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. Having learned from the newspapers about the revolution that had begun in Russia, the Ulyanovs hastily left Zurich and departed for St. Petersburg.
