formaldehyde and alcohol bind to hydrogen bonds and coagulate protein but they break down over time and its better to use chemicals that turn the body into nonreactive plastic or use strong chemicals like arsenic, zinc, silver, lead salts that will almost permanently leave a lifelike appearance like rosalie lombardo
the need to go ahead and plasticize him so that they wont have to keep making touch ups, or they should use zinc chloride, heavy metals or some salt bridge/disulfide binding denaturation compounds so that they will not have to keep periodically soaking his body
Is Lenin still on display in Russia? I know that they changed the name of Leningrad to St. Petersburg (correct me if I'm wrong), so I thought perhaps they finally buried him. Anyone know?
There can be no harm in respecting and keeping promises made by a loved one in thier final days here, as well as after they have passed. It is not morbid nor degrading to stand one up in a corner, or to place them on a favorite motorcycle for visitation either. It is simply proof and statement of fact that when you told them you loved them, it was heartfelt and real. Paying your respects to one who has died is "Civilized" beyond measure. It is morally and ethically the right thing to do.
Death is something very personal, not only for the one who passed, but also for those that that shared life and love and were loved in return. Death is for those who have unfinished business both good or bad. Death is final passage for all, lessons for those who remain living so that all may find resolute peace.To know the truth of love, you need only see that respect is shown and wishes honoured in life and after death. Although no longer here in body the soul remains in our memories eternal.
Wow still this BS cold war propaganda on how Lenin was a "Mass murderer"? Oh really?
I thougt this guy was a brilliant politician who led the revolution in Russia.
About the embalming: It may be interesting to see but I don't find it necessary, in fact you should spend the money for the people who are still alive.
i dont think this is available in my "civilised country".... spend your dollars or rubles on earth people... you cant take it with you...Oh yeah I saw Lenin... it kind of freaked me out... but then i drank a pivo at eat and talk! and all was good!
Once the body is dried up it's like being petrified, like a prune.
Of course you must give it a thorough embalming and set the features first, to have it look like you want and embalm the remains, arms, legs individually the 2 corotids for the head and asperate (drain) the chest and stomack and the fingers also with the 2 arteries there.the ulna and radial,and treat the brain also.
And with a trockar asperate and when the thoracic.let dry and don't touch.
This Lenin was definitely NOT John Lennon. The Russian Lenin was a cruel and heartless dictator who stopped at nothing with his power including torturous murder. I think he should be on display with panties, a bra, lacy garters and hose so he could be humiliated. If I were alone with his body, I would dress him up, take photos and sell them very cheap to tabloids. JOHN LENNON was a man out for peace, unity and non-violence. I would "hold his hand" and thank him for his care in this world.
@kissfox5 The proper way of disposing of this 140 year old vampire would be a stake through the heart, beheading and burning his corpse. Maybe even scattering the ashes at the local garbage dump.
Though i clearly don't understand how a british singer could be an object of comparison with a mass murderer just because their last names sound somewhat similar.
I love how all the Americans on here are all "this is not civilized" and so on they seem to not know there own history. Abraham lincoln was embalmed numerous times and put on show to the public up and down the US for weeks. To the point where his body was more like glass than flesh then after the attempted robbery of his body many years later where his body still looked just as it did the day he died. Then hidden from the public until they built and lay him to rest at his new grave memorial.
@kwoodside That is very interesting. Thank you for that. I have visited Lincoln's tomb in Springfield. Of course, now the sarcophagus is sealed and no one has seen him for years. Every so often the tomb is vandalized. A few years ago, someone spray-painted swastikas on the walls. And just a few weeks ago the sword held by a bronze statue of a soldier was stolen, probably for scrap.
Not only Lenin's body should be preserved, it should be taken care of. In the future, people might benefit from the preservation of his body. I know his brain is not there, and I know it's just a shell of the body, but preserving his body is important beyond the hundred years his body has been preserved. No matter what people think of him, he was one of the most important people of the last century.
His wife wanted him cremated; she felt this embalming and putting bodies on display was a leftover from the Orthodox church's use of relics as a tool for manipulating the poor and ignorant. Stalin wanted to give the masses a substitute for this.
They took out everything, put some kind of wool inside, this is just stuffed bag of skin - filled with material and soaked with chemicals. This is not immortality, it is like telling that stuffed animal is immortal...
I remember there was a serious debate within the last year to permenantly bury Lenin in a unmarked grave in a undisclosed location. On the subject of this video, it's very surreal seeing them preserve bodies like this. Wow...
@2prize The internal organs were all removed. The cavity has some sort of inert stufffing to maintain its shape. They have to redo this process every couple of years to maintain its state of preservation. It is very expensive. Rumours that the corpse is made of wax are not true. However it takes a lot of effort to maintain it in this condition.
@vladpros2000 He rests. He didn't believe in stupid superstitions. His brain is dead, gone, no more here. His corpse is preserved. I think if he can help us answer scientific questions he would be thrilled. He would be sad about the Soviet Union and other Dictatorships against his will, but if he can answer us anything at all, he'd be thrilled to keep on going the experiment to preserve his body. No to worship or anything like that, just to observe how it plays out. I think Lenin would like it.
