⬛️ Its not a secret that I left Russia to live in Georgia. And in the last several days there is a big drama unfolding between these two countries. I wasnt too hurry to comment on this new wave of animosity between these countries. However before i explain further I must make something clear: Georgian people say that they do not hate Russian people, they hate Russian goverment, especially Russian president Putin. And Russian people do not hate Georgians. So what could have caused such a such a strong outcry from Georgian society that they went out to attack their own Parliament? It was an asshole responsible for whole thing. To be exact it was an ass of deputy of the Duma(Russian parliament) Sergei Gavrilov. This deputy had placed his ass into the wrong place - a seat of Georgian chairman of parliament, which offended all of the Georgians. If you dont know the relationship between countries for last 10 years you might say - What a big deal he just sat in wrong place?! Well there was a strong symbolysm in that act because for last 10 years Russia had occupied 20% of Georgian territory: Abhazia and South Osetia. The occupation happened because Georgians decided to change their politics and turn to the west. Funny thing is that Georgian goverment is pro-Russian, since Saakashvili lost in elections in 2013 Georgia has been ruled by Russian oligarch of georgian descent - Ivanishvili. And this is where the most "fun" part: Georgians don't like Russian goverment, but they keep voting for Russian oligarch. And all the Georgians I've met are more afraid of Turkey than Russia, despite the fact that they're at war with Russia not with Turkey. You might think that this doesnt make any sense. There's one thing that Putin understands very well -people afraid of freedom, especially ex-USSR people. When You(country leader) free people up and let them build businesses, create their own prosperity, decrease goverment interference with peoples lifes. The result will be - country becomes very rich, people create lots of things, but people dont really like you that much, you didnt do anything for them - they did everthing themselfs. But if you do the opposite: control everything, no independent business, no independent will, everything through goverment - in other words strong goverment. Result: country becomes poor, but people odore you, because You give them everything. Your ratings are high, you or you pupet is chosen in every election. We should change this injustice! We should adore people who give us freedom and hate people who enslave us. It's the only way to lead a great life. Take control. Georgians did it once, hopefully new generation of Georgians will steer country into direction of freedom again. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48727133
