being even if you don't like the policies or ideology he stood for lenin moved into the most the kremlin in the one nine hundred eighteen legend has it not he took both his wife and the cops crime and his and that's another french born revolutionary in the south ottomans with him. was a whole theory as i'm nash where we head towards the national front town the last two decades equal access to many many locations previously closed even unmarried and us soft and easy. is how is this current bank is it seems the russian capital is now open to the world well almost if you want an example of a consequence house in the last century this is perfect built in one hundred three by the famed russian architect from the advent of the national home towns been an inspiring story for more than a century before the revolution the hotel hosted foreign diplomats politicians

a complex game. wolf twenty thousand historical items have been moved including many is clogged with still shows the time when he left the group the last time. a perfectly items which relates a lens work represent the period for nine hundred eighteen thousand nine hundred twenty three and the personal belongings from the collection which are used by lenin in his everyday life older than that some of them were usually several generations of the union or family and date back to eighteen forty two bulbous you can see lenin lookalikes snotty tourists not got the chance to have friends across taken to the act as various men to train and celebration of and even saw nicholas the seconds until one hundred roubles that's around three dollars you can have a cheesy reminder of your time in moscow i do not recall lennon is especially popular among foreigners but i have to say they are more stingy when it comes to money but they understand lenin sells just like everything else in this world.

monuments to lenin are not only examples of study of art and the also one of the main symbols of the era says the dungeon tracey's thousands of monuments were erected in almost every city a small town of the u.s.s.r. in moscow alone there were dozens of sculptures of the possibly the erected in the city squares in front of administrative buildings and you can still see many of them to this day. one of moscow's most luxurious hotels elicit the sense it was once a stage eleven speeches the metropole hotel built in the beginning of the twenty cents. also became a base for the bullshit governments many leaders lived and worked in the metropol and is often visited by many when he addressed his associates in the one hundred twenty s. it started functioning as a hotel again for decades it's rooms are only available from russian and international celebrities politicians and now anyone can stay at the historic hotel but remember it does come at

a price that was in the form the hotel has been preserved in its original look despite all the wars and revolutions of the twentieth century here today is the same as it was nine hundred eighteen when the bolshevik government had its meetings here but it's different to smoked a lot so when restoration right was carried out in the nineteen inches it all despond out that the painted walls and stained glass were all but this mall damaged which they had to clean to restore their original decorations. then his life works in theories are still studied by hundreds of institutions around the world still is evaluate the ideology of communism naturists just toss his political influence and research is look at the bolshevik impact on the u.s.s.r. was america organized. actually around the country for almost six years and has his legacy is still visible in all parts of russia. was a vital figure for the twentieth century that's for sure. ten
