The model village founded by Lenin as the Soviet Union's first co-operative settlement is falling prey to Russia's conversion to free-market capitalism, which has sparked a property boom in the area.
If anyone is in the Red Square area, do pop into the old boy's tomb and let us know if his well-preserved corpse is spinning, would you? Youtube links would be appreciated.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
