The museum ethos was to remain apart from the ideological education practiced by other Lenin museums, as well as from a tendency toward a ‘Lenin cult’. Today, the museum, among other things, collects, exhibits and researches material related to Lenin's life and activities and the history of the Soviet Union/Russia, particularly where the material relates to connections with Finland and the Finns. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union many documents, creating a more accurate picture of Lenin, have been unearthed from various archives. In the 1990s the old objects and symbol world of old Soviet socialism became museum goods. At the same time that this unique body of material faces the threat of destruction, the importance of the Lenin museum as the recorder of an entire era has grown. « less

I did not like it at all. It seems an exibition made by scholars kids with copy of letters and pictures glue on big sheets of paper. Everything was writen in finnish, or russian. It´s small, and all information presented can be read as well on internet. The fee of 5 euros is too much for what it is really more

A very dedicated team of people (mostly volunteers) have kept this tiny museum in perfect condition for many years. We were quite taken aback by the apparently favorable light in which Lenin and Soviet history were shown, until we spoke to one of the staff who explained that the museum was set up in the period when the USSR still... more
