G.S. Shpagin Memorial House-Museum
About museum
The only museum in the country dedicated to Hero of Socialist Labour and Stalin Prize laureate G.S. Shpagin — the creator of the Shpagin submachine gun. In the house where the gunsmith lived and worked from 1941 to 1952, period interiors have been recreated using Georgy Semyonovich's personal belongings donated by his family. Information about G.S. Shpagin's design, production and public activities is based on archival research and the recollections of the designer's colleagues.
On the grounds of the G.S. Shpagin memorial museum there is a laser interactive PPSh shooting range that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the 1940s (20th century), learn about the features of domestic small arms used by the Red Army during the war, and safely fire a PPSh fitted with a laser adapter.
