      Fun Lenin fact: he actually got mummified because of the worldwide King Tut craze that was going on at the time as the result of the discovery of his tomb. Even Pravda ran frequent articles about it, and after Lenin died in 1924 the Soviets cashed in on it and mummified him - in a remarkable amateurish fashion, since nobody had been mummified in Russia for centuries prior.
