Museums in Russia

The Walk of Fame in Ivanovo is located on the territory of the Ivanovo Institute of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergencies of Russia. At the beginning of the Alley a monument was erected in honor of graduates of the institute who died in the line of duty. A museum of fire fighting equipment is located along the Alley. A variety of fire fighting equipment from different periods of time, assembled from all over Russia and carefully restored, are exhibited in the open air.

Opened in late 2014, this is an ecletic collection of cars, motorcycles, memoribilia and more near St Petersburg. There are unique home-made creations shown as well.

The museum has a unique collection of Soviet and foreign motor vehicles of the 20s-70s of the XX century, which includes more than fifty antique cars and motorcycles of various countries and brands.

This museum in St Petersburg was opened in August 2012 at the initiative of Vladimir Garnin, whose private collection of classic cars formed the basis of the exposition. All cars presented in the museum have been restored by the staff of the museum. Most of the exhibits are in working order, and participate in citywide events and in the shooting of historical films.

There are four modern museum buildings and outdoor spaces with a total exhibition space of approximately 15,000 square meters in this private collection, which includes more than fifty tanks and self-propelled guns, dozens of cannons, automobiles, and motorcycles, over 700 firearms and bladed weapons, photographs, documents, awards, and uniforms

The collection collection comprises over 150 Russian, Soviet, and foreign vehicles, ranging from production in the 1930s to advanced prototypes. The exhibition includes a ZIL-111V, a Category I monument of Russian science and technology, a national treasure of Russia and a protected state property.

In the summer of 2014, the leadership of the RIAT group of companies decided to create a museum of Soviet cars. This decision was not spontaneous, since the repair and manufacture of automotive equipment was the original purpose of the enterprise. The creation of the museum is an attempt to return to its origins, a tribute to the glorious past, which is so important in our impersonal age of globalization.
