Lonely Planet review

Covering the history of the Soviet and Russian military since 1917, this massive museum occupies 24 exhibit halls, plus open-air exhibits. Over 800,000 military items include uniforms, medals and weapons. Among the highlights are remainders of the American U2 spy plane (brought down in the Urals in 1960) and the victory flag raised over Reichstag in 1945. Take trolleybus No 69 (or walk) 1.25km west from the Novoslobodskaya metro.
