some places. An example is Leningrad. The city changed its name, but the mausoleum remained in its original place.

What is the reason for such inviolability of the mausoleum

First of all, it is an architectural and historical monument, which is evidence of a certain era. After all, the building itself is really unusual, beautiful and quite interesting. At the same time, it absolutely can not interfere with anyone here. And there is a positive aspect in it. Tourists come here, as in the old days, who want to see firsthand the legendary structure and the leader in it (or what remains of the leader's body, albeit in beautiful form).

The second point has a political connotation. For many people in the country, it is too important to have a mausoleum in it. If the latter is removed, rallies and unrest of the people may begin, and in the state at any time, unnecessary conflicts are absolutely useless.

These explanations also close the second question concerning the burial of the leader. A building without Lenin's body would become an almost useless structure.

Well, as for the funeral itself, to be honest, it is difficult to imagine this procedure so many years after the death of this famous person, who at one time changed the course of history. Where and how to bury him now is not entirely clear.

There is no harm from the mausoleum, but there is a benefit, so it was decided to leave everything as it is.
