New Law in Georgia
The police foresee people who may intend to commit crimes in the future. Based on this foresight technique, they have the right to detain people, even if the 'future criminals' have not committed anything yet.
As UT alum, I remember Morozov telling students how Russia promised great things, but settled Russians from Estonia in the middle of nowhere.
I also remember him asking if the west can really prove anything in Scripal poisoning. Typical Russian yes-that's-terrible-but
Today marks 15 years since the Russian occupants set fire to the car of the Georgian Policemen on the Eredvi-Kheiti bypass road controlled by Georgia, resulting in five of them being seriously injured.
A week before the Georgian side officially joined the war, the occupying forces were already engaged in active military operations.

@bachodze@ISirbiladze Exactly! And if GD heads do believe that, even to some extent, then that speaks volumes about their int'l collection capabilities

We call on each and every partner, friend and ally of #Georgia and supporter of its nascent democracy to do their utmost in order to stop this draft from ever becoming law. This is a watershed moment that could lead to irreversible democratic backsliding.

So, Lysenkoism justifies it? Aargh, what the fuck?
It is so easy to be on the right side of this issue in Geo bc we don't have to imagine Stalinist horrors, we can just remember. This flirtation w/ communism among the educated youth puzzles me. It's not acceptable!
It’s amazing how as soon as you do a little digging on these people, who decry the term “Stalinist”, you find evidence of them whitewashing Stalin’s mass murder of Ukrainians. It’s beyond parody, but there is nothing funny about it. It is pure, unadulterated evil.
The perfect case of the East-West EU moral divide regarding Gorbachev comes from Vilnius blood bath he ordered in 1991.
Mikhail Golovatov, KGB officer responsible for 13 murders in Vilnius was arrested on an EU arrest warrant 20 years later by Austrian border police. 1/2
🇺🇦 Damaged Russian military equipment has been put on display in the centre of Kyiv ahead of Ukraine's Independence Day, footage released by the Ministry of Defence shows.

One unusual case of sheltering IDPs raises questions about property rights in Tbilisi, Georgia. The fate of a hillside in the capital reflects Georgia’s unruly social and economic developments over the past three decades.

There was a shift in thinking about parliamentary groups in the XIX c. no longer seen as 'factions' but as legitimate opposition (Katz & Mair 2018). Sadly, the opposition is increasingly seen as the enemy today. #WorldParliamentDay
1/3 Students at Tbilisi State University who were handing out flyers for July 3 rally, were verbally and physically abused. One of the attackers is Nikoloz Melikishvili, whose FB states that he works for the Tbilisi City Hall & @GeorgianDream41.
We will never give up, because Donbas and Crimea are our land, just as Abkhazia and South Ossetia are yours. If anyone wants to forget it, we will remind them. WE ARE WITH YOU! Glory to #Georgia, #Ukraine! — @ZelenskyyUa addressed Georgian people at the pro-EU rally in #Tbilisi.
I'm so happy for 🇺🇦&🇲🇩! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart! At last! 🇪🇺
Dear GeoGov't, we are ashamed and we are determined! we'll get there too, no thanks to you!
On 1 December 2013, 500,000 outraged Ukrainians came out to central Kyiv.
This was no longer about an 🇪🇺🇺🇦 trade deal. It was about a desire for justice, dignity& a demand for change. A rebellion against authoritarianism and an aversity to the USSR 2.0 Putin was resurrecting👇
After #Bucha massacre was revealed, GD govt’s shameful silence was louder than Russian bombs in #Ukraine, so we decided to build kindergarten & school there. Please donate, as more resources are needed to make it happen👉TBC: GE09TB7735636080100012

In a day, Europe found itself thrust into the largest land war since World War II in the name of a responsibility to protect persecuted minorities https://t.co/DuKbCT1Efh
