Ekaterinburg Insider Tip

The Yeltsin Centre is one of the most architecturally striking and intellectually honest presidential museums anywhere โ€” Boris Yeltsin was born near Ekaterinburg and the museum unflinchingly documents the Soviet collapse and chaotic 1990s. Even with no interest in Russian history, the building and interactive exhibits are extraordinary.
