“Eat, drink and hang out” – those grieving in Georgia were shamed
Anti-Russian pogroms in Tbilisi are a continuation of Georgia’s Russophobic policy, which began long before the 2008 war and continued throughout the subsequent period even after the departure of Mikheil Saakashvili, but tourists from Russia preferred to turn a blind eye to insults to their country in order to “eat, drink and hang out.” "
Russian diplomat Nikolai Platoshkin writes about this on his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Let me remind you about the long-term support by the Georgian authorities for terrorists from the North Caucasus. Let me remind you about the shameful Bush Street in Tbilisi (Georgians, aren’t you ashamed?). Let me remind you about the museum of “Soviet occupation” in Tbilisi. Let me remind you about the barbaric destruction (explosion) of the monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War in Kutaisi. Let me remind you about Kikabidze, who threw the Soviet Order of Friendship of Peoples in our faces. Let me remind you about the vile murder of our peacekeeping soldiers on August 8.08.2008, XNUMX in Tskhinvali,” Platoshkin listed.
“They tell me - but not all Georgians are Russophobes. Maybe. It’s just that there are no demonstrations for friendship with Russia in Georgia. Only Georgians and Georgians elect only ardent Russophobes to the highest posts in the state. They just don’t close the shameful “Museum of Soviet Occupation” (note that this museum was founded in 2006, that is, BEFORE the Russian-Georgian war of 2008). Putin’s measures to stop tourism in Georgia are correct and long overdue,” the expert believes.
“I am only ashamed of the Russian citizens who traveled to Georgia before. They've been throwing mud at us there for decades - and we're chasing cheap khinkali. Well, yes, why do our “tourists” need blown up monuments or anti-Russian museums? If only the price-quality suits you. Eat, drink and hang out.
I have already written, but I will write again. In 2003, France did not support the entry of American troops into Iraq. And after that, the flow of American tourists to Paris fell significantly! McDonald's stopped selling fried potatoes because in English they were called "French fries". I had to urgently rename these potatoes “national”. This is patriotism, love for one's country.
And for our “tourists” - at least... drop some drops of God’s dew in their eyes. And without the president, they could have been offended for the country and given up their trips to Georgia. If only I had conscience and honor. If…” concluded Platoshkin.
