Stalin's crap

World-renowned asshole Josef Stalin was born in Gori, Georgia. We checked in at the ridiculous museum he dedicated to himself just as an English tour group was starting. The museum is kept mostly as it was during the soviet era, because it is itself a historical exhibit of a soviet museum. And what would you expect to find on display in a soviet museum? If you said, 'copies of documents,' you were right.


From humble beginnings...

To an enormous shrine! Stalin's birth-house is now protected inside a gigantic marble temple.

The museum's interior:

Funny caption contest!

Stalin's bedazzled accordion:

Stalin's death mask:

...and his bullet-proof train car, which somehow managed to be even more boring than the rest of the museum:

  1. Things that are bullet proof are only cool in theory. Unless you are witness while someone is shooting at it a bullet proof train is no cooler than a bullet proof accordion or a bullet proof plan to invade Europe with nuclear missile equipped Eukranoplanes.


    Actually Eukranoplanes are pretty badass...
