Yule Chiuk said that for the protection of Lenin’s body, Russian scientists have used a method of focusing on the maintenance of the physical form of the body, such as appearance, shape, weight, colour, body flexibility and toughness, and not necessarily in retaining the original biological material.

April 22nd, 2015, marked the 145th anniversary of Vladimir Lenin’s birthday.  Lenin was the leader of the Bolsheviks and the Founder of the Soviet Union.  This important event led to the opening of the Lenin Mausoleum, situated in the heart of Moscow’s Red Square.  The ‘Lenin Group’ of over 200 Russian scientists have been tasked with the regular and routine maintenance of the body (which takes place every two years), and to ensure that Lenin’s image remains preserved and in a good state potentially forever.

尤尔恰克称，对于列宁遗体的保护，俄科学家采用的方法重在维持遗体的物理形态，比如外观、形状、重量、颜色、肢体弹性和韧性，而不一定保留原有的生物物质。

当地时间2015年4月22日，前苏联领导人列宁诞辰145周年当天，位于莫斯科红场中央的列宁陵墓再次向公众开放。为保护遗体的完整长存，一个由200余名科学家组成，名为“列宁墓小组”的科研组织刚刚完成对列宁遗体两年一次的例行维护和修复工作。
