Murderer's museum
The Stalin Museum is a museum in Gori, Georgia dedicated to the life of Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili alias Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, the infamous Soviet dictator and mass murderer, who was born here. The museum retains its Soviet-era characteristics and was officially dedicated to Stalin in 1957 - I could not find any mention of the crimes, atrocities or horrors committed during Stalin's rule.
The complex of the museum includes the memorial house (on the photo) where the devil was born, his carriage, and a two-storey exhibition building. The exhibits are divided into six halls in roughly chronological order, and contain many items actually or allegedly owned by Stalin, including some of his office furniture, his personal effects, and gifts made to him over the years. The museum nowadays also has a separate room devoted to the period of repressions, which has existed since 2010.
About Gori, which offered nothing interesting. The reason is that the town was destroyed in the 1920 earthquake, and almost completely rebuilt in the Soviet period. An important industrial center in Soviet times, Gori suffered from an economic collapse and the outflow of the population during the years of a post-Soviet crisis of the 1990s.
