Lenin's house in Zurich

House of V.I. Lenin in Zurich
Switzerland, Zurich
The house in which the "leader of the Russian revolution" Vladimir Ilyich Lenin lived from February 1916 to April 1917 is located in Zurich. This is reported by a memorial plaque installed on the building. Lenin and his wife N.K. Krupskaya rented a room in an old house of the 16th century with party money. Vladimir Ilyich worked in the library and completed his work Imperialism as the Highest Stage of Capitalism. In his free time, he lectured to workers at a meeting in the People's House, and spent the evenings in the Cabaret Voltaire restaurant located not far from his apartment. Lenin and Krupskaya left Switzerland after learning from the newspapers about the beginning of the revolution in Russia.

There is one "attraction" in Zurich to which you will definitely be brought during a sightseeing tour of the city. The Ulyanov couple (1916-1917) lived in house number 14 on the narrow medieval street Spiegelgasse. The apartment was communal and international, in addition to the owners, the leader of the world proletariat had to share square meters with a shoemaker, a baker and an actor. Lenin lectured and wrote essays in Zurich, and in the evenings he liked to spend time in the restaurant "Cabaret Voltaire", located a stone's throw from the apartment.
