For some very disturbing viewing: check out Charonboat's online photo show of Lenin's preserved corpse being given its yearly bath in the Moscow Mausoleum which has publicly housed it since 1924. Apparently, the formula for the bath is a mixture of formaldehyde, methanol and ethanol. Note: Not pretty.
Thanks, Kriszta, for alerting me to this.

yes! i did not watch the video, but the photos are pretty strange. love your site! i referenced this lovely post on my new site (http://www.umich.edu/~atkolkma/kunstkammer.htm)
under a photo of lenin's deathmask in case anyone was wondering how he was lookin these days!
He looks considerably better than he did before his demise; by the end he was looking like a cross between Bill the Cat and Poopdeck Pappy.
