As much as some of us would love to see the corpse cremated or disposed of in some obsurd way I think it would probably be best that they bury him with the other former leaders, wise and unwise ones alike. To do otherwise would be lowering themselves to his level of disrespect for the dead. To bury the corpse does not have to be a way of showing respect for the man but a respect for live and death in general. I do believe he should be buried and the former monument turned into a simple declaration of what once stood there and what the man did with his life. It was a crucial formative part of what Russia is today and affected the rest of the world for decades so to wipe it clean and remove it completely would be allowing other's to forget. To forget our history means we will be doomed to repeat it someday.
