Founded as Simbirsk in the 17th century, Ulyanovsk is a tourist stop for only one reason: it’s the birthplace and boyhood home of Lenin (born Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov).
Initially a fortified town, Simbirsk was Moscow’s border guard post and a trade centre. During the 18th century it earned the nickname ‘Nobles’ Nest’, as Russia’s rich used to retire here for their holidays.
