Holy Cow, you are smart! If you are interested, Helen Gurley Flynn, "The Rebel Girl" is also buried there.

She was honored with a state funeral in Red Square. Her body lay in state in the Hall of Columns of the Soviet Trade Unions.
In accordance with her wishes, Flynn's remains were flown to the U.S. for burial in Chicago's Waldheim Cemetery, near the grave of Eugene Dennis, Big Bill Haywood and the Haymarket martyrs.

After contradicting myself, I did some checking and came up with this.
Half of his ashes were ceremoniously buried in a wall of honor at the Kremlin, next to the remains of John Reed. The remainder were quietly returned to the United States and buried in Chicago, near a monument to American workers.
