The article presents news from the Soviet Union in the wake of the Soviet Union's disintegration. They said Tuesday that the line in front of Soviet leader V.I. Lenin's tomb was longer than it had ever been, country folk visiting Moscow, Russia, to catch a glimpse of the old fellow before they clear the mausoleum, pending conversion to a trade mart, Pizza Hut or some kindred symbol of the new dawn. According to another news, Russians, hauling down the statues and cleaning out the mausoleum, seem mustard keen on wiping out their history all over against as they have so many times in this century.
