Gori is a relatively small town located about 80 kilometers from Tbilisi. Joseph Stalin (his last name is a play on the Russian word for "steel" - his real last name was the Georgian surname of Jugashvili) was born and raised in Gori, and this museum houses both the small boarding house he was born in, and his train car. It's certainly worth a visit if you're in Georgia. Price is 10 GEL for a ticket - and they have english speaking tour guides available. I'll let you make up your own mind about the politics of the place, but I will say that the tour had some laugh out loud understatements like: "Stalin and the Soviet mades some mistakes, such as the forced collectivization of agriculture in Ukraine." I would bet Germans would probably be the most interested - if you've ever been to Germany you'd understand what I mean. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6205046/1afc96e4-a605-4852-b4d4-e2c4dd5f00da.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![#architecture Joseph Stalin's boyhood home.

Although the rest of that neighborhood was demolished, his home was saved, and entombed in a structure to protect it from the elements. When you visit the museum, you can peek your head and look into the small bedroom where he was raised by his mother Kete and his alcoholic father who once repeatedly beat him so hard he urinated blood for a week.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6205046/b8d6bcf1-353e-450b-9590-650f6cae12ea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Gori Things to do - Gori Hotel Deals - Vacation Rentals in Gori ![Gori Apartments](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92620000/92614000/92613997/e5d3e348_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Gori Apartments Petre Bagrationi #74 Gori Shida Kartli $47 nightly $55 total Mar 26 - Mar 27 Total with taxes and fees Stay at this aparthotel in Gori.
