RUSSIAN COMMUNISTS MARK ANNIVERSARY OF LENIN’S BIRTH.

Russian Communist Party (RCP) leader Gennady Zyuganov dodged a group of youths who tried to pelt him with tomatoes and laid a wreath at Lenin’s Mausoleum in Moscow’s Red Square yesterday. Zyuganov reiterated his opposition to the idea of removing Lenin’s embalmed body from the mausoleum and burying it. (NTV, April 22) At its congress last weekend, the RCP made Lenin an honorary member of the party.