@NovaJake360 No. He wanted a simple funeral and burial. This was Stalin's idea. The corpse had already started decomposing when they started this process. It was very expensive to do. I believe there is a private foundation that pays for it now.
A good arterial injection with a 30 index fluid and a good body cavity drain with a trocar with a strong cavity fluid will produce the same effect as the Lenin embalming. once the body dries up it will last for a long time especially if it's in a glass air tight container. A touch up of make-up every few years should do.
@loopencash I read a book on Lenin's corpse. They have to repeat this process every two years to maintain its condition. It is soaked in a solution they call "balsam" which is an elaborate chemical concoction. The display case is sealed and filled with argon gas. Nevertheless, if they stopped, the body would disintegrate.
"In any civilized country, this service is required:...."
What the F**k is that guy drinking? Do you really call Russia a civilized country anyway? If embalming a body for an eternal carnival show is their idea of civilized, than they're pretty F'd up!
@CarolineOskarsson If you'd close your pie-hole and do a little research, you'd learn that MANY countries have in the past, and currently still, use slave labor. Interestingly, what makes the US unique is it is the only country to have voluntarily abandoned the practice and make amends to those affected.
@cyprixx You do know that forensic research facilities and educational preservation labs use embalming quite a lot right? It's probably happening at a university near you that teaches any kind of forensic science.
That's pretty much what they do with you once you donate your body to science. I'm ok with that.
So very uncivilized! It's important to have a belief system that helps to convince our objective minds of the immortality of the soul--and that the body is meant to go back to the dust from which it is formed.
Never have understood why anyone wants to be preserve. One's legacy is more important that the actual body. Evita Peron made arrangements before she died that she wanted to to be preserved for future generations to stare at her. She died at 33-so young of cervical cancer
@sleedolfine15 But you aren't the leader of a country, are you? Never underestimate the power of fanatical people, even in small numbers. Or it could have been in his will, who the hell knows?
@xenbay Typical of Russia? Perhaps not. Note the many beautiful cemeteries in Russia, as well as the memorial chapels for the former Tsars and their families. Honestly, Lenin didn't deserve a proper burial, for all he did.
Just burn me and put me in the ocean that I love so much when I'm dead. I would never want my body to go through this for so long...and I certainly can't stand the idea of being put in a casket, in the ground, and rotting. But still it was a neat video!
in my opinion, this isn't civilized. wouldn't you want to rest in peace when you die? i wouldn't want my body to be dunked in chemicals, and then have people stare at it.
@iluvjaybee1 I think the kind of person who would want this badly enough to have their estate pay that kind of money is the type that wants people to stare at them!
@iluvjaybee1 if you do something great like the great lenin people will respect you and without permission will embalm you! thats how west or egypt for example will respect you and adore you !
@AngryPigFetus i consider lenin very great cos at that time russia was on the verge of going as a failed state if lenin and his bolshevik party hadn't won against the menshevik! that s what you get for doing something great for nation, lenin unifided russia! and stalin made it into a power, no doubt stalin killed a lot of ppl for no reason, which country would you be from? US?
@alokraja1 I understand where you are coming from. Lenin was a respectful leader and political thinker, as well with Ho Chi Minh, but I can't say much for the other past leaders/dictators that are embalmed and kept on display today.
And Yes, I am from the Us, not too proud to be anymore.
This kind of service is required in any civilized country?
I don't mean to be rude, but I just don't see how preserving a dead human body for public display is civilized. Not even if a body is preserved just for the closest family to look at. It's gross. At least when I die, I would prefer my body to be given back to nature. In my eyes, that is more "civilized".
@marklosextremus How exactly is my opinion uncivilized? How is it uncivilized to dislike that dead bodies are denied to decay and be reunited with nature? I am aware that we're all different; in some peoples eyes I guess this is respectful, while in my eyes it's notl. And the man in the end of the video clearly said that this service is requested in "every civilized country". Does that mean that every country that doesn't prectice this is uncivilized? That, if something, is narrow-minded.
Why bother? They're dead. My feeling? Give me the 300,000 pounds now and when my time comes put my corspe on the curb with the rest of the trash. What a waste.
@sleedolfine15 Why not. You're right. He's dead. It's not like they are doing anything to deface him or anything. It's a neat tourist attraction. Maybe this was what he wanted. Who knows.
@sbkrantz I don't care about Lenin himself..He was a horrible person whose soul(if he had one) deserve to be roasting over a slow flame..I just think the whole things is ghoulish.
The Choices of few,cannot be put up on an entire Country. What do you Know about Russia? his Writters? their music and Thecnology ? To embalm Lenin's was the decision of few members of the polibureau.. and you Call the whole country non-civilised? the only uneducated ,stupid, ignorant.idiot is you!

in Lenine's case, posterity and giving people something to idolized.
For common people, well maybe comfort in the idea that your body will survive your death.
It's more a comfort for the livings.
Also, Egyptians thought your body needed to be kept unspoiled so that your soul may journey in the afterlife.

@sleedolfine15 Why not. You're right. He's dead. It's not like they are doing anything to deface him or anything. It's a neat tourist attraction. Maybe this was what he wanted. Who knows.

@sbkrantz I don't care about Lenin himself..He was a horrible person whose soul(if he had one) deserve to be roasting over a slow flame..I just think the whole things is ghoulish.
