Vladimir Lenin proposed to bury with the use of blockchain

Communists are not very popular in today’s Russian Federation, and this year, on a centenary of the Russian Revolution, more debates arise about the body of Vladimir Lenin, still occupying the Red Square in Moscow in a grim mausoleum. While most Russians, according to polls, are for the proper burial (though some of them suggest to wait a bit more), remaining Communists, including the hawkish Gennady Zyuganov, are strictly against this.

Andrey Simonov, the head of TombCare funeral home in Russia, has, according to some local reports, sent Zyuganov a letter with a proposal to bury Vladimir Lenin with the verification of the new grave site on the blockchain, apparently, so that Communists would be sure nothing bad happened with the body along the way.

This letter, while clearly intended for getting more attention to the aforementioned company, indicates two serious things about Russians. First - the blockchain is already entering jokes, which tells that this country has understood its basics as a secure method of verification and supply chains management tool. And second, while not connected with the digital sphere, but still important — current Russians see no sacral nature in the Communist leader who is responsible for the big and bloody civil war that dramatically affected the history of this country.
