At the end of his visit to Lenfilm studios, the President visited its museum with over 350,000 items, including costumes, props and personal items from prominent film people. Some of these are valuable and used to belong to the Imperial family. The President also visited the studio’s vintage car garage. The old cars all run and are in good condition.
