Tbilisi - Thieves broke into a museum in Josef Stalin's native Georgian town of Gori and stole a samovar the Soviet dictator used to make tea in the Kremlin, the Georgian authorities said yesterday.
An Interior Ministry spokesman said the thieves had broken into the museum through a window on Wednesday night.
The samovar was one of the two most valuable exhibits in Gori, 65 km from the capital Tbilisi.
