Sochi Dacha of Stalin - one of the 18 country residences of the leader (the exact number, however, is not known, but this figure is inclined to the majority of historians) . It is believed that Stalin nurtured to the Black Sea coast special affection and loved his dacha in Sochi more than others . Now the dacha is turned into a museum, but since the times of the Stalin era there has not changed much . The exterior of the complex, the interiors surrounding the garden - everything remains as it was seen Soviet leader, except that the trees have grown . Pe The absence of luxury, which manifests itself in almost every detail . Neither valuable paintings, nor exquisite furniture, everything is strictly and ascetic: they say it was precisely this situation that Stalin preferred . The facade of the building is painted in a discreet, dull- green color to look worse from the air .
Interior
Children's rooms are modestly furnished, nothing is noticeable and the cabinet with a billiard room . Visitors pass from the hall to the hall and, under the stories of the guide, they look at the authentic things of the head of the USSR: here is his desk, here is a carpet, but a leather sofa made to order, here the leader liked to read books while smoking a pipe. Lunches were arranged in the fireplace hall on the second floor, and in the cinema Stalin was resting to watch movies. By the way, he was a famous movie fan, reviewing his favorite pictures dozens of times.
At the sight of the wax figure of Stalin sitting in the office, many visitors startled by surprise. It painfully naturalistic it looks. No wonder that many after such surprises assure that they saw the ghost of Stalin, strolling along the corridors. And such mystical stories have accumulated a lot.
