Gori – Stalin’s Home Town

One of my road projects is improving the East-West highway in   Georgia which runs from Azerbaijan through Tbilisi to the Black Sea. I had to do a field visit as part of our mid-term review of the project. After finishing our meetings we headed just west of our project to the city of Gori to visit the museum of its most famous son—Joseph Stalin, commemorated below with a statue outside of the City Hall.
