Stalin’s Home Town

As you probably well know Joseph Stalin was a Georgian not Russian. He joined the socialist revolution in Georgia, became the high ranking leader and then supported the Russian revolution, met with Lenin And eventually became the number two in the Russian revolutionary movement. I took a tour to Gori where Stalin was born and raised. There you have a very nice USSR era museum in his honor. I recommend you visit Stalin’s Home Town. I found it fascinating and I think you will too.
