  Currently teaching in Russia. Visiting Kazan with my wife who is visiting. We were brought here by a group of University students from Kazan. This place is amazing! Tons of music/rock and roll memorabilia....a denim/Levis collection...really interesting signs, toys, uniforms. The owner is a really wonderful guy---really passionate about his collection. He'll stop and talk to you about all kinds of things. If you're looking for gifts, there are tons of patches, buttons, magnets for sale...some kitschy, some very cool. Don't miss it!!!

  The best place to feel like in USSR. Every little showpiece is an original part of the past! Even the bathroom is decorated like it was 60 years ago.

  Wow! Such an amazing place filled with so many exciting things! Museums are never as much fun as this one! The owner speaks English and is great to talk to, he even gave me a gift! You will walk out of there smiling like an excited child. You must visit if in Kazan!! Especially if you like rock music!

  Open the door and step into the past. The only difference from Soviet days, is the warm welcome you'll receive from Director Rustem Valiakhmetov who hopes for more visitors, even from Western Europe. This museum is well-worth the half hour it takes for a leisurely visit. Take the time to pause at the various exhibits, imagining what life used to be like. And say hi to Rustem from his first friends from Norway !

  I understand the museum will give more perspective to those that lived in those era and with the things shown in the museum but it's still great fun to walk around, play with the things on display. Great reminiscences of thing from our past with interesting exhibits.

  Had a great time in this small but interactive place. The displayed items caused some nostalgia and created a great museum effect. The youn lady working there was really congenial.

  Small but full of "anything" belonging to the Sovier era (especially in the 80s). It is interesting to compare what are memories of western childhood & teenager time with the Soviet toys and icons. There are some items for sale such as pins. www.muzeisb.ru

  What was mundane life like in the Societ era? What did people wear? What was on the television? What do Lada badges look like? Many of the local young people seem to like this museum. So did I.

  This was fun and extremely interactive. Visitors are encouraged to dress up in old costumes to be photographed and there are many interesting reminders of life in the former Soviet Union. This is not for lovers of more formal exhibitions!
