From February 11–14, 1945, the Yalta Conference took place in the neighbouring Livadia Palace between the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. During the time, the Vorontsovsky Palace served as the residence of Winston Churchill and the British delegation to the conference.
In 1965, the Vorontsovsky Palace was once again reinstated as a museum, on the order of the Soviet government. Two years later, the museum was changed to incorporate architectural and art exhibits, and in 1965, was named the Alupka palace-museum complex.
The territory of the palace and neighbouring park were commonly used as sets for movies, like "Nebesnye lastochki", and "Zhenitba figaro."
