I just came across your channel through recommendations. The topics you make your videos about are far from mainstream. Your editing and scripting is as good as a documentary I'd watch on tv or the bigger names. Hope that your channel gets big and you get the recognition for the efforts you put in making these videos. Love and respect from India

I met a lot of people who had left everything they owned behind to flee those regions. It's really tragic that people lost so much. But many of them seemed to hold out hope that they might be able to return home some day. It's kind of crazy that it's not often in the news; we heard so much about Crimea, Lugansk, etc., in the UK, but much less about Georgia. Maybe if more people knew about it, more would be done to help resolve the situation.

I don't quite agree with these midget countries which just create unnecessary noise, they are just made fertile ground for foreign provocations like Georgia has been subverted by the US for its imperialistic skullduggery against Russia. These small countries are better part of bigger countries, they are better off as regions

How about the war atrocities committed by Georgia

@TieranFreedman

2 жыл бұрын

Any atrocities committed in war should be condemned. Most reports have concluded that you can't blame one side alone for these conflicts, and that both committed war crimes. In the Abkhazia war, for example, thousands of Abkhaz and Georgian civilians were reported killed or missing. But do keep in mind that ethnic cleansing was carried out by Russian-backed separatists against Georgian people, with hundreds of thousands of ethnic Georgians being expelled from Abkhazia and Ossetia; many of these people are still living in temporary IDP housing today.

which atrocities?! There are numerous unbiased sources you can read about the conflict and none of them mention atrocities committed by Georgia because Georgians were the ones subject to ethnic cleansing in this conflict. For starters, you can read the ruling of International Criminal Court about the war crimes committed by Russia in 2008 and a number of decisions made by European Court of Human Rights, also UN and OSCE resolutions.

My friend south ossetia is wrong name correct is samachablo✓✓✓✓

Iranians in the Caucasus and Georgian language speakers in Abkhazia are where tensions arise. Ethnic Georgians get in Abkhazian's business just like Iranians get in the business of the whole of the Caucasus. I think the lesson is -- if you live in a place that has established it's identity do not think you are priviledged and don't have to learn. I moved to Russian Kabarda and must know the Russian language but I am not Russian. Russia invaded Kabarda with a decree. Did Georgia do the same and think it would be overlooked?

@TieranFreedman

2 жыл бұрын

There is incredible diversity in the populations and cultures in the Caucasus, and learning about them was one of my favourite things about visiting the region; I suppose the mountains have separated different populations for so long that distinct identities arose very close to each other because the terrain cut them off, and allowed them to thrive in isolation. I certainly agree that you should learn about the place you move to. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't draw attention to ethnic cleansing and the forceful expulsion of hundreds of thousands of people by Russian-backed separatists.

@@TieranFreedman I did not support the Russian backed actions against the Georgian population in Abkhazia just like I don't support the current Moscow regime holding on to Circassia thinking the initial invasion was started because of a union of Kabarda with Russia. Circassia is a real place, like Abkhazia, like Georgia, and like any respectful Caucasian nation caught in a flux because of intolerance. I am sorry to say the Georgian trick in 1991 did not work to their benefit like they hoped.

Yeah they had a big element of that, too. Are you referring to the protests in the US? These ones were kind of a mix between protesting against Russian occupation as well as the heavy-handed handling of previous protests by the police there. It was amazing to see people from so many different backgrounds and generations taking to the streets. It's a shame some of the politicians they were protesting against later won more power...

The are an exact copy of the 2014 Maidan Coup Riots that overthrew the democraticly elected government. This is a US/EU funded minority, who are trying to overthrow the democratically elected Georgian Government. You only see them because western media never covers the LARGER protests that support he ELECTED government.

Abkhazia/St Ossetia HAVE NEVER been a part of Georgia. You INCORECTLY call them "Seperatists" when they HAVE NEVER been part of a Georgian nation. In both Wars since the fall of the USSR it was GEORGIANS who attacked and invaded the smaller Abkhazian/St Ossetian communities. The 2008 War was started when the NATO armed and trained Gerorgian army drove tanks into Sth Ossetia and started shelling residential buildings in the middle of the night killing dozen of civilians. The "displaced" people are Georgian colonialist from the larger more populated Gerogia during the Soviet era. If you complain about Russian colonists in the Baltic States then you are a hypocrite if you dont recognise that Georgians are the expansionist colonists of Abkhazia/Sth Ossetia. Also Abkhazia defeated Gerorgia in the wars of the 90s WITHOUT Russian help. Russia only intervened under UN diplomatic pressure and when the Georgians were already defeated militarily. Russia intervened in 2008 because they were legally obliged to by the treaty that Gerogia signed in 1993. Georgia broke that treaty when they invaded Sth Ossetia. GEorgia killed three Russian peacekeepers and were using their NATO provided tanks against unarmed civilians. Even the EU who are an outright ally of Georgia blamed Georgia for starting the 2008 war.
