Fascism can only be defeated through coordinated progressive action.
The regions of the North Caucasus have once again ended up at the bottom of the nationwide income ranking. According to RIA Novosti, most republics in the district are in the lowest third when income is measured against the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services. Ingushetia is at the very bottom, Karachay-Cherkessia and Stavropol Krai are also among the outsiders, while Dagestan and Chechnya remain below the national average. Even the relatively better-off North Caucasus regions lag far behind Russia-wide indicators, as northern, resource-rich regions and major megacities dominate the top. The ranking once again highlights the chronic economic gap between the Caucasus and Russia’s more successful territories.

"Branch of Kremlin". Eternal shame belongs to those 84 MPs and their masters who betrayed the future of the Georgian people. I am sure Georgian Nightmare will end on October 26 elections! Meanwhile, resistance will be waiting at every corner, every minute!
What role do non-military, social-economic threats such as poverty and inequality played in undermining societal resilience and the security of the Georgian state?

⚡️ Oligarch’s prime-minister Irakli Kobakhidze has just made another ludicrous statement that one of the European commissioners threatened him with assassination (example of Slovakia’s Fico - who survived the assassination attempt- was given) during a telephone conversation.
11 year old Batradz Kabisov was the youngest victim of Zar tragedy, which happened #onthisday in 1992. A convoy of Ossetian refugees was most likely shot at by the members of the Georgian military units. More than 30 people died. A new Georgian gov’t must investigate this crime.
"Freemasons have an influence on politics, on everything..." 🕵️
In Tbilisi @lewis_goodall spoke to an MP from the governing Georgian Dream party. Its leader, the Prime Minister, blames the country's ills on 'the global war party' - a mysterious, multinational organisation. 🇬🇪
