Comparison of Hexagon satellite imagery dated July 1980 5 with satellite imagery from March 2022 6 shows that the overall structural condition of the mausoleum remained unchanged during this period. A Soviet-era image of the back of the mausoleum as well as its sketch and plan in a 1995 publication 2 show that it was already partially destroyed and collapsing.
