Ulyanovsk is best known as the birthplace of Vladimir Lenin and formed from his surname Ulyanov. Previously known as Simbirsk, there is plenty to interest commie sympathizers, history buffs, and a few random tourists (I fall into the third category).
If you visit in December (as we did), you’ll experience a proper Russian winter and a beautifully frozen Volga River.
