Soviet Tbilisi From Propaganda to Executions
Overview
Meet your guide and begin your journey through the remnants of Soviet Tbilisi. Visit imposing Soviet buildings, government offices, and residential blocks that still echo with the weight of history. See some buildings that even bear the scars of past violence, marked by bullet holes that were never repaired.
Hear personal stories — some passed down quietly, others lived directly — about control, censorship, resistance, and the small joys people held onto despite it all. From state-imposed silence to forbidden music, from public loyalty to private fears, explore both the visible and invisible layers of life under the regime.
These seemingly ordinary spaces conceal unsettling stories — quiet reminders of a difficult past that still lingers beneath the surface.
