When Putin met with Saakashvili he said “Thanks for giving us Stalin.”
I wasn’t invited to witness it and I have no idea how does it proves a Georgian democracy.
If Putin has really told it we just have two stalinists in both Russia and Georgia.
At the same time most Russians, except a few senile senior whiskers, dislike Stalin.
In contrast, a lot of Georgians are proud with him, as any tiny nation who has famous person like that.
