MOSCOW. Oct 25 (Interfax) - The body of Vladimir Lenin and the remains of the Soviet Communist Party leaders must be removed from the Kremlin wall and reburied, but exactly when this should be done must be discussed separately, Russian human rights commissioner Vladimir Lukin has said.

"It is not a matter of 'Yes' or 'No'. No queries should arise here. Concerning 'When' - that is a more difficult question for me. I would not like old people - even if we think they were wrong - to be hurt so seriously at the end of their lives," Lukin said at a news conference at Interfax on Thursday.

"Therefore, the question 'When' is more difficult and more subtle, and must be handled taking many problems into account, including this one," Lukin said.
