Duration: 4 hours.
This tour is Russian history in a nutshell – from the ancient times to Ivan the Terrible,
the Napoleonic War of 1812, the Crimean War, the Red October revolution, both World Wars
and the Cold War, all the way up to Perestroika of the 80s and the early 90s.
One of the stops along the way is the former Kshesinskaya Mansion. Once a love nest of the
famous ballerina, this charming Style Moderne house was occupied by the Bolsheviks in 1917
and turned into their headquarters. Now it houses the Museum of Political History packed with unique artefacts
related to the history of the Soviet Union: models of communal apartments
and of the 1930s workers' barracks, NKVD investigator uniforms, Lenin's private study and much more.
The subject of Russian political history is vast, and this tour can be done in many different ways.
Let us know if you have a special interest in the subject and
we'll tailor a personalised Russian Political History Tour for you.
The tour is guided by Alexander, our chief expert on Russian
political history.
