I stay in this house
Full of ghosts and broken hearts,
Still hoping that there
Is some way I can fix him,
And rebuild these crumbling walls.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
