2019 Georgian Protests
The 2019 protests in Georgia, also known as Gavrilov's Night ( ka, გავრილოვის ღამე), refers to a series of anti-government and snap election-demanding protests in the country of Georgia. History The protests began on 20 June 2019 in front of the Parliament of Georgia and were launched after Sergei Gavrilov, a Communist Party member of the Russian Duma who was visiting through the Interparliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy, sat in a chair reserved by protocol for the Head of Parliament. He delivered a speech in Russian extolling the Orthodox brotherhood of Georgia and Russia. Earlier in his career, Gavrilov had voted in favor of the independence of Abkhazia. Since the Russian recognition of Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 2008 and its military occupation of both regions since, the relations between the two countries remained tense. Gavrilov's actions on 20 June were perceived by the Georgian public as denigrating to Georgian sovere ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1956 Georgian Demonstrations
The March 1956 demonstrations (also known as the 1956 Tbilisi riots or 9 March massacre) in the Georgian SSR were a series of protests against Nikita Khrushchev's de-Stalinization policy, which shocked Georgian supporters of Stalinist ideology. The center of the protests was the republic's capital, Tbilisi, where spontaneous rallies to mark the third anniversary of Stalin's death and to protest Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin quickly evolved into an uncontrollable mass demonstration and rioting which paralyzed the city. Soon, political demands such as the change of the central government in Moscow and calls for the independence of Georgia from the Soviet Union appeared. The local Georgian authorities, confused and demoralized, passed on the responsibility to the Soviet military. Later on 9 March the troops deployed in the city opened fire upon the students picketing the government buildings in what the official Soviet version held was "an act of self-defense".Kozlov, Vla ...
