What do you think about Georgian Genocide by Russia in 1990s?

[Anonymous]

Do you know that years before Ukraine was attacked by Russia, It was Georgia 🇬🇪 Abkhazia attacked by Russia and the whole province was wiped out of all Georgians?

They (Russian soldiers) cut heads of people and played football.
They made mothers force eat their killed children’s eyes.
They fed people to pigs,

They cut people into half alive.

Georgia is a forgotten victim of Russia.

Tbh, it’s what Russia has done for ages, read about the Finns, Estonians etc. Mass deportations and genocide are part and parcel of life in or close to the Russian Empire.

I know, they have been doing the same in Georgia for the past 300 years. That’s why, all of Eastern Europeans hate Russia, as well as Northern Europeans.

[RebelinSteel]

Yep, it’s their default approach, it’s why it was not a surprise they moved everyone out of Mariupol in Ukraine.

[Daniela1982]

Anyone remember when Russia purged its own officer corps? Plenty of mass graves out there.

You can't be serious. Sounds like fairy tales to frighten children. The more outlandish the better.

"The full-scale war erupted after days of escalating skirmishes in the region and months of heightened tensions over the Russian-backed breakaway territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It emerged from years of political estrangement between the Georgians and Ossetians and historical grievances that date back centuries.

"The short war, which lasted for around five days, killed more than 200 soldiers and more than 300 civilians and displaced thousands. Following the war, Russia formally recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states and substantially expanded its military footprint in both territories."

Calling that "genocide" makes a mockery of the word genocide? Compare it to what Israel is doing to Palestinians.

[Asker]

I am unfortunately serious…

I am glad that you have had a wonderful life in which such stories sound like fairytales…

[Asker]

I am not talking about the short war.

The genocide took a place in Abkhazia in 90s. Tens of thousands of Georgians were killed and forced out of Abkhazia.

We can’t be friends if it’s so difficult for you to face the fact that Russia indeed did the GENOCIDE in Abkhazia.

[Asker]

Please, read the information about the war of Abkhazia.

[Lliam]

Okay. I found something about it.

"The Kremlin supported Abkhazia’s demands and tensions soared into what became the deadliest post-Soviet era conflict, which began in August 1992 and lasted for about a year, between ethnic Georgians in Abkhazia and separatist Abkhaz and Russian forces.
"According to an unpublished report by Georgia’s prosecutor’s office, the conflict killed about 5,738 people.

More than 200,000 people, mostly ethnic Georgians, were displaced and they continue to live outside the region."

Still, I compare that to 33,000 Gazans (70% of them women and children) murdered by Israel, and over 1 million displaced in the past 6 months. Not to mention blocking all food, potable water, medical supplies, energy, and shelter. But people still refuse to call that genocide.

Aww what a sad story, I hope you have enough butthurt cream for your Georgian ass:(

[Asker]

Now that you are so interested in my ass, you might as well bring your own cream and rub on my ass. Love full body massages

[Anonymous]

And then Russians complain about Russophobia

[DryGermanGuy]

It’s what the Russians and then the Soviets have been doing all their existence. Most of the other cultures forced into their empire never wanted to belong to them. Georgia is on a long line of victims, with Ukraine being the latest one. There is hope however. If Ukraine punches Russia into the ground long enough, they might lose so much men and materiel that Georgia and Moldova might also break free from occupation.

[Asker]

I hope so… 🥹

[DryGermanGuy]

The Russian „peacekeeper“ troops in Armenia and Aserbaidschan just left. No doubt they will be thrown into the Ukraine war.

[Veles]

From "Ukraine will win" to "if Ukraine punches Russia into the ground long enough.” What happened to your victory flag:(

[DryGermanGuy]

I have answered this before: Ukraine already won for the simple fact that they turned the advertised three-days-special-military-operation into a three year war. The question for the Russians is, for how many years of pain and suffering are they willing to pay in blood and billions of Rubles to realize how pointless it is? In Afghanistan it took them ten years.

[Still-alive]

yes i have heard of this and many other genocides in our history. its unfortunately not that uncommon for human beings to do to one another. and its still ongoing even today.

You are a strong woman, you have been through much it seems.

its a shame some of the users here have decided to attack you over this. ill report them for their shameful behavior.

[Asker]

Thank you 💖

I don’t usually like talking about my past or the difficulties I’ve been through.

I’d rather people see me as a careless person instead of someone to pity as a victim.

