Hello. We have an excursion to Stalin's dacha at 5 o'clock.
Guys, let me write you down. Our order is strict. Come up to someone to me.
The first time we tried to get to the dacha of Stalin 5 years ago, but it wasn`t easy.
Because there aren’t many people who wished to visit Stalin's summer residence, and excursions were not regular.
Now everything has changed. The first call was successful.
We had several evening excursions at our disposal.
This dacha was built in 1936 for rest and recreation
The dacha was built so that our leader could take hydrogen sulphide baths.
Do you know what Matsesta is?
This is an unusual healing spring of water.
It was assumed that medical procedures here will be held annually.
The Kremlin doctors recommended him to take medical baths every year.
He had problems with the musculoskeletal system.
In 1934 it was decided to build this villa.
In 1936, this dacha was built.
In 1937, Stalin came here for the first time.
He came here in the autumn.
His retinue was permanent.
With him came the head of the security Vlasik and personal secretary Poskrebyshev, as well as his children Vasily and Svetlana.
The security personnel were separately.
All the attendants were from Sochi.
The last time Stalin was here in September 1950.
He was never here again.
This is the fifth summer residence.
Two Stalin's dachas are located near Moscow, two in Abkhazia.
Our dacha is the largest.
All the dachas of Stalin designed one architect - Merzhanov.
All dachas are built in the style of Stalinist Empire.
They are very similar to each other.
All dachas are the same type. They just have different sizes.
Green color is present everywhere.
Green is a color of nature, it is used not for the purpose of camouflage.
This is an active boarding house.
The excursion route on which we will pass exists within the framework of the existing boarding house.
We have 12 rooms. People come to visit us. Holidaymakers enjoy all that used by Stalin.
In 2013, we stopped taking vacationers.
We are doing restoration.
In 2007, the dacha was leased, a large state-owned company.
We don’t know who they are.
They make restoration for their money.
Before the start of the Olympics in Sochi, they had time to update the roof and facade.
They could not long pick up the green paint and understand its composition, but in the end they did it.
When Stalin died in 1953, the dacha was conserved.
There was a staff there, but no one came to rest here.
Nikita Khrushchev didn’t admit anyone here.
I don’t know why.
In the 90's it was transferred to the sanatorium "Green Grove"
Since 2007 it is private property.
Stalin's dacha is a monument of history and culture.
On the second floor there are residential rooms.
On the first floor there are two restaurant halls.
The first block of villas is a recreation area. In the recreation area was the Stalin cinema and restroom.
Good day. Stalin's Dacha.
Good day.
We work from 10:00 to 16:00. At 16:00 we have the last tour.
We conduct excursions every hour.
Now Stalin's dacha is closed.
Excursions are over. Do you understand?
Bus stop "Green Grove". We work every day without a break.
When you get off at the bus stop, go to the other side of the road.
When the dacha was conserved, these were terrible times.
At that time, many things were lost.
In the 90's, things that managed to save were transferred to this Stalin's cinema.
Once again I repeat, there used to be a cinema hall here.
The ceiling remained unchanged.
Sconce of 1936.
The table was in Stalin's cabinet.
There is a cutlery on the table.
This cutlery was donated to Stalin during the seven-year anniversary of Mao Zedong.
This is the manual work of Chinese masters. How lovely.
There is a phone that allows direct contact with the Kremlin.
The wax figure is the exact anthropometric figure of Stalin.
All proportions up to a millimeter are observed.
A doll for the museum was created by one Georgian architect, a fan of Stalin.
When the doll was made, a death mask was used.
Here you can see a sample of Stalin's handwriting.
Handwriting of genius.
He did not write legibly, but without errors.
Here it is a question of the Sukharev Tower.
There was such an episode in our history.
In the early 30-ies, when they expanded the Garden Ring in Moscow had to demolish the tower.
This tower was a monument of architecture of the times of Tsar Peter 1.
Society of Moscow architects was against it.
A whole company was created to protect this tower, but it was still demolished.
In this letter, Stalin wrote a verdict to Kaganovich.
We studied the question of Sukharev Tower and came to the conclusion that it must necessarily be demolished.
We offer to take down Sukharev Tower and expand the road.
This is the newspaper of 1948.
Here is the bed and the closet that stood in Stalin's bedroom.
Downstairs he had a cabinet, at the top there was a bedroom.
That's how he had a small bed.
We have preserved the leather cloak of the security chief.
The leather sofa that stood in Stalin's cabinet.
This is the usual sofa of that time.
No one specially made furniture for Stalin.
It is covered with pork skin and stuffed with horse hair.
This is an ordinary environmentally friendly material.
This sofa did not perform the function of bulletproofing.
Yes, horsehair slows the movement of the bullet.
Cossacks used to wear burkins from horsehair.
Another table of his personal secretary, Poskrebyshev, still survived.
The accessories on the table are relevant to that time.
It is the flag of the Georgian Republic of the 40s.
He has nothing to do with Stalin's dacha.
He came to us when the museum was formed and we keep it.
Georgia is the birthplace of Stalin.
This secretary from the Karelian birch stood in the secretary's office.
They worked here a lot, they did not just rest.
This desk was in Stalin's cabinet, but Poskryobyshev also used it.
A banquet table and a buffet were located in the restaurant hall.
Now let's see the photos.
