The mummified remains of the Boy Pharaoh Tutankhamen, which had been found in 1922, at least partly influenced the decision to embalm Lenin's body.
To many Russians, especially Bolshevik/Communists, Lenin was revered. The idea that his body could be preserved for hundreds of years appealed to many but not all of his followers, even though Lenin himself wanted to be buried in Petrograd beside his mother's grave. The idea of embalming was criticized by many, including Leon Trotsky, who said it was akin to creating relics.
