Lake Razliv

Lake Razliv was created in the Petrine period during the construction of a weapons factory. It became famous in 1917, when the ruler of the world proletariat spent almost 2 months on its shore, hiding from persecution.

The worker Nikolai Emelyanov hid Lenin and Zinoviev in the attic of his dwelling, and then sent them to the opposite shore of the lake, where the “captives” lived in huts of hay and branches, burned fires and communicated with Stalin, who often visited them. And after the end of the hay season, Lenin, by the decision of the party, was able to leave for Helsingfors.

In 1925, the hut and barn of Lenin and Zinoviev turned into museums. On the territory there are black and white portraits of Lenin's comrades, visitors will also be able to see the Blue Notebook, in which he inscribed quotations of Marx and Engels.

It is interesting that near the museums lives the granddaughter of the worker Emelyanov, a real savior of the October Revolution.
