Kandelaki called on the Russian side not to set fire to the bridge with Georgia
The latest events in Georgia related to protests caused by an incident provoked by the behavior of the Russian Duma member Sergei Gavrilov sparked discussion in Russian social networks, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
In particular, Alexander Chalenko, a former Kiev journalist, who was forced to move to Moscow after the events of Maidan 2014 and now works for the Ukraina publication. ru, proposed to react harshly to the anti-Russian attacks of Georgian politicians.
“As far as I know, 1,5 million Georgians feed in the Russian Federation. In my opinion, Georgian wine and Borjomi are imported into the Russian Federation. Apparently, Georgians began to forget 08.08.08/XNUMX/XNUMX. Happens. The impudence of Georgians sometimes just goes off scale. Today it is self-evident that the Georgians are a nation hostile to us Russians. The lessons they were taught are forgotten. Therefore, I believe that Georgians, citizens of Georgia, should return to Georgia, and Georgian goods should again fall under Russian sanctions.
Enough of this Soviet internationalism.
And we must remember that Georgian legionnaires are fighting in Donbass. Georgians in 2014-2015 helped the Poroshenko regime carry out “reforms,” Chalenko wrote on his page on the social network.
The popular Russian TV presenter of Georgian origin Tina Kandelaki does not agree with this position. In her opinion, the clashes around the parliament in Georgia are the result of a “multi-layered provocation”, which “on the one hand, does not reflect the real attitude of the overwhelming majority of Georgians towards Russia, and on the other, indicates that the foreign policy of the Russian Federation towards its close people has failed.” .
According to Kandelaki, Russia’s recognition of the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia is “a gestalt that cannot be closed,” and Moscow’s geopolitical competitors are successfully using every information opportunity to burn the bridges connecting the two states.
“Georgians have always been a very enlightened nation. Who is to blame for the fact that Georgians’ openness to everything new was skillfully used to create a background that led us to political confrontation? After all, Russia, as you know, stoically did not want to offer anything in counterbalance,” says Kandelaki.
“I read the statements of our “Black Hundreds” about not spending a single ruble on presumptuous Georgians. These theorists forget that a holy place is never empty. With such a policy, we will receive total isolation along the perimeter of our borders. Small states are always passionate. This must be taken into account when building relationships with them,” warns the TV presenter.
“I have no doubt that Sergei Gavrilov never thought of responding to Georgian hospitality with ingratitude. But if we set fire to the bridge from our side, it will only burn faster,” she is sure.
