(For history freaks) Is the Alliluyeva apartment where Lenin and Stalin stayed just before the 1917 revolution still standing? If so, are people living in it? Can you tour it? Also, when I was there a few years ago, I did a tour of Kirov's home, which was quite interesting. Is this museum still open? Is there a web site for this place? Thank you.

Kirov's apartment is still a museum also - with an exhibition devoted to resistance of children in 1930ies("Thank you for our happy childhood") There is a page devoted to Kirov's museum at http://www.spbmuseum.ru/kirov/ - - all in Russian

Is it near the Peter and Paul Fortress or on the other side of the river near the Winter Palace? Also, is there a web site for it? I'm annoyed that I missed it while I was there a few years ago. Perhaps I can go there via photographs! Thanks for the link to the Kirov museum.

That apartment appears to be between the Taurida Palace and the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, near the intersection of 10th Sovetskaya and Mitninskya ulitsa. I found my brochure from the Kirov. It is at 26/28 Kamennoostrovsky prospect, just north of the Peter & Paul fortress. Thanks for the info.
