Was here during worldcup. The guide was very good, and could awnser all our questions. This is a must visit place in Samara. Impressive building and how they did it.

Visited this place during the World Cup and was definitely one of the more interesting places in Samara. Has a lot of history and the tour guide was very helpful in providing a feel for what life was like during the time this bunker could have been potentially used. A neat little snapshot into the soviet Union and the history of Samara's role in WW2.

I failed. Yes, this is a museum, yes it is open, no you can't visit. As far as I can tell 1. You have to take a guided tour, which will be in Russian only 2. Guided tours run only for pre-booked parties of 25 or more. 3. There are no tours today. 4. There may be one tomorrow, come back at 13:30 tomorrow. (It's closed 13:00 to 14:00 for lunch break). Clearly I may have misunderstood. Several disappointed independent tourists.

Good history part of the cold war. Never used aparently, even though you can feel the soviet mood. Interesting. Only this anti nuclear bunker is declassified.Built for Stalin, but he never used it cuz he died before it was done. Overall it was very different and interesting. It's worth the visit because it's unlike any other tourist sites.

We wanted to visit Stalin’s bunker today but an old male uniformed staff who looked like he has remained from Soviet times has refused us entry and said that the bunker was closed with a cigarette in his mouth. It was 14:20 and we have showed him the opening times sign on the wall which clearly has showed that the bunker was open daily from 09:00 to 15:00. Then he told us that it was short working day although 1st of March wasn’t such a day. We literally begged him to let us in for 30min only as we had flight out of Samara on Saturday but this time he said another lie. He said that the lights were not working in the bunker. As we were about to leave the garden of the building he opened the door just to throw away his cigarette butt. I advise everyone not to visit this place unless you want to experience how the uniformed staff used to treat ordinary people in Soviet times.

i didn’t know that samara was the second capital of ussr during ww2 where stalin used the basement of this building to run the government.

Stalin actually never used the bunker, but nevertheless a very interesting tour and trip back in history! In general, the city was suppose to be the capital if Moscow fell to the Germans. Next to River Volga, it's a charming city with great hospitality.

Something usual, a "museum" with very bad guides. You will see rooms and anymore, they will speak in a horrible English and inside is very hot.... 30 boring minutes :(

A Soviet space hub, Samara played no small part in the USSR’s space endeavours. The city was responsible for manufacturing the rocket that sent the first person, Yuri Gagarin, into space, heralding the Soviets as space pioneers. Not only does the museum take visitors through Samara’s role in sending the first person into space, it is also a comprehensive information wealth on general Soviet and Russian space exploration endeavours. It even has an original model Vostok rocket erected outside.

It was not bad as visit if you want to see how Russia capsule look like. If you the souvenirs has interesting products to buy. Overall it was a good museum at Samara level

good museum. entrance fee is 500rbs. the museum is rather small and has a few cool pieces of the Russian space program. If you are a space junkie, I suggest you go, but make sure your have a Russian translator since most of everything is in Russian and not much translated to English. the rocket outside is really cool!

This place is very small compared to what you would expect. They have a nice English tour app which cool. They were out of the space food for sale which was one of the main reasons I decided to go there.

It is one of the top 5 monuments/museums of Samara. It remember the glory as a "cosmic city" as the Russians say, there is a small but interesting museum about the relationship between Samara and the cosmic program (Russian and Soviet program) and the importance as industrial heart of theses programs. But anyway, the most visual will be the real rocket "Soyuz" that decorates the avenue.

All about space history and Samara in a small museum. Well organized and informative.

The racket locks a vary good.
