The exposition can be viewed with a ticket to the National Museum of Georgia, this is part of it. In fact, the exhibits tell about the repressions under the Soviet government. There are similar museums in Russia (for example, the Varlam Shalamov Museum), and in Moldova, and in other post-Soviet countries. Here in Tbilisi, of course, the emphasis is on the Georgian context, on the history of local resistance, the national liberation movement, the number of people shot and deported from Georgia. It was interesting to learn more about the attempts of Georgians to create their own independent state after the 1917 revolution.

There is a completely strained opinion about the composition in the museum, it's not even a museum, it's an installation of what torture chambers would look like, some doors from the cells, documents about Georgia's independence (naturally, with the support of the ambassadors of England and France, everyone was eager for Baku oil). The description on the walls about the actions of counterrevolutionary figures. The proletarian slogans against the background of red banners and barbed wire are a mockery. Rambling copies of letters on the walls, prisoners' correspondence. There is no hesitation in talking about the help of Britain, Germany and France, about the work of their resentment in Georgia, unexpectedly approaching (jumping from the 1920s to the 1970s) the work of the resentment of Amnesty International and the United States, the coming to power of Gamsakhurdia. Then a video series about the conflict in Abkhazia. It looks crumpled, incoherent, perhaps for weak minds, and there is a wow effect. A thinking person will remain with mixed feelings. It is clear that there was a certain black page in the history of beautiful and beautiful Georgia, but everything is very incoherent, taken out of context.
