On 21 January 1924, at 18:50 EET, Vladimir Lenin, leader of the October Revolution and the first leader and founder of the Soviet Union, died in Gorki aged 53 after falling into a coma.{{sfnm|1a1=Fischer|1y=1964|1pp=673–674|2a1=Shub|2y=1966|2p=438|3a1=Rice|3y=1990|3p=194|4a1=Volkogonov|4y=1994|4p=435|5a1=Service|5y=2000|5pp=478–479|6a1=White|6y=2001|6p=176|7a1=Read|7y=2005|7p=269}} The official cause of death was recorded as an incurable disease of the blood vessels.{{sfnm|1a1=Volkogonov|1y=1994|1p=435|2a1=Lerner|2a2=Finkelstein|2a3=Witztum|2y=2004|2p=372}} Lenin was given a state funeral and then buried in a specially erected mausoleum on 27 January. A commission of the Central Committee of the RCP(b) was in charge of organizing the funeral.

Funeral service

On 23 January, the coffin with Lenin's body was transported by train from Gorki to Moscow and displayed at the Hall of Columns in the House of the Unions, and it stayed there for three days.{{sfnm|1a1=Fischer|1y=1964|1p=674|2a1=Shub|2y=1966|2p=439|3a1=Rice|3y=1990|3pp=7–8|4a1=Service|4y=2000|4p=479}}{{sfn|Rice|1990|p=9}} On 27 January, the body of Lenin was delivered to Red Square, accompanied by martial music. There assembled crowds listened to a series of speeches delivered by Mikhail Kalinin, Grigory Zinoviev and Joseph Stalin, but notably not Leon Trotsky, who had been convalescing in the Caucasus.{{sfn|Rice|1990|p=9}} Trotsky would later claim that Stalin had given him the wrong date for the funeral. Afterwards the body was placed into the vault of a temporary wooden mausoleum (soon to be replaced with present-day Lenin's Mausoleum), by the Kremlin Wall.{{sfnm|1a1=Shub|1y=1966|1p=439|2a1=Rice|2y=1990|2p=9|3a1=Service|3y=2000|3pp=479–480}} Despite the freezing temperatures, tens of thousands attended.{{sfn|Volkogonov|1994|p=440}}

The commander of the Moscow Garrison issued an order to place the guard of honour at the mausoleum. The people called it the "Number One Sentry". After the events of the 1993 Russian constitutional crisis, the guard of honour was disbanded.[1]

Against protestations of Nadezhda Krupskaya, Lenin's widow, Lenin's body was embalmed to preserve it for long-term public display in the Red Square mausoleum.{{sfnm|1a1=Fischer|1y=1964|1p=674|2a1=Shub|2y=1966|2p=438|3a1=Volkogonov|3y=1994|3pp=437–438|4a1=Service|4y=2000|4p=481}} During this process, Lenin's brain was removed; in 1925 an institute was established to dissect it, revealing that Lenin had suffered from severe sclerosis.{{sfnm|1a1=Fischer|1y=1964|1pp=625–626|2a1=Volkogonov|2y=1994|2p=446}}

Russian MP Vladimir Petrov suggested in 2018 that Lenin’s body be buried in 2024, the 100th anniversary of his death, because it was costing the state too much money to house the body in the mausoleum. The body would be replaced with a wax or rubber model of Lenin. [2]
