More information on Lenin's Mausoleum (Mavzolei V.I. Lenina)
Architect Alexei Shchusev (who built this imposing mausoleum on Red Square (Krasnaia Ploshchad') in 1930) modeled it on the ziggurat terraced temples of the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians. Inside, visitors file round the embalmed body of the leader of the Russian Revolution, Vladiamr I. Lenin. The material used for the exterior is mostly dark-red granite and grey and black labradorite. The colors are in perfect harmony with the red bricks of the Kremlin Wall that looms in the background. It measures 12 meters in height and 24 meters in length.
