A Failed Artist, A Disillusioned Poet, An Underpaid Game Show Host. Top Story - January 2026.
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.

Majestic Mountains
Mountains are my happy place. Growing up in the country of Kyrgyzstan, where 93% of the land mass are mountains, I spent a lot of time in my childhood and youth climbing, hiking, and camping in the mountains. They were just always there, only about a 30-min drive from the city, as a natural background to my life. And as something that was always there, I took mountains for granted.

The Legend of Mikheil Khergiani
He was buried in a closed casket. When I asked his cousin's son, who was giving me a tour of Mikheil's house in Mestia, Svaneti, how the Italians had managed to retrieve his body, my guide replied honestly, "I don't know. I was five when he died. I don't think anyone knows, and I don't want to think about how badly his body was damaged. He plummeted from 600 meters of Mount Su-Alto in the Italian Alps. I do know it took days for his body to be retrieved. His funeral was almost three weeks after he died, hence the closed casket."
