The Lower Rank St Petersburg Memorial Museum details the history of St Petersburg from the perspective of the city's lower classes, as opposed to the nobility and peasantry (it is often referred to as the Commoner Museum).  It is located in the building where Vladimir Lenin lived from February 1894 to April 1895 and it was previously a branch of the Central Lenin Museum.  After the fall of the Soviet Union it became dedicated to the revolutionary and democratic movement of the 1880s and 1890s, whereas in 2006 it reopened in its current incarnations.  As well as still displaying the room where Lenin lived which is probably the highlight of a visit, the museum  has exhibits on the lives of ordinary people, including during the siege of Leningrad.
