A Controversial Change: Boris Yeltsin Moves into the Mausoleum.

Lenin's mummy needs some work done, so they are fixing it up. Since they need the space, they are putting Boris Yeltsin's body in the mausoleum for a bit.

The leaders know people might think this is weird, but they say there is no other option. Lenin's body needs special care and there is only one place for it.

Smart people who know about preserving bodies and politics talked about it for a long time. They decided that even though Yeltsin wasn't perfect, he was a good leader after Lenin and did good things for Russia.

To get Yeltsin ready, they did some special things to his body so it can stay nice in the mausoleum. They used the newest Russian technology to make him look good.

The main body doctor said they used really small robots and freezing to make Yeltsin look young again. He said Yeltsin will look like he just quit his job yesterday!
