Tour Description
First of all you will see a symbol of Soviet times, the residence of KGB, Gorodok Chekistov (CheKa officers’ cantonment). This is a remarkable example of constructivist architecture, poplar in Russia. Gorodok Chekistov, built in 30-s, is designed in the form of a Soviet symbol, a sickle and a hammer. The complex presented a closed, guarded territory with several blocks of flats, a hostel for young KGB commissars, the Culture House and shops. Now this territory is open, the houses are inhabited with civil citizens and tourists can stay in the former hostel for young KGB commissars, now it houses a modern hotel. Then you will make your way to the District Officers’ House, it was built in ‘Stalin Empire’ style on the Russian Army Square. You will see the open air museum of defense technology and the Afghanistan War Memorial. Do you want to taste Soviet life? After this sightseeing tour, you will have a meal in the restaurant ‘USSR’. Tasty dinner (borscht, pelmeni, pancakes, caviar) and creative design will make you think that it's simply possible to take part in USSR life now! To remember your Soviet trip forever you can buy a Soviet souvenir, Russian fur cap, coins, matreshka (nesting dolls), a USSR T-shirt and others. You will get a bottle of Russian vodka for free. We will lift the iron veil of the Soviet Epoch for you!
