Iconic, Historic.
Imagine the discussions tonight in Kremlin.
Women's Day, Women's COURAGE against tyrans, dictators and rude persons everywhere!
Please.. She needs to be put into the history books! People around the world need to know her, what she is standing for!
Thousands of Georgians took to the streets of central Tbilisi after the parliament passed the first reading of a controversial "foreign agent" law that critics say will impact freedoms, laws similar to russian laws used to suppress it's citizens.

Even as the police spray her with a water cannon, she persists. Eventually, as others see her determination, they join in to literally support her. Iconic!
Editing to add:
The bill signed by the Georgian government is not unlike the DeSantis law that will require bloggers to register with the state government of Florida. Fascist Florida, which isn't a future threat. It's here now.

Translated from German
To see people there waving the EU flag, expressing their dream and hope that their country should be part of Europe, makes me very proud. It's a shame that many in Europe don't appreciate how lucky they actually are.

Zu sehen, dass Menschen dort die Flagge der EU schwenken und damit Ihren Traum und die Hoffnung ausdrücken, dass ihr Land Teil Europas sein soll, macht mich sehr stolz. Schade, dass es in Europa viele nicht zu würdigen wissen, welches Glück sie eigentlich haben.

(16,370 posts)5. I agree. And it's a shame we here don't realize how lucky we are
People want to live freely and some put their lives on the line for it.

Question.. Is Putin a modern day Tsarist?
The Russian seem to view 1917 the same way we view the Revolutionary War. The Tsars controlled everything. The magnificent palaces etc.. the money of the empire... Is not Putin doing the same thing? Does he not have multiple huge homes and the Oligarchs are legendary for their spending etc. I realize this is a different time and place, and the Russian populace are not treated as the populace was in 1917, but Putin is just throwing people and money at a war he started. I just wonder if they (the Russian populace) will finally stop supporting him..
