Gori - Stalin Museum

The Joseph Stalin Museum is a museum in Gori, Georgia.

 

The house in which Stalin was born in 1878 and spent his first four years.

 

The Museum 'began in 1951 ostensibly as a local history museum, but clearly intended to become a memorial to Stalin, who died in 1953. 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. There is also much illustration by way of documentation, photographs, paintings and newspaper articles. The display concludes with one of twelve copies of the death mask of Stalin taken shortly after his death' - wiki

 

Plans have been made to see the Stalin museum be reorganized into the Museum of Russian Aggression in the future.

A banner at the entrance to the museum states: "This museum is a falsification of history. It is a typical example of Soviet propaganda and it attempts to legitimise the bloodiest regime in history."
