Joseph Stalin may have been one of the world’s most bloodthirsty dictators but there is scant mention of this at a museum devoted to his life in his home town in Georgia.
The Stalin Museum in Gori, about 50 miles from Tbilisi, the capital of the Black Sea state, was opened in 1957 next to the small house where the Soviet tyrant was born Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili in 1878. The two-storey building is easy to find — just walk along Stalin Avenue to Stalin Park and you can’t miss it. Outside stands a Stalin statue.
This is just like a Trudeau museum curated by the CBC would be like.
