metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Daily life of the Soviet elite of Leningrad and the Leningrad Region from 1945–1950 has not
  been studied sufficiently. This is due to the presence, in the scientific works devoted to the
  Stalinist era, of a tilt towards political history to the detriment of social history, as well as
  the rehabilitation of the victims of the Leningrad affair that lasted for decades. The article
  analyzes sources of ‘museum origin’ on the studied topic, which are kept in museums in St.
  Petersburg. By the sources of ‘museum origin’ we mean the materials from museum archives,
  museum items deposited in collections and presented in expositions and exhibitions, as well
  as data posted on official museum sites. A special role in studying the daily life of the Soviet
  elite should be given to the State Museum of Political History of Russia. The museum was the
  first to publicly cover the topic of the ‘Leningrad affair,’ which had an impact on the growth
  of public interest in the study of this research problem. Today, among all museum collections,
  this collection mostly reflects the scale and nature of the ‘Leningrad affair.’ The materials of the
  funds of the State Memorial Museum of Defense and the Siege of Leningrad are mainly limited
  by the chronological framework of 1941–1945, however, the connection with the problem
  of studying everyday life of the Soviet elite in the second half of the 1940s and early 1950s
  is obvious. Thanks to the initiative of relatives of the victims of the ‘Leningrad affair,’ at the
  beginning of the 21st century, the collection was replenished with materials from family archives:
  letters and photographs were provided by the relatives of P. T. Talyush and V. N. Ivanov.
  Additionally, the article discusses sources of ‘museum origin’ from other historical museums
  in St. Petersburg, including departmental and public.
