Frontline Museum in the settlement of Leninsky

About museum

The museum was founded in 2007; its collection was formed over more than ten years through the efforts of search volunteers and residents of Tula Oblast. In 2015, after the settlement was incorporated into the municipal formation — the city of Tula, the museum became a branch of the Tula Historical and Architectural Museum.

The exhibition is dedicated to the Tula Defensive Operation of 1941 and features authentic items found on the battlefields: from everyday trench items and letters from the front to a German machine gun with a jammed belt. The interactive part of the museum is presented as a replica of a dugout located below floor level. Visitors can go down into it, hold the famous PPSh or a Mosin rifle, and feel the weight of a soldier's helmet.
