Lonely Planet review for Guvd Museum

For police enthusiasts, the great but little-­known GUVD Museum chronicles the history of criminality and law enforcement by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Leningrad/St Petersburg. This balanced, fascinating exhibition, featuring photos, costumes and wea­pons in several large halls, will acquaint you with interesting titbits about gang bosses and the Mafia’s reign of terror in the 1920s through the fight to control illegal abortions and alcohol production. You’ll need to get a guided tour for this, so you will want to book in advance.
