While many people see Stalin as one of the worst dictators of the 20th century, the Stalin Museum in Gori gives a different picture.
But there is not even an indication at what cost these achievements were accomplished. Those who played a crucial role in his life, but who for some reason or another didn't fit in with him anymore, are simply left out. After the museum, the guide showed me the original birth house of Stalin, and even the bed in which he was born. To preserve the house, the Georgians built a temple-like structure around it. On the other side of the museum is his railway carriage in which he always travelled, since he was afraid of flying. We went inside, and the interior was surprisingly well preserved.
