KGB Museum*
The official Museum of the KGB,
housed in the Lubyanka itself - now the home of the FSB, the KGB's
successor. You can only visit by
prior arrangement, and you must take the tour with a serving FSB Officer as
your Guide here. The museum covers both the overseas espionage activities of
the KGB and their role in turning the Tsarist political prison network into the
Gulags. Questions are permitted. Closed weekends. Excursion: 2 hours. £29 per person.
Anti-KGB Museum*
(The Andrey Sakharov Museum)
When the USSR's leading Nuclear Scientist refused to make The Bomb, he became a
public enemy. The museum tells Sakharov's story, and of those many others who
refused to obey. Closed Mons. Excursion 2 hrs. £20 per person.
The Moscow Kremlin,
regardless what your guidebook may say, as of October 2004 it became impossible
to visit the Kremlin without a Licenced Guide – for security reasons. The
Kremlin is Moscow's medieval citadel, comparable in scale and atmosphere with
The Tower Of London. Highlights include the world's largest cannon and also the
largest bell, and the centerpiece of Cathedral Square – each cathedral
here played a different role in the life of the Tsars – for baptisms,
weddings, coronations, funerals. Closed Thurs & during State Ceremonial
Visits. Excursion 2 hrs. £30 per person |
