Lenin's body has been on display in Red Square in Moscow since his death in 1924. His body lies in a glass display case inside a mausoleum built on Red Square, where Russian leaders would stand on platforms built on the mausoleum to view military parades. Today, Red Square remains a prominent location in Moscow where parades and celebrations continue to be held.
