Lenin,Still A Popular Guy

NPR's Anne Garrels reports on the re-emergence of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin as a popular figure in Russia. Soon after the Soviet Union collapsed there was talk about removing him from his mauseleum to be buried. Lenin's body is now back on display from its bienniel cleaning. And, the changing political climate in Russia means it will probably stay in its prominent place in Red Square.
