The trial over the ownership of the Lenin Museum was scheduled to be held in Chingeltei District Court at 2:00 pm Thursday but was postponed until May 31th.

The trial was postponed because the Chief of the Secretariat of the Mongolian People`s Party (MPP) representing the defendant, Sh.Radnaased, failed to arrive at the trial due to duties regarding the election campaign.

This is the third time the trial over the controversial debate of the Lenin Museum ownership has been postponed. The Government made the decision to turn the old museum dedicated to Russian communist revolutionist Lenin into a dinosaur museum. The museum was built between 1974-1980 on the order of the Minister of Culture using state budget finance.

But MPP, the former ruling party, claims it holds the ownership of the museum.
