A hundred years with Lenin in Siberia Since 1991, the year that saw the dissolution of the Communist Party and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the museum system in Russia has been deeply marked by an ongoing transformation. In the 1990s the museums became important actors in the process aimed at redefining Russian understanding of the past and rewriting Russian history.A major feature of the system was the extensive network of institutions and memorials focusing on the life and work of Lenin. Its wide geographical positio- ning was a core element in the cult of Lenin and served as an important strategy in maintaining his canonization. The hub of this network of museums was at the Lenin museum in Moscow, which was owned and financed by the Central Committee of the Communist Party.With the dissolution of the Communist Party in 1991 the network lost both its visitors and its financial support, in effect its raison d’être. Many of the museums simply closed and their activities were discontinued, others survived after a thorough reorientation of their work. Lenin had been banished to the Krasnoyarsk region in Siberia from 1897–1900 and in Soviet times the traces of his stay there became the object of scrupulous preservation to which the public were offered access. Many of these sites and memorials still exist. The big museums of Sjusjenskoje and Krasnoyarsk are the primary examples. They have succeeded to carry out an impressive programme of renewal. The Krasnoyarsk museum has bveen particularly successful and has become one of the most interesting museums in the new Russia
