Soviet Tbilisi - From Propaganda to Execution
The tour lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes
Available in English and Russian
Description
Discover Soviet Tbilisi through history, architecture, and personal stories from someone who lived through the final years of the Soviet era.
This isn't just a history tour—it's an opportunity to understand what everyday life was really like behind the Iron Curtain. As we walk through the city, I'll combine historical facts with personal memories and stories passed down through generations, offering a perspective you won't find in history books.
We'll visit imposing Soviet buildings that still dominate Tbilisi's skyline, as well as places that bear the scars of the past, where bullet holes remain visible decades later. Along the way, you'll uncover how propaganda shaped daily life, why religion was suppressed, how censorship worked, and how ordinary people quietly resisted while living under constant surveillance.
From forbidden music and underground culture to official ideology and everyday routines, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the Soviet system and its lasting impact on Georgia. By the end of the walk, you'll not only know what happened—you'll understand how it felt to live through it and why its legacy can still be seen across Tbilisi today.
