Moscow, Russia "Hundreds of thousands, defying terrific cold, form continuous procession to Red Square to pay final homage to Nicolai Lenin, founder and leader of the Soviet Republic."

Snow covers the ground and every one is well wrapped up as they come to say their farewells to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Shots of snow blowing in front of St. Basil's Cathedral.

More shots of people walking past the coffin t the base of the Kremlin. Closer shots of people with their banners.
