- Part II (Museum): The section was apparently built in 1951 as a museum of the history of socialism, but was clearly intended to commemorate Stalin, who died in 1953. The section consists of six halls arranged in chronological order from Stalin's birth to his reign and World War II, as well as his death and Stalin's Gift Hall. There is also a room called Stalin's office where his personal belongings are located.
