Plekhanov House

Plekhanov House, part of the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg, houses a significant collection of archives and materials dating back to 1799, including the library and archives of Georgi Plekhanov, a key figure in Russian political history and the founder of the Russian social democratic movement. The collection features over 5,000 items, including original manuscripts and correspondence, and covers various aspects of Russian and international history, revolutionary movements, and social history. Established in 1929 after Plekhanov's widow donated his works to the Soviet Union, the house serves as a vital resource for researchers and tourists interested in Russia's intellectual and political heritage.
