Stalin's favourite spa resort and private bath! Was lucky to find it and allowed to enter!

The Georgian spa town of Tskaltubo used to be one of the finest in the entire Soviet Union. A city designed with the highest standards, most of the sanatoriums unfortunately collapsed along with the Soviet Union.

This bath is where Georgia-born Joseph Stalin, former communist leader of the Soviet Union, back in 1951 used to receive some health treatment. Walking into this room really felt like a step back in time! Amazing and unique experience.
