The Museum of Soviet Occupation in Tbilisi offers an in-depth overview of Georgia’s history under Soviet rule, focusing on repression and the struggle for independence. The exhibition features documents, photographs, and videos covering the period from Georgia’s short-lived independence in 1918-1921 to Soviet repression and the eventual declaration of independence in 1991. Visitors can view interrogation protocols of dissidents, orders for deportation or execution, and personal files of victims of Soviet repression, as well as artifacts from Soviet-era prisons and archives of the KGB and Communist Party. However, the museum’s opening also caused controversy, especially in Russia, with Russian politicians condemning it as nationalist propaganda. Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his displeasure during a meeting with then Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili in 2006. Putin pointed out that many prominent Soviet leaders, such as Joseph Stalin and Lavrentiy Beria, were of Georgian origin. Saakashvili responded with a tongue-in-cheek offer to provide funds for a Museum of the Georgian Occupation in Moscow. Saakashvili later stated that the museum would not focus on Russia, but on the Soviet occupation of Georgia 😄.
The KGB desk in the Museum of Soviet Occupation in Tbilisi provides a haunting glimpse into the tools of oppression during the Soviet era. On the desk lies the personal file of Victim 3512, a tragic symbol of the thousands who were persecuted and monitored by the regime. Next to the file are an old-fashioned telephone and a desk lamp, both emblematic of the daily workings of Soviet bureaucracy and the KGB's control. Also noteworthy is the medal featuring the likeness of Vladimir Lenin, which serves as a reminder of the revolutionary leader and the ideology that underpinned Soviet policy. Together, these objects create a powerful representation of the repression and authority exercised during the Soviet period.
Het Museum van de Sovjetbezetting in Tbilisi biedt een diepgaand overzicht van Georgië's geschiedenis onder de Sovjetheerschappij, met een focus op repressie en de strijd voor onafhankelijkheid. De tentoonstelling bevat documenten, foto's en video's die de periode bestrijkt van de kortstondige onafhankelijkheid van Georgië in 1918-1921 tot de Sovjetonderdrukking en de uiteindelijke onafhankelijkheidsverklaring in 1991. Bezoekers kunnen ondervragingsprotocollen van dissidenten, bevelen tot deportatie of executie, en persoonlijke dossiers van slachtoffers van de Sovjetrepressie bekijken, naast artefacten uit gevangenissen van het Sovjettijdperk en archieven van de KGB en Communistische Partij. De opening van het museum veroorzaakte echter ook controverse, vooral in Rusland. Russische politici veroordeelden het als nationalistische propaganda. De Russische president Vladimir Poetin uitte zijn ongenoegen tijdens een ontmoeting met de toenmalige Georgische president Mikheil Saakasjvili in 2006. Poetin benadrukte dat veel prominente Sovjetleiders, zoals Jozef Stalin en Lavrentiy Beria, van Georgische afkomst waren. Saakasjvili reageerde hierop met een ironisch aanbod om fondsen te verstrekken voor een Museum van de Georgische Bezetting in Moskou. Later verklaarde Saakasjvili dat het museum zich niet richtte op Rusland, maar op de Sovjetbezetting van Georgië 😄.

A graphic depicts a column of water filled with deep-diving ocean predators: whale shark, Cuvier’s beaked whale, Chilean devil ray, northern elephant seal, great white shark and more. Lines depict how far each creature dives in the water, which grows progressively darker down the water column.
Almost every group of ocean-going vertebrate includes some species adapted for diving deep. Most visit the twilight zone, but many dive farther. Cuvier’s beaked whale holds the record for a mammal (2,992 meters). Whale sharks are the record-holding fish (1,928 meters).

Noble gases (rightmost column, red) are known for being chemically non-reactive and don’t naturally bond with other atoms to form molecules on Earth. But it’s a different story in space. In the last decade, astronomers have discovered two examples of chemical compounds made of the noble gases helium and argon in space.

Drawing of four torsos showing the position of lungs, heart, liver, stomach and spleen in normal bodies and ones with left-right abnormalities.
Sometimes an embryo gets its left-right signals crossed, and internal organs develop improperly. In the complete reversal known as situs inversus, organs like the stomach, heart, spleen and liver end up in mirror-image positions compared to the normal layout (known as situs solitus). And sometimes, the embryo ends up with two “right” or two “left” sides, a condition known as atrial isomerism, which can affect the structure of the heart, position of the liver, the number of spleens and the number of lobes in each lung, as well as other abnormalities. Whereas people can live perfectly healthily in cases of a complete reversal, the heart defects of atrial isomerism, particularly right atrial isomerism, can be severe.

A diagram shows how low body energy affects the intake of food.
Three different neural systems control the feeling of hunger and the intake of food. If the body is low on energy, AgRP neurons become active, which feels unpleasant and makes an animal seek out food. Food also creates positive feelings regardless of the body’s energy state, maintaining a desire to eat even if the body isn’t in energy deficit. And signals of satiety or nausea tell the brain that the animal isn’t hungry and cause it to stop eating.

A graphic shows an image of a plant on the left, surrounded by some of the environmental stresses that a plant may be exposed to. On the right is an image of a plant cell showing how the chloroplast and mitochondrion receive the stress signal and, in turn, send signals to the nucleus where genes are turned on and off in response. This enables the plant to adapt.
Plants must weather a multitude of changes in their environment. Chloroplasts play a crucial role in enabling plant cells to survive various stresses, such as drought, flood and infection.

A graphic depicts the different types of plastids: chloroplast, gerontoplast, chromoplast, amyloplast, elaioplast, etioplast and proplastid.
Plastids are a group of organelles found in the cells of plants, algae and some other small organisms. They come in different forms — each with its own specialized function —and can change identity to match the specific needs of a cell. For example: Amyloplasts store starch; elaioplasts store lipids; chromoplasts store pigments that give flowers and fruits their colors. Also shown are proplastids (immature plastids), etioplasts (chloroplasts before exposure to light) and gerontoplasts (which develop from chloroplasts as leaves decay).

Drawing of two mice. On the left is a normal mouse — in such animals, spleens grow to 80-160 mg. On the right is a mouse that had its spleen removed and then was transplanted with six spleen pieces. These grew to about 21 mg each, for a total of 126 mg.
An experiment in the 1960s showed that implanted mouse spleens can sense how much other spleen tissue is around and limit the size that they grow to. The result is a mouse with the right amount of spleen material. On the left is a mouse with a normal-sized spleen. On the right is a mouse whose own spleen was removed before transplantation with six pieces of spleen tissue.
