Iosif Vissarionovici Stalin (or Joseph Jugashvili Stalin on his behalf) was born in 1878, in Gori, in Georgia. As intelligent, so cruel, Stalin entered history as one of the most terrible dictators, and certain studies would show that tens of millions of people would have died. In this sense, there are voices claiming that Stalin would have made more victims than another sinister dictator who marked the history of the world, contemporary with him, Adolf Hitler.

“I managed to film inside although the guide forbade me and I spent half a day at the subtitle“, Wrote the author of the clip, Cosmin Bucur.

At Stalin Home, as in Romania “Golden Age”

The first images of the clip present images from Gori, a town that strikingly resembles Romania “Golden Age”.

“Gori, Georgia, a small town, dusty, poor and sad near Tbilisi. A Soviet city, lifeless, hides a man's hometown known by a whole world. Joseph Jugashvili, nicknamed Stalin, that is the steel man, due to his unwavering character. That from another perspective. monetizes as much as possible“, The author said.

Stalin's statue would be in front of the City Hall, until 2010. This although Georgia is an independent state today and even flirting with the idea of ​​becoming an EU member.

“Even after Georgia achieved independence, even after the shafts that the two countries, Russia and Georgia, had in the 2000s, even after the 2008 Russian-Georgian war, a war in which Russia invaded Georgia and reached Tbilisi. These photos were taken in Gori, in this city, when the Russians entered 2008”said the guide from the museum.

Although Stalin killed Gruzini, the elite of Gori seems to be forgiven all the sins and celebrates it today. In fact, the museum is the only reason for pride of the city, but also the only source of income. Even today there is here the street that bears its name.

“Stalin would have built the palace behind me with a precise purpose. But also with a coverage story. Officially to call the History Museum of Socialism. But, as you can see, he was thought from the beginning to be transformed into a museum of Stalin dedicated to him. A kind of cult of personality. It works to this day.“He says.

The heavy smell of Stalinism

A gloomy atmosphere, for the 50's, welcomed at the entrance, along with several packs of dogs. A typical Soviet atmosphere, of which the people of Bucharest still remember that there were in the capital until not many years ago, when the packs of dogs terrorized the world.

“From the beginning, from the entrance, a lot of dogs welcomes you. In fact, dog cohorts. I read this on a blog and laughed hard last night. This Soviet atmosphere hits you. Marble, a lot of marble and at the head of Stalin's statue. Everything is much colder here.“He added, before meeting the guide who carried it through the museum.

“What a gloomy it is. And it smells here. It smells of communism”said the Romanian, before the Tour guide draws his attention: “You can take pictures, but not videos. ” Obviously, the Romanian pretended to listen to her, but continued to film.

“The construction of this museum began in 1950 during Stalin's life. It should be a revolutionary museum. But after Stalin's death, after five years, in 1957, it began to be Stalin's museum. Let's tell you about Stalin's child. Stalin's father, Bessarion Juhashvili. Geladze, she was a tailor, also of Georgian nationality. The guide told her, among others.

From Stalin “the poet” to “the steel man”

Nicknamed the “steel man”, Stalin did not have mercy on others and stepped on the bodies, to reach as high as possible. And it has arrived. But his parents dreamed of having a completely different life, and his mother would have liked to see him a priest. This is how the young Stalin arrived at the Orthodox Seminary in Tbilisi, but did not resonate at all with the Christian teaching.

“Stalin composed poems in the Georgian language and was published by a famous local writer. At the same time, he began to read forbidden literature, such as Karl Marx's books, the founder of Marxism. And then he started to take part in revolutionary Bolshevik movements, so he was kicked out of the Orthodox Seminary.” In 1902 he was first arrested for revolutionary activities. Later, he was arrested 6 times, but managed to escape five times. He was a smart guy! ”, added the guide.

From here, they passed through the whole museum, including the train with which Stalin, who was afraid to fly, traveling almost everywhere.

In the end, the vlogger drew the conclusions. “Little Joseph actually turned into the second largest criminal in history, after Mao Zedong. Many approximate that between 16 and 50 million people died from his pen. It is very difficult to say an exact figure, the Communists have sisted. So that was our experience at the museum. Of course, the guide forgot to tell us about all his horrors, rather he focused on his personal life and told us so a few about the Georgians who fought against the Russians here, but not about the deportations in Gulag, about Stalin's hunger to Ukraine, about the assassins of 37 and 38. Killed thrown into common pits. But yes, what can you say? This is the only place that brings pride and money to the inhabitants of Gori, so, on the one hand, you can understand that it still idolizes a sinister dictator, a difficult criminal ”concluded the vlogger.