Photos of Stalin that were made in this residence we don’t have.
Maybe there are photos somewhere.
Stalin didn’t like to be photographed.
In this photo you can see Stalin with his three children at the dacha "Blihnyaya".
This is an amateur photo of his children.
This photo was taken at the Yalta Conference of 1945.
Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin - the leaders of the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition.
At this confession the issue of redistribution of the borders of Europe was decided.
Stalin proposed the creation of the UN.
The UN was, of course, established later, but was first discussed in 1945.
This is Stalin's first wife, Kato Svanidze.
She was a very beautiful woman, her ancestors were Georgian princes.
Stalin was married twice.
Both marriages were the result of a great mutual love.
She, unfortunately, died too early.
She gave birth to the son of Jacob, then fell ill with malaria.
She could not cope with the disease.
Jacob was brought up in Georgia.
Jacob moved to Moscow later, when his son, Vasily, was born to his second wife, Nadezhda Alilueva.
Nadezhda Aliluyeva committed suicide in 1932. She shot herself.
She was never at this dacha.
The fate of children is tragic.
Jacob was killed in the war.
In 1941 he was taken prisoner, in 1943 he died, provoking his murder.
He jumped from the second floor of the barracks and was shot.
Vasily is a brilliant man of his time, an aviation general
He was a reveler, a drunkard and a kind-hearted man.
When Stalin died, Khrushchev repressed him.
He was imprisoned, then rehabilitated.
He was banned from entering Moscow. Then he was exiled to Kazan, where he died in 1962 in a terrible condition.
Svetlana was the only child of Stalin, who lived to be old.
Here is one of her recent photos.
Here is her daughter, who was born in the USA.
In 2001 she died in a boarding house for the elderly.
These are the children of Svetlana Stalin - Joseph and Katya.
Joseph is already dead.
Katya lives in the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
She lives alone, does not communicate with anyone.
In the United States, Svetlana had another daughter, Olga.
This is the pool table of Stalin, which stands since 1936.
In 2007 he was dragged.
Holidaymakers use this table.
Parquet remained from the time of Stalin.
Ceilings, chandelier, doors have remained since those times.
Tapestries of later time.
The former were all decayed.
These paintings have survived from the time of Stalin
Why such scenes are chosen, I can not tell you.
Stalin played pool very bad.
He was very fond of playing, but he did not do well, because he had a left hand injured in his childhood.
His shoulder and elbow joints of the left hand worked poorly.
He often lost in pool.
He did not like to be given a head start.
He suppressed it.
The Kremlin players in pool had a tradition.
The loser climbed under the pool table and crowed.
Stalin often crowed from under the pool table.
Pool cue has survived since that time, but I can’t say that this is Stalin's personal cue.
Nevertheless, the cue has its size. Cue must get to the player's nose.
Take a picture and go out into the street.
You can sit down at the table or on the sofa to take a picture, just don’t touch Stalin, because anything can fall off from him.
Who continues the tour, please come to me.
Who was not here in this part of the building?
This is the Stalinist wing of the building.
This door has been preserved since 1936.
Everything remains as it was.
Glass - this is handmade rhinestone.
The thickness of the glass is 8 mm.
Accessories 1936.
All locks are saved.
The keys to the locks we have all also.
Please pass.
Wooden decoration is the original.
In furnish 15 kinds of wood are used.
Mostly, such moisture-resistant tree species as beech, hornbeam, oak were used.
Larches are used on terraces.
There the old covering is rotten.
Before finishing the tree was dried for half a year.
Because of the high humidity, casein glue was used instead of nails.
In this room only the parquet was scraped.
They don’t intend to do anything else, because restorers were banned.
Behind this door was Stalin's cabinet.
Now this suite has an area of 105 sq meters
He is now on restoration.
The chief of the guard lived here.
This room has been preserved in its original condition.
These chess of Stalin.
This is Stalin's gramophone.
This recreation room, it is adjacent to the pool.
Here Stalin listened to music and played chess.
This part of the building underwent a barbarous alteration.
Everything here has already been changed.
There is nothing original left.
The windows here were French before.
From the windows there was a beautiful view.
Then all this was altered.
The size of the basin bowl remained unchanged and this ladder.
We wash the walls with water only.
So everything was done, as it should be if for so many years the walls were not covered with mold.
I'll show you the fireplace room.
Stalin did not like carpets.
These metal holders have remained since 1936.
This is a window made of Venetian glass, it leads to the room of the security chief.
This is the hall of the second floor.
Behind this door lived the son of Stalin - Vasily.
In this room Svetlana lived.
In the rooms of the children of Stalin preserved wooden decoration.
Stalin's bedroom was in front of that spreading palm tree.
Glasses are also made of rock crystal.
Here you can sit at the table. A table of a later period.
Fireplace in working condition.
We are still burning it.
In this room, we very often receive guests.
This clock used to be in Stalin's office.
All fixtures, sconces, ceilings - all this is original.
There were never any special celebrations here. Stalin preferred family rest.
No drinking, no party was here.
Stalin drank tea on the veranda.
This balcony opens onto a patio.
That's all I can tell you and show you.
I leave you here so that you can take photos.
What was here before?
Whose rooms were there?
The offices were in the Stalinist wing of the building.
Here was the restaurant hall.
Where is your son?
