Also in Russia it has been suggested laying a mausoleum right next to Lenin.

Michael Jackson could receive a permanent address in Russia should a very special mausoleum for him be created in Red Square next to Vladimir Lenin’s.

A Russian fan of the King of Pop, showbiz producer Aleksandr Valov, has suggested erecting the most expensive shrine in the world, made from glass and precious stones, in honor of Jackson.
