Half of the world is burning but there are angels among us😍 youtu.be/Ho1IEosZyyU?...

500 days of non-stop #GeorgiaProtests from my archive🇬🇪✊️❤️

"It's like April 10 never came, russia forces us to leave in permanent April 9", poet Zviad Ratiani, now regime's prisoner 37 years ago today, russian soldiers killed 21 Georgians, including 3 teenagers, and poisoned hundreds in #Tbilisi On the same day, 1991 #Georgia declared independence from SU

Cutest protest I've ever been to🥹 Protest against cruelty towards street dogs in #Georgia

We woke up to the hellish news of homeless dogs being rounded, taken away by force and apparently cremated, maybe even alive❗️ Violent goverments deal with everything with violence🤬 and they are lying about it A lot of people have been taking care of them for years at their own expense and now💔

I hope I'll see #Georgia this united again and soon🇬🇪❤️

Our Patriarch of nearly 50 years passed away at 93 We've been through a lot with him, includung churches reopening their doors after collapse of ussr and 2008 war, when he travelled to occupied territories to ensure that bodies of soldiers were returned to their families youtu.be/HoDRyhX-ABs?...

#Ukrainian soldiers in Abkhazia, Georgia, fighting on our side Ukraine sent ship to evacuate Georgian civilians, and helicopters to save wounded soldiers. Meawhile russia shot down plane full of civilians. These guys are now defending their home www.facebook.com/reel/1976478...

#Tbilisi on this day in 1990 when Lithuania declared restoration of independence from the USSR Happy independence to the first nation to do so🇱🇹❤️‍🩹🇬🇪

Traditional Saturday march and day 465 of #GeorgiaProtests Meanwhile, our so-called prime minister said we may soon leave Istanbul Convention Happy international women's day to us, I guess🤷‍♀️

Four years since russians couldn't take #Kyiv in three days Glory to Ukraine💛💙

As hard as our life is right now, there is a lot of love too, that is I'm in love with all these people😁😍 Saturday march and day 451 of #GeorgiaProtests

He was a #Georgian soldier and defended his country in 2008 8 years ago he was kidnapped, tortured and killed for it #russiaisaterroriststate

"I don't want my life to be fake like yours" This play was about "peaceful" life in the soviet Georgia in 70s, when men were sent to Vietnam war, and all young people thought about was escaping One of the actors was imprisoned. Yesteday his banner was removed from the facade youtu.be/b3_b_-9XLIE?...

From saturday's march cause what else would a Georgian citizen be doing on valentines day😀 #GeorgiaProtests day 400smth

Maybe the fact that EU didn't kill 60 million people? Also, sovereign? Really?

On this day in 1921, red army killed student and volunteer nurse along with other defenders of #Tbilisi Today posts about her are getting attacked by troll-bots. They are trying to rewrite soviet history, again❗️ She is considered national hero of #Georgia

It’s DAY 442 of daily #GeorgiaProtests Some people are in jail even for just standing on a sidewalk to protest. Closing the road is a very serious crime. Yet, we see that even when a tiny bit more anger is added to the baseline of daily protests, people act on it. 1/3 📷 @DroaParty

They are dragging us back into the soviet union, this time without the red army😐

'Hell' ➡️ ⚖️ Onise stands in front of civil court where his friend, a mucisian, is being sentenced to 2 days in prison for standing on the pavement during #GeorgiaProtests The whole country is hell when courtrooms are hell💔

How are people still confused about what russia is doing? Just how? #russiaisaterroriststate

It's a grim time in #Georgia & all the more remarkable that people step forward to reclaim the country's future, both across civil society and with Tavisuplebis Moedani / Freedom Square convening. Sensible focus on presenting a credible alternative & showing that country can do much better.

Sakartvelo, I refuse to let you die✊️🇬🇪❤️ Day 437 of #GeorgiaProtests

They must be protecting it... from exisiting 😡

Day 423 of #GeorgiaProtest

She stood alone in the street in moscow with a banner "putin is murderer" Meanwhile russian "refugees" in #Georgia tell us that they could not protests: "u don't know what its like" We know

#Tbilisi last night Nino was released from detention (for the second time) 24 hours before this. She was arrested for "artificially blocking" the road She has translated Dune into Georgian, among other things Her real crime is being educated and not easilly deceived by propaganda

Now I, too, know what it feels like to have a family member in prison for standing on the pavement..🙃 #GeorgiaProtests

#GeorgiaProtests on this day last year We keep protesting because authoritarian regimes' behaviour only ever gets worse, and they never leave on their own One of our so-called MPs already told us we should be grateful they didn't use bullets against us (as opposed to banned chemicals)

From Tbilisi to the murderous dictator One of participants fainted during this protest because he learned that his family member has been killed in Iran💔

Iranians in Tbilisi tonight How are we just watching...😔💔

Its been a year since the arrest of journalist Mzia Amaglobeli, yesterday's march was for her✊️❤️‍🩹 #GeorgiaProtests

"The important thing is that our goverment is fighting Deep State. It's important now that Deep State is not rebranded" #Georgian MP (that nobody voted for) Mariam Lashkhi Somebody send us psychiatrists, pls
