The antique black furniture and golden candelabra, the sculpture of Venus from Milo (the Italian copy of the famous Greek statue made at the end of the XIX century) and a sculptural composition "The Dryad and the Frog" (Berlin Royal Manufactury, the end of XIX century) imparts to the nobility and austerity of the interior of this apartment. magnificent seascape made by an unknown German painter at the beginning of the XX century is one more decoration of the apartment.

After the Great October Revolution in 1917, when Metropol became simultaneously a residence of the Soviet government bodies and the home for the families of the prominent figures of the Communist Party, this apartment was occupied by one of the Bolshevik leaders Nikolay I. Bukharin. Being fond of poultry, he arranged a real Zoo here: dogs ran, birds flew, a monkey jumped, a bear-cub toddled in the apartment. Apparently, they enjoyed completely the fruits of neighbourhood of our younger brothers, and the administration of the hotel imposed a ban on residing with animals.
