Forever Lénine
In Moscow, on the Red Square, film-maker Xavier Villetard opens the doors to the mausoleum of Lenin, which is unusual, since it normally stays closed. From 1924 until the fall of the USSR in 1991, the embalmed body of the hero of the October Revolution was publicly displayed as a holy relic. By using voice-over narration, the filmmaker directly addresses Lenin. Despite this freedom of expression, the archival images and comments of historians tell a different story: more than 24 years of Soviet history.
