Russian Utopia: a depository

Lenin Mausoleum (motto: Lenin is the Leader of the World Proletariat)
Ostapchuk F. Lenin Mausoleum (motto: Lenin is the Leader of the World Proletariat) 1925

RACDMH

The main thinking behind the project is that the monument’s architectural composition should remind every passerby of the fact that in it are housed the ashes of the great leader Lenin.
As the base of the monument I have taken a 5-pointed star, signifying the whole earth, and the star’s points should contain premises and the sides should house all the historical documents linked with V.I’s actions. On top of the points should be a separate forked staircase with an entrance and exit to V.I’s tomb. On the star’s pentagon the word “Lenin” will be architecturally constructed, which should remind us that it is here that his ashes are safeguarded.
