A
Russian Orthodox church official has suggested
that a referendum should decide the fate of
Vladimir Lenin's body, news agencies reported. Metropolitan
Kirill said: "From the point of view of
Christians, Jews or Muslims, each dead person
should be buried." The question, he said,
deserved "political analysis, consultation
with the main political forces, possibly requiring
a referendum". Two
government officials said recently that Lenin
should be removed from Red Square, drawing
protests from Communists. Lenin himself said he
wanted to be buried next to his mother in St
Petersburg.
