Jiuli Sikmashvili is the tour guide that greats you when you enter the Stalin’s Underground Printing House Museum in Tbilisi. He’s also the Vice President of the Communist Party of Georgia.

A fervent admirer of the eponymous leader and the country’s communist past, he gives you the tour with the confidence and the zeal of someone exceptionally knowledgeable and invested in the topic.

Your tour includes the museum building and the wooden house behind it that hides the printing press below.

Stalin, as a young bolshevik, worked at the secret press churning out communist material in the early years of the pre-revolution 20th century. The press was discovered and destroyed only to be reopened as a museum in the 30s.
