...In the spring of 1917 Vladimir Lenin returned from Germany to revolutionary Russia but found himself pursued by the police and secret service. He fled to the small place nearby St-Petersburg, Razliv, where lot af summer houses were (and are). He lived for a while at the barn of his fellow revolutionary, and went fishing on the shore of Razliv lake, where he lived in a hay hut. There he wrote his program how to start Communist's revolution in Russia. Lately he returned from this place and actually started it, and in October 25 of 1917 become the leader of Soviet Russia.
His living place in Razliv after his death become the museum, and granite monument, depicting his hay hut was erected in 1927. Through all of the years of USSR it was one of the most officially praised museums, now it's one of the less visited.
But museum still exist, newly restaurated, with a new exposition about the events of that far summer. Very nice park there, too.
