Description

Explore the house of Lavrentiy Beria, head of the KGB, on a guided tour. Discover the original furniture, learn about the architectural style, and hear about the evolution of the KGB.
Step into the shadows of the Soviet past on a guided tour of Lavrentiy Beria’s house, the former head of the KGB and the second most powerful figure in the Soviet Union. Explore the very top of the Soviet power pyramid and uncover the chilling history of the KGB.

Follow your guide inside the house where Beria once lived with his family. (Nowadays operates as Olympic Committee in part of the building). See original furniture and rare details of daily life inside this elite household. Learn about the architectural style and symbolism hidden in the building.

Discover how the KGB evolved and spread fear across the Soviet republics. Hear the story of how an ordinary boy from an average Georgian family rose to control the lives — and deaths — of millions. Find out how the man who built a world of executions and terror eventually became a victim of that same system.

Every corner of the house carries a memory. Every object has a story. Let your guide bring you back almost a century in time, into a world where power, paranoia, privilege, and fear existed under one roof.
