Image: A red carpet welcome- Joseph Stalin welcomes you (29599530713)
Description: We are now at the base of the marble steps awaiting our guide. I believe you are not allowed to wander around on your own in the museum. To my right is a gift shop with many tacky Stalin souvenirs, from Soviet army caps to t-shirts, coffee mugs, pins etc. with the Stalin name and sometimes (though not always) a picture of him. I was not inclined to purchase anything there. Back to our tour, the museum tours starts at the first floor of the building which is reached only by a wide stairway with red carpet (there are no elevators) at the landing of which stands a life-size statue of Stalin. This complex of exhibits is divided into six halls, all well laid out in roughly chronological order and most dedicated to Stalin’s role in the big patriotic war and his victory over Nazism and fascism.
