Other sights in Vladivostok

  1. Antique Automobile Museum

    If you’re a bit of a car (or Soviet) nerd, the newish Antique Automobile Museum – stranded under the smoke of a nearby factory in east Vladivostok – is an absolute classic. A room full of Sovietmobiles (motorcycles, too) from the 1930s to 1970s, includes a 1948 M&M-green GAZ-20 ‘Pobeda’ (Victory). If they start selling reproductions of the poster with an acrobat on a motorcycle holding a Stalin flag, send us one, please! Take bus 31 along ul Svetlanskaya and exit after it reaches ul Borisenko’s end.

  2. Yul Brynner’s House

    On ul Aleutskaya you’ll find Yul Brynner’s house where The King and I actor was born. Don’t tribute Yul by smoking: though the plaque on the four-storey house shows Yul with a cigarette, lung cancer took his life in 1985.

  3. Artetazh

    Artetazh is DVGTU’s humble modern art showcase (in the second aluminium-siding building). The permanent exhibits have a few intriguing piss-takes at the country’s red past, such as the 12 full commandments painted in Soviet style.
