Karelian Isthmus Military Museum, Military museum in Vyborg, Russia
The Karelian Isthmus Military Museum is a collection facility in Vyborg dedicated to artifacts from Soviet and Finnish conflicts. The holdings include uniforms, equipment, documents, and photographs spanning multiple war periods.
The museum was founded in 2013 to document the wars between Soviet and Finnish forces from 1939 to 1944. These conflicts fundamentally shaped the region's territorial boundaries and historical trajectory.
The collection reflects how the conflicts shaped daily life and identity in the region. Visitors can see personal items and documents that show how the wars touched both soldiers and civilians.
The collection is accessible during operating hours, which vary by season. It is helpful to confirm opening times in advance and wear comfortable shoes for walking through the exhibition spaces.
The exhibition holds original printed leaflets from two distinct conflict periods that were used to communicate messages and influence the population. These materials provide direct insight into the propaganda strategies that were deployed on both sides.
