These rooms were closed down by the Soviet government in the 1920's.  Some things were moved downstairs - mostly icons and smaller personal items.  Some of the furniture remained behind and was used in the recreation rooms that were used by the CHEKA here. Some of the furniture was dispersed to local party offices and the homes of party officials.  Other things were sold in Gostinny Dvor to the public, shipped abroad for sale or sold in state antique stores to foreigners.  I don't know what happened to the painting of Alice from upstairs.  I will look and see if Kuchumov marked in his notes to me where it went.  As you all know the picture of Alice from the downstairs went to Pavlovsk and is still there.
