Today we went to go see Lenin's Mausoleum. It was a long line, and we were rushed through, but it was free. Lenin looked totally fake, and he seemed very short. There was a rally by the Communist Party outside. The police thought it was funny. It was just a bunch of old people. After that, we went to the State Polytechnical Museum. It was ok. Tomorrow I might go to Kuskovo, another Russian Estate with one of my friends, but we'll see. The statue in the picture to the left is Markil Zukov, a famous Russian General if I remember correctly. This, along with Lenin, is near red square.
