Ian Wright episode where they showed Lenin's corpse

I regret seeing last night's episode on Russia with Ian Wright because they showed Lenin's corpse on display, which looked like a wax dummy. Which was pretty disturbing. Still having nightmares over it. Anybody else see this episode?

Yes, I remember the episode. I have also seen Lenin on display in Red Square, he even looks more "waxy" in person.

Agree. Many years ago I stood in the long line to file past him. He did look more like a wax dummy, although what I remember most are the black fingernails. I didn't have the sense that I was looking at a corpse except for the fingernails.
