This book examines Joseph Stalin's increasing popularity in the
post-Soviet space, and analyzes how his image, and the nostalgia it
evokes, is manipulated and exploited for political gain. The author
argues that, in addition to the evil dictator and the Georgian
comrade, there is a third portrayal of Stalin-the one projected by
the generation that saw the tail end of the USSR, the post-Soviet
millennials. This book is not a biography of one of the most
controversial historical figures of the past century. Rather,
through a combination of sociopolitical commentary and
autobiographical elements that are uncommon in monographs of this
kind, the attempt is to explore how Joseph Stalin's complex
legacies and the conflicting cult of his irreconcilable tripartite
of personalities still loom over the region as a whole, including
Russia and, perhaps to an even deeper extent, Koba's native
land-now the independent Republic of Georgia, caught between its
unreconciled Soviet past and the potential future within the
European Union.
