No events to be held in Lenin`s Mausoleum on June 22
MOSCOW. June 17 (Interfax) - Neither the Kremlin commandant's office nor the Federal Bodyguard Service (FSO) has
received any applications for staging events inside Lenin's Mausoleum on June 22, a source in the FSO told Interfax
on Wednesday.
"The Mausoleum is a building where special security regulations are in force, so holding events in it or on Red
Square is not possible without proper permission," he said.
"Because there have been no applications for holding or covering events in the Mausoleum, no events can be held
there," the source said.
The Liberal Democratic Party group in the State Duma had announced its intention to meet in the Mausoleum's
mourning hall at 4:00 a.m. on June 22.
