Traveling with Stalin, a photo from Shida Kartli, East

Photographer's Note

The most famous and important man in recent history born in Georgia, is undoubtedly Iosif Stalin, Russian politician and protagonist of the history of the early part of the twentieth century. The city where he was born retains much of his story. Still you can see the house where he was born, there is a large museum, but also the carriage of his private train with which he moved, being very intimidated by the air flight. The main photo shows the carriage from the outside. In WS you can see the Soviet logo on the carriage, the bathroom and the meeting room in the train.

IN VIAGGIO CON STALIN

L'uomo più famoso ed importante della storia recente nato in Georgia, è senza dubbio Iosif Stalin,uomo politico russo e protagonista della storia della prima parte del ventesimo secolo. La città in cui è nato conserva molto della sua storia. Ancora è possibile vedere la casa in cui è nato, c'è un grande museo, ma anche la carrozza del suo treno privato con cui si spostava, essendo molto intimorito dal volo aereo. La foto principale mostra la carrozza dall'esterno. Nei WS potete vedere lo stemma sovietico, il bagno e la sala riunioni che si trova all'interno.

Hello Luciano,
Alright, which one of them is Stalin? Oh, I see, they are going in to join Stalin. Nice view of this historic railroad car. I like the photo with the Soviet logo, too.
Regards,
MT

Bonjour, cher Luciano,
Une voiture à remonter le temps et voir les grands dignitaires de profiter des avantages considérables par rapport au peuple !
Une page d'histoire à travers cette voiture des chemins de fer.
Très belles présentations.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Luciano,
Unbelievable that such a killer is still considered as a hero by some people in Georgia. I remember the guide in the museum who spoke fervently about Stalin's life but mentioned no word of all his crimes. Fortunately, young Georgians thought very differently about this man.
I've also entered this wagon. Not a very luxurious life living in it, I think.
Yet a place in everyone's program during a visit to Georgia.
Good inclusion of both visitors.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Luciano,
Nice view of this old train wagon, an important element from the past. Well, it's interesting to see and learn about any dictator's life to be aware of the new ones. Actually, I guess Stalin is the number one criminal in history...

Ciao Luciano
una figura politica difficile da dimenticare, ha fatto la storia.
Per questa città è sicuramente un'attrazione molto forte, ottima condivisione, non credo di aver mai visto qualcosa di simile.
Buona giornata Carlo

Witaj Luciano!
Very interesting carrige, interesting note.
Good frame, colors and light.
Well done.
Nice day.
Krzysztof

holmertz (102672) 2017-09-26 1:51

Hello Luciano,
I was here too and wondered about the personality cult of Stalin still so strong in Georgia. It's a very schizophrenic situation. In Gori there was all praise for the hero and nothing about the crimes of the Soviet Union and its ruling party. In Tbilisi there is a museum about the crimes committed in Georgia by the Soviet Union and its ruling party but nothing saying that the worst criminal of them all was the Georgian hero ;-).
It's a nice photo and the two persons provide the necessary human touch.
Kind regards,
Gert

snunney (130967) 2017-09-26 1:57

Hello Luciano,
Strange to think a 'strongman' like Stalin had a fear of flying. The carriage, whose colours are echoed by the surrounding greenery, is well placed in the frame. Fine capture with very good lights and colours and excellent sharpness.

Royaldevon (85932) 2017-09-26 2:05

Ciao Caro Luciano,

I was intrigued to know about this train and the location. Stalin was a complicated man and driven by his own philosophies. He really had a lot a lot to answer for regarding the neglect of large parts of the country and brutal imprisonments. Enough said!

But it must have been very interesting to explore where he was born and elements of his daily life. You have shown us a very well angled view of his train carriage and added human interest with the figures boarding.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

pierrefonds (114422) 2017-09-26 4:56

Bonjour Luciano,

La présence des personnes a un effet d'échelle de grandeur. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du wagon. La lumière donne de belles teintes aux couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Pierre

jhm (211736) 2017-09-26 5:52

Ciao Luciano,

Your three additional picture are a very well detail of the train interior.
We get a wonderful detailed picture, perfect sharp and clear.
An excellent composition en lovely presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Sergiom (117241) 2017-09-26 6:52

Ciao Luciano,

Un wagon de train qui a beaucoup d'histoire et surtout d'histoires à raconter. J'ai comme l'impression qu'on ne peut plus que le visiter et non voyager dedans. Dommage.

