Price from: USD $89

Glasnost and perestroika! At a renowned museum dedicated to the spoils of Russian political history in St Petersburg or Moscow, you’ll see exhibits right from the revolutionary events that overthrew the Romanov dynasty and founded the Soviet regime which was to remain till 1991. Soviet and Bolshevik propaganda including posters, photographs and artefacts that helped bring about collectivisation, Stalin’s infamous purges plus commentary of a guide will illustrate to you what actually happened.

The USSR went from strength to strength for a great period, before the red tide started its ebb during a stagnant political and economical period from the 70s into the mid 80s. When Mikhail Gorbachev arrived in 1985, he spearheaded glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in an attempt to modernise Communism and the Soviet Union. Ultimately, this move heralded the demise of a communist Soviet Union.
