In building No. 79, known as the "House of Freedom" or the Vice-Governor's House, the Museum of the History of the Youth Movement has been located since October 1991. This museum was founded in 1988 as the Museum of the History of the Ryazan Regional Komsomol Organization. The building is part of the estate of the Ryazan vice-governor, the construction of which was completed in 1786. Until 1917, it housed the residence of the Ryazan governor.
In the spring of 1917, the building hosted the Council of Workers', Soldiers', and later Peasants' Deputies, and it was named the "House of Freedom." On October 14 and 16, 1917, the first provincial congress of the Councils of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies took place here, which adopted a resolution to transfer all power in the province to the Councils and to immediately end the war. In the summer of 1919, the headquarters of the Southern Front of the Red Army was located in the building, and later, the club of the Communist Youth named after A. V. Lunacharsky. In the 1930s, the building was used as communal housing. After restoration in 1988, it was handed over to youth organizations.
The museum's exhibition did not impress me. The main part is dedicated to the history of the Olympic movement, while another part focuses on contemporary art, which I did not like. You can visit the museum for about ten minutes. The ticket price for ordinary citizens is 60 rubles.
