Gori

Reiseguide

View of a staircase inside of the Stalin Museum in Gori, Georgia.

Gori is a relatively small town located about 80 kilometers from Tbilisi.

Joseph Stalin (his last name is a play on the Russian word for "steel" - his real last name was the Georgian surname of Jugashvili) was born and raised in Gori, and this museum houses both the small boarding house he was born in, and his train car.

It's certainly worth a visit if you're in Georgia.  Price is 10 GEL for a ticket - and they have english speaking tour guides available.

I'll let you make up your own mind about the politics of the place, but I will say that the tour had some laugh out loud understatements like: "Stalin and the Soviet mades some mistakes, such as the forced collectivization of agriculture in Ukraine."

I would bet Germans would probably be the most interested - if you've ever been to Germany you'd understand what I mean.

The bathroom of Stalin's railroad car.  A visit to the Joseph Stalin Museum in Gori, Georgia also includes a tour of Stalin's old railway car.

Stalin was terrified of flying, and apparently went everywhere he needed to go in a bulletproof train.

This is the train that Stalin took to a whole host of conferences during World War II.
#architecture Joseph Stalin's boyhood home.  View from the Joseph Stalin Museum in the city of Gori, Georgia.

Joseph Stalin, former leader of the USSR, was born in raised in a small town called Gori, Georgia.

The picture here is of his the small home where he spent his formative years.  Although the rest of that neighborhood was demolished, his home was saved, and entombed in a structure to protect it from the elements.  

When you visit the museum, you can peek your head and look into the small bedroom where he was raised by his mother Kete and his alcoholic father who once repeatedly beat him so hard he urinated blood for a week.

While the staff were friendly and helpful, the key thing “hot water” didn’t work in the shower or vanity. The water was slightly off being cold. There were no shower caps supplied. When I asked for milk for tea & coffee they supplied it.
