Public phone


Such public telephones were used all over the Soviet Union in the past but nowadays you won't find them even in Russia. However, I have seen them still operating in Transnistria (Moldova) before and now, surprisingly, also in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Stalin in Gori






The Georgian town Gori is the birthplace of Joseph Stalin. It's probably the only city in the World where one can find several monuments devoted to him. Besides the giant Stalin outside the Town Hall there are a few smaller monuments around the city. Even the main street is called Stalin avenue.
