The Soviet Past Research Laboratory developed a new walking-educational tour in Kutaisi — a city that gave Georgia many of the founders of its First Republic, yet whose democratic history has been systematically erased by decades of Soviet rule.

The tour offers the public an opportunity to explore the suppressed and forgotten stories embedded in Kutaisi's streets, buildings, and public spaces — from the Soviet occupation of 1921 through the mass repressions of the 1930s.

The route traces the layers of totalitarian terror across the city, visiting sites such as the destroyed fraternal military cemetery of the Democratic Republic of Georgia, the Kutaisi Theatre where Bolshevik leaders clashed with the local public in the newly occupied city, Hotel London and the story of the Eligulashvili family, the former classical gymnasium whose alumni included key leaders of the First Republic erased from official memory, and the sites connected to the 1924 anti-Soviet uprising and the Great Terror of 1937–1938.

The tour brochure is available free of charge to teachers, guides, and anyone interested, in both Georgian and English.
