Lenin's Mausoleum, located in Red Square in Moscow, Russia, is the final resting place of the Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin. The structure, designed by architect Alexey Shchusev, was completed in 1930 and features a step-pyramid design made of red granite and black labradorite. Lenin's embalmed body has been on public display there since shortly after his death in 1924.
