Preservative-treated Lenin's corpse and maintenance of the corpse



The founder of the Soviet Union, Lenin, was preserved after his death and is still famous for his body being placed in the Lenin's Mausoleum. You have to go through a metal detector many times to enter Lenin's Mausoleum, you are strictly prohibited from bringing a camera, and it seems that guards are standing around Lenin's body. I would like to introduce a photo that is being maintained so that the body will not be spoiled. Please be careful if you are not good at grotesque things.

the detail is right below.

Soak the body in liquid. This is a liquid that is impregnated with preservatives, and seems to be done once a year and a half.



The reason why there is a hole in my stomach is because all the organs have been removed. Is it because the liquid does not sew up to the inside?



Get out of the liquid. I'm doing this work with my bare hands, but is that okay ...?



Wrap with a cloth. You can see that the hair is properly bushed.



Get dressed. If you look closely, you can see the mustache and beard as they are. It seems to be a technician's skill to clean the body and make it look like the deceased is sleeping.

It seems that the technology called embalming that preserves Lenin's body was developed in the Soviet Union, and Mao Zedong, Kim Il Sung, Ho Chi Minh and others are also embalmed and preserved. In addition, since there were many funerals in Europe and the United States, it seems that the trend of embalming before the funeral is established to prevent the spread of infectious diseases from the bodies.
