Leo en RIA Novosti que en Novosibirsk ha abierto el primer museo de la Unión Soviética. De cómo era la vida en la Unión Soviética, se entiende. Una visita realmente interesantes, aunque un poco lejana también.
NOVOSIBIRSK, July 16 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s first ever museum dedicated to life in the Soviet Union opened in the West Siberian city of Novosibirsk on Thursday.
Museum exhibits include Soviet-era paintings, photographs, sculptures, radios, teapots, irons, as well as posters of Soviet celebrities, including the first man in space, Yury Gagarin. Most of the items have been donated by locals.
The museum building is also an exhibition in its own right. Built in 1917, the year of the Bolshevik Revolution, it was later used as a kommunalka, a Soviet-era communal apartment shared by six families.
The Soviet Union ceased its 74-year existence in 1991.
«For me the USSR was in no way an evil empire. I think people were much kinder then than now,» a museum visitor said.

Soy el artífice de que este sitio web funcione. Me fascina la historia de la Unión Soviética y Rusia, su cultura, sus tradiciones, su idioma (aunque con este último mantenga una relación de amor-odio). Me quedo con momentos históricos: todo lo que sucedió en el Frente Oriental de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Perestroika.
