The cozy interior of Stalin's dacha in Abkhazia





Photographer John Sakellarakis offers a look at Stalin's summer residence, built in 1947 on the shore of a mountain lake Ritsa in Abkhazia. The cottage consists of a living room, three bedrooms, a huge library, a game hall with a pool table and a separate house for protection. The design is simple, as was performed in accordance with a modest taste of Stalin.
