Дом Василия и Прасковьи Кулик, Historic residence in Petrischevo, Russia.
The Kulik residence is a wooden house built in the 1940s style, now part of the Zoya Museum Complex in Petrischevo. The interior retains its original furnishings and layout, offering a clear view of how people lived and organized their homes during that era.
In November 1941, Soviet resistance fighter Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya spent her final night here before being executed by German forces the following morning. This event transformed the house into a symbol of wartime sacrifice and Soviet resistance.
The house serves as a window into family life during wartime occupation, showing how ordinary people maintained their homes during one of history's darkest periods. The preserved rooms and objects reflect the daily existence of those who lived here before and after the dramatic events of 1941.
The house is open to visitors as part of guided tours through the Zoya Museum Complex. Visitors can walk through the rooms at a comfortable pace and examine the preserved furnishings and household items on display.
Inside the house stands the original wooden bench where Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya rested during her last hours before her death. This simple piece of furniture has become one of the most moving objects in the museum, drawing the attention of many visitors.
