What people are saying
By Takarasina
A good example of objective presentation of 1917 revolutions In Russia (interesting mostly for some locals though)
5.0 of 5 bubblesSept 2020
Me and my wife remember Soviet times very well and so decided to visit this place which in the days of our youth was Mecca for communist pilgrims. We, on the contrary, had never been there. Just for foreigners - Pazliv is a small village near St Petersburg where in July-October 1917 future communist dictator Vladimir Lenin escaped from Russian authorities that wanted him as a German spy. He spent those months mostly in a hay tent at the seaside edge of the forest. Today this reconstructed hay doodah looks more like a rear a big hairy dog with his/her tail up than like a great revolutionary's hideaway. But a small museum is really nice and shows bumpy events of that year as it should - in a calm and balanced way. Lenin is presented as just one of many players on that stage, not as a genius but rather as a master of sophisticated intrigue. Such approach is still not predominant in Russia so I can't but say bravo to the people who practice it here. We also loved part of the exposition which described everyday life in St Petersburg before and after both February and October revolutions. Not many people even in Russia know today that on the night communists were catching power theatres and restaurants were open and people could hardly imagine what a gory mess was encroaching upon them. There's a small souvenir shop inside and one can also take a stroll through a park facing the Gulf of Finland. Just bear in mind that there will be no chance even to drink a cup of tea of coffee there not to mention chewing a crust of bread (at least we found nothing). Maybe the management wants you to feel like an ordinary Soviet citizen in the era of total deficit?

Very small museum, but quite interesting, presenting some curious documents related to preparation of the 1917 bolshevik revolution.
Also, there was an exebition (maybe temporary) of 17 skulls (copies) of primitive humans.

My colleague and I decided to organize an unforgettable trip for our students at the end of the school year, and at the same time introduce them to the Soviet period in the history of our country. To do this, we pre-ordered the “Initiation into Pioneers” program at the “Lenin’s Hut” museum.
On May 25, a group of 33 people set off from the Finland Station to the Tarkhovka station. From the station to the museum we had a 5-kilometer journey along the beautiful Lake Razliv. The guys covered this distance cheerfully and cheerfully. We were greeted very kindly at the museum. Svetlana Konstantinovna gave the children an excursion into the pioneer past, told them about the attributes of the pioneer movement, and most importantly about the values of pioneers. The children happily sang the Pioneer anthem “Raise the fires, blue nights,” which, by the way, we had learned in advance. But most of all, the children enjoyed participating in the reconstruction of the Pioneer line! According to the children's reviews, this day was the best of the school year for them!
