Putin: Lenin to Blame for Soviet Union Collapse
STAVROPOL (Russia) (Sputnik) — The Russian authorities should solve the issue of burying the body of Russian communist leader Vladimir Lenin carefully, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday.

Since Lenin’s death in 1924, his body has been permanently exhibited in a mausoleum in the center of Moscow. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the question of removing Lenin's body from the mausoleum and burying it in a cemetery has been widely discussed.

"As for reburials and other issues of a similar nature, you know, I think that we should deal with it very cautiously," Putin said answering a question on the future of possible reburial of former communist leader's remains.
