Museum of Soviet Household in Yekaterinburg
In 2017 Yekaterinburg has got a new museum – the Museum of the Soviet Household.
Irina Svetonosova, a former journalist was inspired by the idea of the similar museum in Kazan and decided to open a similar nostalgic exhibition of the Soviet memorabilia in her home town.

She rented a 100 years old house in the city center and started collecting old stuff from the attics of her friends and relatives. The citizens of Yekaterinburg who have already been to the museum now bring their own items for the museum, so the collection continues growing.

Of course, for Russian visitors it’s a reason to feel nostalgic about their childhood days. I believe, it’ll also be interesting for foreign visitors of Yekaterinburg to understand how people lived in the USSR and may be to compare the life style with their own.
