The State Museum of the History of Saint Petersburg, located at the Rumantsyev Mansion. This is one of the many history museums pertaining to the land of SPb, but it covers more of the Soviet Era if anything.
It's located on the English Embankment, Next to Galernaya, on the block after where Smolny is located, so it's the closest museum to the university, other than Novoya Gollandiya, which is more of a hangout spot/market than it is a museum. Oh, and the Naval Museum. Can't forget that.
So the museum exhibition that I ended up going to dealt with the title of this blogpost, the Siege of Leningrad. over 900 days of a blockade, harsh winters, and a famine that wreaked havoc in our darling Leninsburg. It wasn't something you could remain cheerful about, especially once you arrive to the section involving the children having to see their family members perish.
Luckily, the tour ends with a before and after look of the siege and current SPb, and leaves off on a cheerful note with a proletariat pride to defend the motherland, and happiness that you defended communism from the fascist forces. PURE PROPAGANDA!
