The Soviet manned lunar program was the logical next step in space exploration following the success of Sputnik 1 (1957) and Vostok 1 (1961). While the American Space Program languished under President George Romney, NASA having been subject to savage cuts in order to fund Romney's landmark public housing program, Khrushchevist Moscow remained engaged in their cosmic endeavors. Soviet unmanned moonshots resulted in data gathering breakthroughs, including the first images of far side of Moon (1959) and the first lunar sample returned to earth (1969). The manned lunar program, envisioned initially by Khrushchev, saw a successful launch in 1984 under the auspices of General Secretary Furtseva. Broadcast on live TV to a worldwide audience, Yuri Gagarin and Valentina Tereshkova stepped onto the lunar surface and effectively ended the First Space Race in decisive victory for the Soviet Union.
The lunar landing was viewed by the Furtseva Kremlin as a precursor to a lunar base and a manned mission to Mars, something that was enthusiastically supported by Premier Gagarin for obvious reasons. Gargarin, who had been elevated to Chairman of the Supreme Soviet after the death of Alexei Kosygin in what was originally envisioned to be a ceremonial role for the cosmonaut, turned his political celebrity into true influence within the top echelons of power. Having been a member of every Politburo since the waning days of Khrushchev, Gargarin had become a prominent member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Holding various political offices, Gargarin remained politically active throughout his involvement in the space program and constantly had an eye for his hero status among the proletariat.
After the sudden death (or was it suicide?) of General Secretary Yekaterina Furtseva, Chairman Gargarin mobilized hitherto unseen support among the younger cadres to the secure leadership of the CPSU. At aged fifty, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin became the youngest leader in the history of the Soviet Union. Gagarin's political allies, Valentina Tereshkova and Alexey Leonov, were also granted leadership positions within the new Kremlin. Though, of course, Tereshkova would come to possess far more influence than the rather politically colorless Leonov in the coming years. In any case, the rise of General Secretary Gargarin was greeted with shock in the West and directed a few furtive glaces to the 1984 presidential aspirations of American Astronaut John Glenn. The Gargarin Period would see the initiation of a Second Space Race, the rise of CosmoCommunism, and, of course, the Great Eastern Emergency...
It's going to be really awkward every time Paul Ryan visits the White House. Both the president and vice president will mention they have grandchildren around his age and Ryan will have to constantly fight the urge to start measuring the drapes in the Oval Office.

Part 8 of ?
Lenin's Mausoleum (Russian: Мавзоле́й Ле́нина, tr. Mavzoléy Lénina; IPA: [məvzɐˈlʲej ˈlʲenʲɪnə]), also known as Lenin's Tomb, situated in Old Havana next to the Cuban Capitolio Nacional, is a mausoleum that currently serves as the resting place of Vladimir Lenin. His preserved body has been on public display there since its recovery and re-embalmment in 1983, with rare exceptions in the [Subject to Change: 1994 Havana Riots]. Aleksey Shchusev's original diminutive but monumental granite structure incorporates some elements from ancient mausoleums, such as the Step Pyramid, the Tomb of Cyrus the Great and, to some degree, Temple of the Inscriptions. The redesign in 1983 kept the exterior identical, but the interior was expanded with a large underground museum commemorating the rise and fall of Communism worldwide.
History [Edit Source]
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Joseph Stalin's embalmed body shared a spot next to Lenin's, from the time of his death in 1953 until October 31, 1961, when Stalin was removed as part of de-Stalinization and Khrushchev's Thaw, and buried in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis outside the walls of the Kremlin. Stalin's body was once again placed in Lenin's tomb following Kaganovich’s coup in 1972, then removed following the Russian Revolution of 1977. Lenin's body was severely damaged in the May 8th Incident ,when it was paraded by protestors around Red Square, and later went missing following the violent collapse of the Soviet Union, while Stalin's body was burnt following the rebel capture of Moscow.
Lenin's body resurfaced in Astana, but was seemingly destroyed along with the helicopter carrying it as it was transported toward Tehran.
The second time Lenin's body was found was in Xinjiang, where it was recovered by the East Turkestani Government from local Hui warlord Ma Hongren, then transported to Chengdu for re-embalment and delivered to Havana where Lenin was reburied in the International Lenin Mausoleum.
Present State [Edit Source]

Lenin's Mausoleum is one of the main attractions of Havana, and is visited by thousands daily [citation needed]. It has however been subject to numerous terror attacks since it's opening, and is thus heavily guarded by the St. Petersburg Self Defence Force’s Honour Guard, the commander of which is a ceremonial position held by the Chancellor of St. Petersburg. This position is presently held by Chancellor Vladimir Putin.

Following his death on Janurary 21st, 1924, Soviet Architect Aleksey Shchusev built a wooden tomb in Red Square by the Kremlin wall on January 27, and later that day Lenin's coffin was placed in it. More than 100,000 people visited the tomb in the next six weeks. By August 1924, Shchusev replaced the tomb with a larger one, and Lenin's body transferred to a sarcophagus designed by architect Konstantin Melnikov.
In 1973 sculptor Nikolai Tomsky designed a new sarcophagus.
On January 26, 1924, the Head of the Moscow Garrison issued an order to place the Guard of Honour at the mausoleum. Russians call it the "Number One Sentry".
The body was removed in October 1941 and evacuated to Tyumen, in Siberia, when it appeared that Moscow might be in danger of capture by German troops. After the war, it was returned and the tomb reopened.

What is this, a presidential election or a tram society?
I don't see Clegg delivering a Hallam Handshake, but good work otherwise. Though why don't the DUP get a seat or two in Liverpool?

Minnesota Gubernatorial Election, 2014
The Minnesota Gubernatorial Election was one of the closest in the history of the United States. Unpopular Governor Tom Emmer decided to retire after one term in office. Former Representative Michele Bachmann won the Republican primary. Activist Leslie Davis narrowly won the DFL primary in an upset. The Legal Marijuana Now Party nominated former Governor Jesse Ventura and activist Dan Vacek. The Independence Party and the Libertarians endorsed Ventura. Ventura's campaign gathered a huge amount of publicity, and with the unpopularity of the two nominees, a lot of money as well. With Davis' campaign out of money and a distant second in the polls, he dropped out and the DFL endorsed Ventura. The race continued to tighten, with the last poll being a perfect tie; the state not knowing whether to vote in a failed governor running on a "wacko" third party platform, or a ridiculously conservative former Representative who was an anti-vaxxer.
The results were insanely close. After nearly a year of counting, the winner was sworn in, after winning a 10th recount by a margin of 2 votes.
