In 1972, the Hotel Viru in Tallinn, Estonia, opened its doors to guests, but hidden within its walls was a secret communist radio center used to spy on visitors. This covert facility, now known as the KGB Museum, is located on the top floor of the hotel. Today, visitors can explore the preserved radio center, gaining insight into the espionage activities that took place during the Soviet era. The museum offers a unique glimpse into the Cold War history, with original equipment and artifacts still in place, providing a tangible connection to a time when surveillance was a hidden part of everyday life.
