And then there was the case of Stalin. Quote: After his death in 1953, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin's remains were embalmed and put on display next to Vladimir Lenin. Hundreds of thousands of people came to see the Generalissimo in the mausoleum. Yet eight years later, the Soviet government ordered Stalin's remains removed from the tomb. http://history1900s.about.com/od/worldleaders/a/stalinembalm.htm A less known case is Angola's Agostino Neto. http://www.wolverton-mountain.com/articles/vanity.htm Nov 20 07, 5:24 PM

This means that the total number of embalmed statesmen on public view is probably 5: Lenin, Mao, Kim Il Sung, Ho Chi Minh and Agostino Neto. A quote: Stalin was so taken by their success, he ordered that he too be embalmed just like Lenin. So artful were the Soviet embalmers that other communist heads got the embalming craze under their skin (or actually in their veins to be more precise). North Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh, North Korean’s Kim Il Sung, and Angola’s Agostino Neto all employed the Soviet technique and still can be viewed and admired for their contributions to the world. However, the embalming technique and recipe is still held as secretly as is the recipe for Coke. http://www.wolverton-mountain.com/articles/vanity.htm Nov 20 07, 5:31 PM

Another interesting case is the Bulgarian Communist leader Georgi Dimitrov. Quote: Dimitrov died in 1949 in the Barvikha sanatorium near Moscow. The rising speculations that he had been irradiated (or poisoned in some other way) have never been confirmed, although his health seemed to degenerate quite abruptly. His body was embalmed and placed on display in the Sofia Georgi Dimitrov Mausoleum. After the fall of Communism in Bulgaria, his body was buried in 1990 in the Central cemetery of Sofia. His mausoleum was torn down in 1999. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgi_Dimitrov Nov 20 07, 7:46 PM
