Why is there only ten percent of Lenin's body left, which Russia racked its brains to preserve?

Lenin died on January 21, 1924, after Lenin died, people will save his body, in addition to Russia, other countries will also save the leader's body, most countries do a very good job, they put the leader's body is very intact, but Lenin's body is an exception! Russian scientists have gone to great lengths to preserve Lenin's remains, but only 10% of Lenin's remains are left today, why is that?

First of all, Lenin's health was very poor before he died. After the revolutionary uprising, Lenin's daily workload became very heavy, and he had to run all over the place, so his body began to suffer after a long time! Lenin also suffered a very big assassination in 1922, in which he almost lost his life! In this assassination, a bullet entered his body, and this bullet almost touched his cervical vertebrae, and the location of the bullet was very dangerous, so it could not be easily removed, and it hurt his body to put it in his body! Due to the very limited medical conditions at that time, the bullet was not taken out immediately after Lenin's injury, but remained in his body for the time being. Afterwards, a highly skilled German doctor helped Lenin to remove the bullet, but the bullet had already affected Lenin's body, and after the bullet was removed, Lenin also suffered after-effects!

A month after the bullet was removed, Lenin suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed. In order to recuperate from his injuries he began to work as little as possible and began to decentralize his power. About half a year after the stroke, Lenin's old wound returned, this time more seriously, and in March 1923 Lenin suffered another stroke and was paralyzed in bed after the stroke, never getting up again. Lenin's health never recovered from this stroke, and he died less than a year after it, at the age of 53!

Lenin's will mentioned the disposal of his body, he wanted his body to be placed with his mother, but because Lenin's status was very honorable, so after his death, people did not follow his will to arrange his body! The number of people who attended Lenin's memorial service was more than 90,000, and Lenin's body was just simply embalmed at first to allow others to view it, so the remains were not handled carefully. And in the open period of Lenin's tomb, there have been big accidents, such as a young man actually tried to destroy Lenin's remains, and Lenin threw an axe. There were even grenades thrown at Lenin's remains, which did not cause devastating damage to Lenin's remains, but did affect the integrity of Lenin's remains!

After that, experts began to embalm Lenin's remains, the first time in 1924, scientists intended to inject Lenin's remains with an antiseptic solution, the injection was unsuccessful, because before this, Lenin's aorta was removed by the doctors, and without an artery injection could not be made. Then, scientists have thought of other ways, but these methods are not good, the embalming work has more than a dozen procedures, and each program is carried out down to at least more than a month's time, not only the workload is large, and each link can not be a problem, and the most important thing is that the embalming is not a permanent antiseptic! So it means that in the future, at least every other year will need to redo the antiseptic, and every time to do a antiseptic at least cost a few million dollars. That's certainly a huge expense, not to mention that it's not a good idea to go on like this for a long time.

The reason why Lenin's remains are becoming scarcer and scarcer is because when the Soviet Union preserved the remains, they believed that all that needed to be preserved was the physical form of the body! So, when Lenin's eye lashes became problematic, they put false eyelashes on Lenin that looked exactly like the original lashes, and when Lenin's skin became problematic, they put false skin on Lenin. After a long time, many parts of Lenin's body were artificially created, and the fact that most of Lenin's remains had long since decayed, and most of what people saw were various chemical materials, in order to preserve the physical form of Lenin's remains, then they had to give up the original physical body! Today, Lenin's remains can still be left 10% has not been easy.