But I like to share about Georgia’s past, to shed light to a more hidden part of Russia’s evil expansionist politics. Sadly, nobody talks about Georgia, while world always talks about Ukraine and etc.

[Asker]

That girl is Russian I think.

And some of them are famous of being proud of their country’s gruesome acts.

[Still-alive]

it seems to hide much, i would never have guessed. mass respect to you miss.

[Still-alive]

that veles chick especially is ultra right wing. im surprised she hasn't been banned yet.

[Asker]

Thanks 😊

I am not blocking her, her words speak for a type of person she is and users can judge by themselves.

She has been commenting some xenophobic things ever since she heard I am Georgian.

Last time told me, my date downgraded because he dated Russians before and now he’s dating a Georgian. :) I feel pity.

For a person who spreads this much hatred online, she must have something wrong going on in her life.

[Still-alive]

yeah you'd think huh? lol. i think she's had previous accounts too cause she seemed to know me way back when that account was new. guess she has nothing better to do lol

[Starrrboy]

Well , I know they have done that a lot.. what they did to the circassians and what they did in Chechnya comes to mind.. I didn't know that even Georgia had it too !.. no wonder Europe hates Russia.. they have so many victims! .. Russians are so cold , they even tortured and killed their own people throughout history.. and they win most wars because they're ready to sacrifice as many men as it takes.. human life means very little to them..

[CALIGVLA]

I think nothing. I don't like Eastern Europeans because they have that perpetual victim mindset and can't grow out of it. They resemble the worst kind of woke black activists here in the US, who are always crying and complaining that "tHeY sO oPPweSSeD bY dA eViL wYPiPo."

Always rage baiting, always lying, always exaggerating. I have zero patience with crybullies.

[OtterMan68]

Putin won't stop if he wins at Ukraine.

He didn't stop after Georgia.

He didn't stop after the first invasion of Ukraine.

If he wins this time, he'll be on to Moldova

[strateguy632]

false "Abkhazia attacked by Russia. the whole province was not wiped out of all Georgians".

you refer to atrocity. but not all atrocity are genocide

[Asker]

Excuse me? I don’t know which Russian propaganda you’ve been feeding on, but Abkhazian war definitely a war between Russia and Georgia for Abkhazia.

Now Abkhazia is almost empty of Georgians, they were either killed or forced to leave. That is genocide and is classified as genocide. There are multiple Documentaries you can watch on this topic.

[KrakenAttackin]

This is what Russian Orcs do. I trained in the 90's to kill Orcs but never got the chance.

[RavVid]

I was thinking of when Russia attacked earlier today. I didn't know of those atrocities though.

Wordless.

[jshm2]

Nah, every country has a genocide somewhere. Even Ukraine has a genocide or two on it's hands.

[Anonymous]

It is a shame Georgia could not negotiate a mutual defense deal with a more powerful country like these untied States before Joining NATO.

[Asker]

We negotiated joining NATO in 2007 and Germany and France voted against it and in 2008 Russia attacked us again, resulting in further occupation of our lands and further victims of August war, 2008.

[Asker]

I had a slight PTSD for years, thinking every plane was carrying a bomb sent by Russia and was scared of looking up.

[Opinion Owner]

@lafemmefatale_1 Joining NATO has always been hit or miss and time consuming.

That is why you first negotiate a mutual defense treaty with a powerful ally like these untied States, the UK, or even France. This can be done without Russia's knowledge until its too late. After its done, if it is done with a major NATO member. Other NATO members suddenly have less to lose by admitting you. Finland did this with the UK.

Georgia in 2007 may not have known Russia would do this and can be forgiven but Ukraine had Georgia's example.

[jahaims]

Same as any genocide. It's terrible and has happened throughout time and will continue to happen.

[AngryCarl]

I don't really know anything about it. There wasn't much coverage of the conflict in the West. To put it another way, Georgia isn't important to the West.

[loveslongnails]

Same way I think about any genocide, at any time.

[Unit1]

That's unsurprisingly the most typical things the Russian invaders do 🙄

[goebenbreslau]

we need a real leader for the American government to stop putin.

[In_Trance]

I wish people would realize there is nothing new. Everything is recycled

[Asker]

Easy to say when it’s not your people getting through genocide, isn’t it?

[In_Trance]

If you shut off mass media and stayed off of social media would you ever know? Would it matter? How does it affect daily life when you take those elements away?

[handsomelad70]

Russia is no stranger to genocide as victim or perpetrator.

[RedInnocent69]

Genocide sucks.

[butterly248]

Sad.
