About the company:

The State Museum of Political History of Russia was founded in 1919 as the first historical and revolutionary museum in the country. The museum is located in the historical center of St. Petersburg.

The museum buildings are the mansion of the ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya and the mansion of Vasily Brant, two architectural monuments in the Art Nouveau style. The museum tells about the turning points of two centuries of Russian history: the change of political regimes, wars, revolutions and reforms. The heroes of the expositions are tsars and ordinary people, party leaders and cultural figures, deciders of fates and victims of terror.
