He had the holy family of Tsar Nicholas II brutally mudered / martyred, its time to bury him once and for all! A stinking waste of money and tasteless memory of the past. His burial would definitely send a message to the West who are forever sitting on their high horse of criticism of Russia as if Lenin and Stalin were still with us.

Keep him there! Lenin wanted to do everything in the best interests of the people when he led the Revolution, unfortunately it didn't quite come off. But anyway, why bow down to the West on such matters? Why can't Russia simply be proud of her history and move on, like it or lump it to the West. In my view anyway such attitudes are forever changing in the West, as the more biased historians etc are sounded out.. Keep Lenin there, for me its an important part of Russia and one we mustn't forget. Besides, its good for Tourism right?
