Why is there a statue of Joseph Stalin still standing in the Republic of Georgia?
Cacoethes Cognitum
The irrational yet irrestible urge to know or make known. The CC is a "club" founded by a small group of medical professionals, who have made a pastime of turning medical cases and discussions into medically irrelevant history lessons, philosophical rants, and displays of one-upsmanship. The official premise, since the "club" was named, has been to exchange and discuss various books, movies, and ideas. Sometimes we eat sushi.

It is in Gori, the birth place of Stalin. Here is a good little audio piece from NPR about the location of his body near the Kremlin.
Also, a link to the large version of your picture of the Stalin Statue in Georgia.
right as usual, I just thought this is probably the ONLY statue of Stalin still upright in the world.
