This is the only operating Lenin’s Museum in Urals. Opened in 1941 on the site of the estate of P.I. Choglokova in the house with a mezzanine, in which wife of Vladimir Lenin – Nadezhda Krupskaya (1869–1939) rented a flat, while serving political exile in Ufa in 1900–1901. Lenin visited her here in 1900 twice (in February and June). He met here with Ufa Social Democrats. The two-stored house was built on Turemnaya street (now Dostoevsky Street) approximately in 1860s. In 1937–1938 it was restored. On the second floor, in three small rooms in mezzanine, there is a memorial setting. On the first floor there is a documentary exhibition devoted to Lenin’s stay in Ufa. In 1982 a memorial zone was established close to House-Museum: partially restored historic appearance of the street with houses and outer buildings (12 wooden and 2 stone houses) of the end of XIX and beginning of XX centuries. In 1986–1991 there was Ufa branch of the Central Museum named after Vladimir Lenin. In 2002 the demolishing of these houses has started. And now only Vladimir Lenin’s House and Museum is functioning.
