Gruzija, Rusija i spomenik

[GerriDowson]

Hello! I am writing an article, need to know your opinion.

The demolition of a towering Soviet war memorial, to make way for a new parliament building, has already been condemned by Georgia's opposition and by Russia. Russia said it was "sacrilege" and accused Georgia of pursuing a "manic drive to erase the historical memory of its own people." Some 300,000 Georgians were killed while fighting in the Soviet army during World War Two.
The Georgian government has carried out an act of state vandalism, insulting the feelings of any civilized person…

there are no civilized people either on balkan or caucasus, so there are no civilized people to insult.

Well... generaly speaking, there is a wide-spread tendency across eastern Europe to negate (at all costs) any historical heritage with anti-fascist movement.

Although it's a deplorable and tragic tendency, it is relatively understanable if one knows all the aspects of the local history and politics and understands the context in which history nas developed in a particular country.

The same goes for Georgia as it goes for Croatia, for example.
