The Museum of Occupation is a part of the National Museum of Georgia, located on its top floor. There was a lot of information on a lot of plates, explications and posters of different sizes - it was hard to navigate. It seems better to go with a guide who can explain everything and keep up the pace. In general, it is interesting, but, from the point of view of the museum space, it is not very new. A similar exhibit, for example, was made at the Gulag Museum in Moscow. I did not like the second tier of this exhibition: it is located under the ceiling, consists only of texts with a very small translation into English. It was almost impossible to read it in the semi-darkness, for which I take a point.

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.

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.

Once, in the historical museum in Moscow, I watched two Germans who cringed as they passed through the expositions of defeated fascism, so in this museum of the Soviet occupation you feel like a German. The problem is that I don't consider myself an occupier. It's not good to turn everything inside out here.
I don't recommend going to the Russians, the sediment remains.
Hurtful.

I did not consider the accoupation, although I remember some dubious hall with skulls, I did not even know that this was the accoupation museum, I was looking for Tsereteli's paintings, I looked around the apple to take pictures in the courtyard of the museum.

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.

LIFE HAS BECOME BETTER, LIFE HAS BECOME MORE FUN. I. V. STALIN
It's a great poster, great text, and most importantly, it was written by a wonderful local man. There was a commandant's office in this building under the USSR, the commandant was Lieutenant Colonel Nadybaidze, also from the local area. At the time of these people, there were goods and products in Georgia that were not available in the central part of the USSR. Now here is a museum in memory of those times.

It is a very correct place, it must be known, understood and remembered. The exposition is done very well, emotionally and informatively. Do not miss the balcony, there are documents, historical evidence, the fate of people. I'm from Russia, from Moscow.

Russians who have illusions about the sanctity of the Soviet regime should definitely visit this place! The ticket price in rubles is about 800 rubles. Be prepared that the entire exposition is in Georgian and English. Learn international!

It is a very important place to look at such a phenomenon as the USSR through the eyes of a people who did not aspire to it.
It is a pity that the exposition is small — this topic deserves more reflection and it is difficult to fit everything into one room

A wonderful museum, you can see for yourself by looking at reviews from Russian citizens of this museum here in Yandex, who say that everything is a lie and a fake, and history has been rewritten 😂
And what needs to be done? That's right, read the archival documents that never lie and which are abundantly presented in this museum 👌🏼

Interesting facts about the USSR, the NKVD, the MGB. A person should know all sides of history, both good and bad, and we draw our own conclusions.

It is very one - sided and focused on one goal - to denigrate the USSR . Meanwhile, Georgia lived better under the USSR than many Russian regions

A small exhibition in the National Museum tells about the Sovietization of Georgia, about the struggle for Georgia's independence during this period.
Russian Russian is OK, but for sure many Russian tourists can't read it in English.

Those who are ready to accept such information will like it. There are a lot of distortions in my opinion. Georgia received a lot of preferences in the Soviet years, unlike the regions of Russia.

This is not a museum, but an exhibition at the National Museum of Georgia.
Of course, I didn't learn a lot of new things. What we call repression, they call occupation. However, maybe this is an occupation in our country.
A very cozy table of the NKVD official, at which you just want to start a case or sign a firing list.
