It is located in a building that was erected in the city center by the Soviets in 1971 to celebrate what would have been the 100th birthday of Lenin. Until 1991 it served as a museum commemorating the Red Latvian Riflemen, a military group formed in 1915 from the Imperial Russian Army to defend Latvia against the Germans.
