Why take this tour?

Discover the remnants of the communist capital of the huge Soviet empire. Our 3-hour walking tour leads along the streets and squares of the city which preserve the signs and footprints of the communist past. The guide tells you the story how the communist empire evolved from the October 1917 revolt, formation of the Soviet Union under Lenin in 1922, went through the big Terror under Stalin in 1930s, the GULAG system, Khrushev’s “thaw” of 1960s, Brezhnev’s stagnation, and finally collapsed after Gorbachev’s “perestroika” in 1991. The tour leads you through Red Square and Lubyanka with notorious KGB, passes by the Bolshoi theatre where the USSR was proclaimed, Revolution square, and along Tverskaya, Moscow's Main street.
