Forever Lénine, secret story of a mummy.
It was Stalin’s idea to make Lenin immortal. The mummification of the Bolshevik leader was the ideology’s first act of theatrical deception. By doing so it was giving itself a living God. The adventures of Lenin’s mummy are a reflection of the history of the Soviet Union. Mixing the tangible and visible with the dark secrets brought to the surface by the disintegration of the USSR, Forever Lénine is an autopsy of the body of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
