In fact, it is a separate thematic two-tiered hall on the 4th floor of the National Museum. It is a shame that such an important topic as the "best manifestations" of the punitive Soviet machine, which went through all the cities and towns of the Union, is shown so haphazardly and incoherently using the example of Georgia. There is logic in the chronology of the exposition, but that's it. Russian Russians, Jews, and Others are missing the clear and obvious message "a country in which a Georgian shot a Georgian, a Russian shot a Russian, a Jew shot a Jew, and further down the list, and then all of each other, cannot have a future," which is replaced in places by the presence of some terrible external enemy in the face of the entire USSR, except the Georgian SSR. But as a reminder that in the Soviet Union they laid down a high bell tower on any national identity, and each Republic was essentially just a colony, from which any resources were siphoned off to please the "center" - it is certainly useful. However, episodes like Ordzhonikidze's mysterious death under the rule of his former friend Dzhugashvili are not mentioned at all, nor the role of Beria and Dzhugashvili in the formation of the firing squad, which killed hundreds of thousands and millions everywhere - and Georgia, unfortunately, did not escape this fate either - although it would seem to be dirty and bloody. This is directly related to the inside of the "Soviet country".

It was hard to come up with a bigger lie. Under the USSR, Georgia was the most dated republic, received 4 times more money from the budget than it earned, and rolled like cheese in butter at the expense of Russians. There was a steady saying "if a Georgian means rich" despite the fact that the entire Georgian industry existed on raw materials from the RSFSR. Under the Soviet Union, Georgians were treated with respect, and Georgia responded ungratefully. This is a museum for liberals, liars, the shame of Russia in 2022 and those who talk about the USSR without having lived a day in it. The first and last time I came to Georgia, the presence of this museum is a spit in the direction of all Russians.
