Tomorrow, May 26, is Georgia’s Independence Day. Unlike the international community, we don’t see our state as “newly independent” after the USSR collapse. We are a “restored state” of the 1918-1921 republic. Rally at 7 PM at Vake Park, concert at the Presidential Palace at 9 PM.
These are the people that are against the Foreign Agents law in Georgia. https://t.co/uTjCDTxr8a
