| 0:00.0 | This is John Bachelor. Later on tonight, I speak with my friend, Michael Jan, who is in |
| 0:05.6 | Tbilisi, Georgia. Most interesting, Michael recounts his trip to Gory, Georgia, hometown |
| 0:12.5 | for a man named Zhu Gashvili, whom we know is Joseph Stalin. And Michael recounts, who |
| 0:20.5 | visited the museum the day he was there. In an interesting mix of nationalities, attending |
| 0:26.1 | a museum that is devoted to venerating Stalin, the Georgian son, who rose up to be the |
| 0:33.8 | master of the Soviet Union, and the man who not only led the conquest of Hitlerites, the |
| 0:42.0 | Varmak, but also launched the Cold War with his takeover of Berlin and East Germany, and |
| 0:50.2 | his challenge to the United States after the war, and an ally through the war, but after |
| 0:55.1 | the Cold War started when Joseph Stalin launched it. Is Michael on? Who is at the Gory Museum? |
| 1:02.3 | So, yeah, there was nothing derogatory at all towards Stalin there. Most of the tourists that |
| 1:08.7 | I saw there were either Chinese, they were speaking Mandarin. There were some Arabs. There's a |
| 1:13.8 | lot of Arabs here that come on vacation. There were quite a few Germans, and some others in |
| 1:20.0 | Spanish, I think, from Spain. It was quite a mix here. I'm not sure how many Georgians actually |
| 1:27.7 | go there. It might be like, is New World? I don't know. |
