The last of a dying breed.
“We sleep with vigor. Content with the knowledge that Lenin’s body shall never decay…”

Lenin was born 136 years ago today. To mark the anniversary, here is the life-size Lenin Cake created by artist Yuri Shabelnikov in the late nineties.
Roots of Breakdance (Run-D.M.C. - It’s Like That)
On Jan. 28, 10 students from the Ural Polytechnic Institute set off for some winter hiking. One member fell ill and was left behind to recuperate in a mountain settlement.
The other nine never made it out of the woods.
Their abandoned tent was found ripped open from the inside, half buried in snow, with the shoes and belongings of the students still inside. The first two bodies were found at the edge of the forest, barefoot and dressed in their underwear. The next three bodies were found nearby in similar condition. Two months later, the last of the bodies were found buried in the snow.
These four students had massive internal injuries, broken ribs and crushed skulls. One of them was missing her tongue. One thing that perplexed investigators was the fact that there was no sign of struggle and no external wounds.
