Sergey Kirov Apartment Museum, Political memorial museum in Petrogradsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Sergey Kirov Apartment Museum is a residential space in Saint Petersburg with eight rooms where a Soviet political leader lived from 1926 until 1934. The rooms display original furnishings and personal objects, along with photographs and documents from that period of Leningrad's history.
The museum was opened in 1937, three years after the death of the Soviet political figure who had lived in the apartment. This moment marked the start of major changes in the Soviet state.
The apartment reflects how Soviet officials lived in Leningrad during the 1920s and 1930s, with rooms arranged as they were when occupied. Visitors can see the day-to-day surroundings of the period and understand how people of importance arranged their homes then.
The museum is located in a residential neighborhood and is best reached on foot or by public transport if you plan your route in advance. A visit typically takes about one to two hours depending on how much time you spend reading the displays and exploring the rooms.
The museum displays information about the rationing system of the 1930s, showing what food and goods were available and how people managed during that period. These objects offer a rare glimpse into the everyday struggles and economic conditions of the time.
