Wow that Red Star (isn't it a politically incorrect name?) looks very fast with that paint scheme! Front single rear 3 (?) speed hmmmmmm I have only been to the bike museum in Siauliai in Lithuania where most racing bikes were from the West I recall. There were some cool recumbents though!

For those inter war period and other old big and black bike fans try the bike museum in Saulkrasti, North of Riga. This private museum has a great selection of bikes made in Latvia and loads of gorgeously restored gems. Many old head badges too
