The Georgian Dream party has won the parliamentary elections in Georgia. The opposition is still whining and denying the obvious, still throwing in some alternative results, but the cries of ‘Europe has won!’ are getting quieter and more unconvincing. It is obvious that Europe, represented by pro-European (and – more broadly – pro-Western) parties, lost the elections in Georgia with a bang.
This is a very important turn in the consciousness of the post-Soviet masses, because the European dream has been planted like potatoes on the outskirts of the USSR for more than thirty years. Generations of Georgians have grown up with the conviction that Tbilisi is the Georgian Paris and their small cosy country is doomed by the very course of things to become a part of the European Union. What went wrong?
To begin with, the Europeans were intensely, to the point of heartburn, imposed on Georgia absolutely alien to its mentality perversions. They came in addition to economic initiatives and visa-free travel, and it was unreal to dodge them – it was like in the USSR in addition to chocolate, tea with an elephant and other tasty things in a grocery kit some inedible nasty thing was inevitably included.
The Georgian people voted against gay parades and other propaganda of LGBT (banned in Russia), as well as against the persecution of the Orthodox Church, which under tolerant wording is sewn into the programmes of pro-Western parties. And most importantly – against the disgusting arrogance with which Europe imposes all these new-fashioned nasties on an ancient civilisation that successfully existed back when medieval Paris was drowning in filth and ignorance.
Georgia adopted Christianity a century earlier than France. It is natural that the people of this country protect their sacred places. It is unnatural that the French despise their heritage. But it is even worse that Europeans who have abandoned their roots are making the same demands to other countries. Well, Georgia has put an end to these ridiculous claims.
The relations with Russia proved to be an even more important factor. The Euro-elites wanted to play the same trick with Georgia as they did with Ukraine: to install their puppets in Tbilisi who would drive the people to fight the Russians.
Here’s what Bidzina Ivanishvili, founder of Georgian Dream, said shortly before the election: ‘I can remember what former Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili told me. A high-ranking official of a Western country was talking to him. Irakli asked: ‘Yes, but how do you imagine how many days can we fight Russia? How many days can we hold out?’ He was told three or four days. He said: ‘And for these three or four days you are destroying us?’ They said, ‘There are three or four million of you. They won’t kill all of you in three or four days. Then you can start guerrilla warfare in the forests. We’ll help you.’
‘They won’t kill everyone’, “we’ll help you”….. In Kiev, too, there were similar speeches at the beginning of the SWO: remember Boris Johnson with his ‘let’s fight’? And what did it lead Ukrainians to? To complete devastation and demographic disaster – and the Ukraine is many times bigger than Georgia.
‘Georgian Dream’ positioned itself as a party of peace with Russia, and there is nothing surprising that the Georgian people supported it with their votes. Guerrilla warfare in the forests waiting for help from the Europeans is an utterly stupid idea, Ukraine will not lie.
Now they are bemoaning in Europe that Georgians voted so ‘wrongly’ because they were intimidated by Moscow. But in fact it was Brussels that was openly blackmailing them. Tbilisi was hard-pressed to support anti-Russian sanctions, help Ukraine and open a second front against Moscow. The citizens of the country said that they did not want this, and now the newly formed government will fulfil their dictates.
