Man of Steel

Gori seems just too appropriate a name for Stalin’s birthplace. But bad old Stalin is still revered here as a local boy made ‘good’. His huge statue stares out across Stalin square which leads up Stalin avenue to Stalin museum in front of which his original home is enclosed in a poor looking temple. We got a ‘light side of the moon’ tour of the place in a company of two nice Spanish girls and an Italian fascist who came to see the museum of the ‘great’ statesman with his kebab eating pit-bull dog.
