The Lenin Mausoleum

The outrageous campaign under way to demolish the Mausoleum on the Red Square in Moscow, and rebury the body of V.I. Lenin in another place, has the sole purpose of avoiding people from the ex- republics of the Soviet Union and the world from paying due homage to the Great Man - Lenin, the leader of the Great October Socialist Revolution of 1917, a Revolution that has changed the world.

If there had not existed the USSR, many countries would still be colonies of Great Britain, France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and others. Nazi Germany would have triumphed in Second World War and our planet would be living under the bestial rule of Fascism. Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea and others would not have had sufficient resources to resist US imperialism. Israel would have already conquered the Middle East, relying on its atomic arsenal and with the support of US imperialism.

V.I. Lenin dedicated all of his life towards changing the living conditions of the working class and the people as a whole, by freeing them from the bondage of capitalist system. He tried to create a New Man – the Soviet Man! That is the very reason that Imperialism led by the US Military-Industrial complex tries, fiercely, to erase all traces of Lenin’s legacy and the Soviet period – counting for this on the full support coming daily from the present Russian oligarchy-robbers of all the Soviet values, through a despiteful mass media campaign.

Lenin deserves the Mausoleum on the Red Square and much more, such as respect, love and dedication, while his dirty detractors deserve the people’s repulse!

We urge all people, progressive institutions, trade unions, true communist and socialist parties from the whole world, send messages of protest to President Putin of Russia and the Russian Duma. In the meantime, a worldwide campaign must immediately be organized through all the available media, through meetings, rallies, in order to show them that the people will not accept such a villainy lying down!

Sooner than they can imagine, all these traitors will be judged and properly punished for all of their crimes against the country and the people.

Lenin lives and will live forever in the hearts and minds of the people.
