Yalkala Historical and Ethnographic Reserve Museum — Lenin’s Place
Yalkala Historical and Ethnographic Reserve Museum is located 60 kilometers from St. Petersburg, in the settlement of Ilyichevo. It is dedicated to the history and ethnography of the Karelian Isthmus, and initially there was the House-Museum of Lenin. In August of 1917, Lenin lived in the house of a Petrograd worker in the village of Yalkala (the village was so called until 1948). In 1993 it was decided to stray from the Leninist subject and arrange a reserve museum here.
Now the exposition of the Yalkala Reserve Museum is a real encyclopedia devoted to the history of these places. It displays the archaeological finds from the Karelian Isthmus, ethnographic collections and exhibitions devoted to the flora and fauna. And the house where Lenin lived is currently an ethnographic monument, a farm of the early twentieth century. Visitors to the museum can learn about the occupations of the local population not only thanks to the exhibits behind the glass. Thus, when walking through the territory of the reserve, they can see marsh ores, from which iron was melted, and pits where coal was burned. The master classes held in the museum will enable to learn to get flax yarn.
