Lenin's Embalmers

NPR's Science Friday interviews playwright Vern Thiessen, out with a new play in New York about two Soviet scientists ordered by Stalin to preserve Lenin's body for eternity.

Interesting tidbit: Lenin had already been dead for 2 weeks before they started work. 87 years later he's still there! (Or at least parts of him).