Amicalement

Serge

Silvio1953 (221563) 2017-09-26 7:09

Ciao Luciano, gran bello il trenino, grazie per avercrlo fatto vedere così nene dentro e fuori, ha trasportato uno dei più grandi fetenti della storia, ma mica è colpa sua, in tutte le foto ottima nitidezza e magnifici dettagli, bravo, ciao Silvio

Cricri (176) 2017-09-26 8:11

Ciao Luciano
Bel angle de prise de ce vieux wagon du dictateur Stalin
Intéressante vue de l'intérieur bien présenter en WS,
trois belles images
belle soirée
cricri

ikeharel (113319) 2017-09-26 10:02

Buona sera Luciano,
I certainly agree to the first sentence in your note, and for sure Georgians are proud to keep his memory alive.
The green famous wagon, view to its length, and the WS's well shown.
Arrivederci,
Ike

macjake (98454) 2017-09-26 11:15

Hi Luciano
ah yes, Mr Stalin - what a nice man haha...not!
cool subject material, otherwise it would just be another train, but this one is quite special. there's something quite attractive about the color or the stain on it, i like its look. and I like your choice of compo on the side angle. sweet. cheers for the WS photos too
Craig

Hello Luciano,
Great photo of this train, with such an interesting role in modern history. The carriage fits very well into this composition and creates a nicely diagonal in the middle of the photo. The two people are well included too.
Lars

rychem (72187) 2017-09-26 21:58

It is a sad monument, in the picture we can see that this wagon was not so luxurious. If it was luxury how poor were ordinary people?
A very interesting post
regards Ryszard

ChrisJ (171822) 2017-09-26 22:45

Hello Luciano,

Looks like this green rail carriage isn't going anywhere in the near future. I like the tapering perspective from left to right. The people add scale. Good sharpness too. Tfs!

danos (110407) 2017-09-27 0:51

Ciao Luciano,
nice the view of the carriage of his private train that was used to travel.The two WS complete perfect the whole scenery about it.

Regards,Danos

sacimar (38173) 2017-09-27 5:40

Ciao Luciano,

this is a place with history, good image with the old carriage and the two tourists trying to get inside, it must be an interesting place to visit, well seen,

Best regards,

Sergio

Ciao Luciano I like to watch historic old trains on You Tube and once I saw Hitler's private train, in and out. So I enjoy very much this old celebrity you show today with great mastery. Ciao

alvaraalto (42804) 2017-09-27 15:12

Hello Luciano
Interesting picture and corresponding note. It is remarkable that this great dictator still has some honour in his birth-region. But of course, looking at the history is always interesting.
Groet Rob

LuisGustavoLima (5184) 2017-09-27 15:18

Oi, Luciano!

Boas cores, luz e nitidez. O assunto tratado é interessante e a nota muito explicativa. A moldura das janelas contrastam com a cor do trem. Não sabia que o Stalin era georgiano.
Bela foto!

adramad (72978) 2017-09-28 11:22

Hi, Luciano.
Sensational both this image and WS. which are an exponent that documents a part of the history of this character, the train wagon is very well located in the shadow of those large trees.
A pretty colorful, powering image.
Magnificent management of brightness and sharpness, to enjoy with the details.
Well seen and fulfilled. I like it.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

lucasgalodoido (27698) 2017-09-28 12:27

Olá Luciano,
curiosa essa história na nota, e gostei da captura do velho vagão também, felizmente preservado. Belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço,
Lucas

gervaso (28177) 2017-09-29 4:39

Hello, Luciano!

Beautiful green train captured with very good light and perspective! The people, especially the man by the door, give more dynamism to the scene! Wonderful composition!

Periko (9107) 2017-09-29 21:07

Hi Luciano
La foto está bien, pero es mejor la nota. Es increíble que un hombre como Stalin tuviese miedo de viajar en avión.
Las fotos complementarias son interesantes, pues muestran que no era ostentoso.

Salidos

emka (158128) 2017-09-30 12:28

Hello Luciano, The museum in Gori was one of the things that most people are visiting but I didn't like to go there.
Interesting carriage of Iosif Vissarionovich.

Have a nice Sunday

mkamionka (74375) 2017-10-01 12:59

Ciao Luciano,
that is kind of funny to realize that such a strong personality was afraid of flying.
The photo of this train seems so simple at first but of course the story behind it gives it so much interest. Great reportage and such an original subject.
Very well done,
M

PiotrF (54636) 2017-10-05 12:55

Hello Luciano,
I also visited this place.A great series of photos showing this wagon train.Thank you for informative note.

Miguel82 (47110) 2020-06-17 11:27

Luciano, it is a rewarding visit to learn about Stalin's history. The museum exhibits the coach he used to travel in the country. The visitors can discover its interior. Fine colors, good sharpness, interesting photo note, regards.
