Lenin’s Embalmers

After Vladimir Lenin's death; Stalin orders two Jewish scientists to preserve Lenin's body for all time. If they succeed; the rewards will be considerable. If not; it's the gulag – or worse. Based on real events; Vern Thiessen's nimble dark comedy exposes the absurdities of Soviet life under Stalin.
