hello and welcome to the show in this week's program of exploring balanced life in moscow of australia to change the course of history and starting off the red square next to the magnificent moscow kremlin tony martin andreas as we take a look at his epic journey and visit various landmarks associated with his life and . is one of the main names associated with russia. eight hundred seventy s. let me in she now knows the choices to your name living in nineteen i want as one of the leading political figures and revolution we think is of the twentieth century a change the world. must somebody else to take over power in russia in nineteen seventeen the communist party and legitimacy class free equal life for an adopted form of marxism but what is the soviet leaders legacy today. or

did it look mean saints or. might say their mission those guys were really able to take a philosophy and turn it into a train to something that whole society could use and think it was well intentioned begin ejects these communities either on the left or when it is man was to idealize from his time and he's still idealist now i think is completely out of the truck to keep him in there and you know cheery him in the ground using the real suit. he turns everything upside down. there's nothing else to see. it was a limb in the father of the so you're. right and then changed. and there were friends here from the younger generation as you can see that the image of the bolshevik leader has turned into a retro almost like it's figure not helped by tacky seventy is pot shots and cheesy omes it seems now chief minutes are equally celebrated and mourned and the good and

bad he did in his life are both acknowledged gone are the days of thousands of people queuing up to see his m bomb for eight hundred slaps but regarding locations it's still the main association. for him. in this program we were real many other places that were close to the bullshit leader to which city was at the forefront of his life. was on the campuses most of the previous century live in how to make it a mistress of center of the country. because of german threats led a movable street party from separate is back off the ground as it was called then to moscow in march nine hundred eighty and red square eloquent what's become. in his life and will become his final resting place originally i wouldn't say i'm the stone cry that most of them which we see the highlights today was opened in nineteen thirty and still for public viewing recent rumors that suggested by his

body might be removed and buried elsewhere. even a staff happens and matter what your political background it is clear that lenin was an exceptional human being even if you don't like the policies or ideology he stood for lenin moved into the most recruitment in nineteen eighteen legend has it not he took both his wife. and his and that's another french born revolutionary innocent ottomans with him. i'm an ash well we head towards the national front now the last two decades of the access to many many locations previously closed in even a moon and us soft museums have. houses hotels bunkers it seems the russian capital is now open to all well almost if you want an example of a consequence house in the last century this is a fact built in launching a three by the flame version are the tax codes on the advent of the national home

towns in historic landmark for more than a century before the revolution the hotel hosted foreign diplomats. you'll see is this time she's leading the famous aftermath the city's international has proclaimed the first house of the soviets and became a residence of the bullshit governments accommodating talk obvious leaders our main points of interest is really one of seven the bright. sun is the location ralph and seeks but it sure has ceilings and the sense of history ladies in the room one hundred and seventy here in my opinion not only has one of the best years of the capital but it's also packed full of history accommodating the ball straight party this with inside the muscle hotel was famously home to lennon and his wife and two weeks in last night's ac in the hotel has been renovated since but still more a result icing remains this the grounds of the twentieth century the two of us.

you can gaze across to the crown and much of police cars pass. today this ring costs thousands of dollars a night i'm not quite sure lennon would be impressing top price i'd say rights for everyone needs a little moses did they tell us who to know is historically connected with lennon and the bullshit gilman's is still of interest for many and only those interested do not necessarily need to book a room you can apply for a special tour as the department of cultural heritage is most skilled surgeon exclusions are organized twice a year. moving on and what other most locations connects with that in his life. then it is often. help me is now an historical exhibit in d.c. how representing the atmosphere in which she lived and watched the several years it was you know how it was open to the public in one hundred fifty five became of the most visited museums in the country but as it was located in the kremlin same

building where the actual russian government of president was in the one nine hundred ninety s. it was decided to move the cabinet to the state and in such a complex a goalkeeper. fifty thousand historical items have been moved including and that means clogged but still shows the time when he left the room the last time. a perfectly items which relate to lennon's work represent the period for noisey to eighteen thousand nine hundred twenty three but the personal belongings from the collection which we used by lennon in his everyday life older than that some of them were years by several generations of the union of family and date back to eighteen forty two while visiting red square you often see lennon lookalikes snap happy tourists the chance to have taken to the role playing act as various men to train and it celebration up and even on the close second and for one hundred rubles that's around three dollars you can have a cheesy reminder of your time in a star. lennon is especially popular among foreigners but i have to say there are

more stranger going to comes to money but they understand lennon sells just like everything else on this world. monuments to lennon not only examples of study of art but they're also one of the main symbols of the era says the nineteen twenties thousands of more humans were erected in almost every city in small town of the u.s.s.r. in the school no no it doesn't have sculptures of the falsely directed in the city squares in front of the mistreated buildings and you can still see many of them to this day. one of moscow's most lives joys hotels in a city sense that was once a stage for many speeches and metropol hotel built in the beginning of the twentieth century. also became a base for the bolshevik government many leaders lived and worked in the metropol and it was often this issue by many when he addressed his associates in the one hundred twenty s. based on the functioning as a hotel again for decades it trains were only available for russian and

international celebrities politicians now anyone can stay at the historic hotel but remember it does come at a price up with the feel of. the hotel has been preserved in its original look despite all the wars and revolutions of the twentieth century these who are here today is the same as it was a nine hundred eighteen when the bullshit government had its meetings here but it's deputies smoked a lot so when restoration right was carried out in the nineteen ages the altars found out that the painted walls and state laws were already small damaged which they had to clean to restore their original decorations. then his life works and theories are still studied by hundreds of institutions around the world school is evaluate the ideology of communism and. his political influence and researches look at the big impact on the u.s.s.r. or the macro organized. actually around the country for almost six years as his
