Lonely Planet review

This four-room museum is devoted to the history, propaganda and paraphernalia of the Soviet intelligence services. The museum is not open to casual callers but Dom Patriarshy occasionally takes groups there. Security is super tight: an FSB agent leads a small group, room by room, recounting Cold War era espionage anecdotes.

Exhibits include a few fun spy tools, but nothing to really impress a technologically advanced audience. It's predictable, but entertaining. Dom Patriarshy provides a translator.
