“Motif” to the building project for the Mausoleum to V.I. Lenin.
Footnotes:
1) The star around the statue of V.I. should be made out of a tracery of electric bulbs.
2) Four of the rising towers on the colonnade at the corners of the Mausoleum’s courtyard can be built.
3) The Mausoleum should be decorated with statues of Marx and Engels.
4) The monument should be fabricated out of marble from the Urals, granite and reinforced concrete (without the need for wood).
5) The mausoleum’s upper floors should be devoted to a museum of the revolution, in which should be kept portraits of the primary revolutionary leaders.
6) It is worth destroying the cemetery on Red Square, and transferring all the graves of heroes of the Revolution into the courtyard of the Lenin Mausoleum.
7) The Mausoleum should be constructed in the middle of the Kremlin Wall.
