Ten years ago there was a war

Ten years ago, I was an ordinary schoolboy, well, almost. On television news he followed the five-day Russian-Georgian war of 2008. And he thought: “How is it, after all, after all, the bloodthirsty Georgians, what they do, huh?” And seven years later I got to Georgia. Like everyone who arrived for the first time, I was handed a bottle of Saperavi. Our guide in Tbilisi joked: “Well, the comrades of the invaders, this is the National Museum of Georgia, one of its departments Russian propaganda called the“ museum of the occupation ”.” In the town of Basaleti MN , the mountains were shown, at which in 2008 Russian tanks that were traveling in Tbilisi stopped. Since then, I do not know a single person who was in Georgia and remained indifferent to this country. I was there twice and always admired hospitality.

I was surprised how religious people were there: in Tbilisi, they stopped on the street in front of the church and would be baptized - in Russia I only saw this a couple of times. But they have something to hate us, but Georgians do not extend their anger to ordinary people. In that same “Museum of the occupation” there is a composition of the wall of the Stolypinsky tag car, which is riddled with bullets. So under the USSR in crowds, the Georgian-opposites of Bolshevism were shot in crowds-they drove people into the wagon under the eyeballs and the line from the machine gun, and the rebellious Yaroslavls in 1918 were also killed in civilian. And in the main hall there are names and names of all repressed Georgians - nobles, priests, and intelligentsia along the walls there in several tiers. In a separate room on the large screen shows the footage of the 2008 war.
