Museum of socialist life in Kazan

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

This is one of the most famous museums in Kazan, and perhaps the most unusual. Here on two floors are collected all kinds of items from the era of the Soviet Union. The collection is simply huge (it is claimed that more than 10,000 items), and among the exhibits the older generation will find a lot of things that they had in childhood or youth: a large number of toys; a couple of Soviet slot machines; Soviet equipment and cameras; a collection of bottles from drinks produced in the USSR; clothes that can be tried on and photographed, and a bunch of other things. There is also a "rock and Roll Hall of Fame" with a collection of guitars and "rocker" paraphernalia. Almost all objects can be touched, and you can even play in sea battle. And do not forget to look into the Soviet toilet, the entrance to which is on the stairs on the second floor.

In fairness, it should be noted that among the exhibits there are those that do not directly relate to the Soviet period. Well, if you do not feel interest or nostalgic feelings for the Soviet period, keep in mind that visiting the museum may disappoint you a little, since excursions are not held here, the exhibits are arranged in a chaotic order, there are no signatures.
