The article discusses the role of vermin in the vanitas discourse in the Polish poetry from the late 16th until the 18th centuries. The introduction, using the example of Żale nagrobne by Sebastian Fabian Klonowic, shows the change in the manner of discussing death, which came about soon after the death of Jan Kochanowski, making it possible to return to the medieval visions of decomposition, enriched by that poet by a broad range of hideous things, symbols of vanity. The second part of the paper discusses Baroque paintings of worms eating away the corpse based on selected works, and presents major poetic devices which are meant to convey the vanitas message. There are descriptions of metaphysical nature and ones showing the nothingness of existence in a purely earthly dimension. The paper closes with remarks on exhausting the vanitas discourse using the worms imagery, the example of which are poems using the coffin hideousness in an erotic context.

В статье представлена трактовка восприятия мумии Ленина и московского мавзолея в нефикциональных нарративах, прежде всего в трэвел-журналистике, после распада СССР (с учетом более широкого культурного фона). Ссылаясь на концепцию Эрнста Канторовича о «двух телах» короля, ставится вопрос о «двух телах» Ленина, как о феномене бессмертия «боголенина», а также о природе мумифицированного тела руководителя большевистской революции, выставленного на всеобщее обозрение. Особое внимание уделяется вопросу специфики отношения россиян к власти и правителям.

Artykuł traktuje o postrzeganiu mumii Lenina i moskiewskiego mauzoleum w narracjach niefikcjonalnych, głównie w reportażu podróżniczym, po upadku ZSRR (z uwzględnieniem szerszego tła kulturowego). W nawiązaniu do koncepcji „dwóch ciał króla” Ernsta Kantorowicza podjęto zagadnienie „dwóch ciał” Lenina. Opisano zarówno fenomen nieśmiertelności „bogolenina”, jak i naturę wystawionego na ogląd publiczny zmumifikowanego ciała wodza rewolucji bolszewickiej. Szczególnie podkreślono zagadnienie specyficznego stosunku Rosjan do władzy i władcy.

The article deals with the perception of Lenin's mummy and the Moscow mausoleum in non-fiction narratives, mainly in travel reportage, after the collapse of the USSR (considering the broader cultural background). Concerning Ernst Kantorovich's concept of the "two bodies of the king," the issue of Lenin's "two bodies" was addressed. Both the phenomenon of the immortality of the "bogolenin" and the nature of the mummified body of the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution exposed to public view were described. Particularly emphasized is the issue of the Russians' peculiar attitude toward power and the ruler.
