Georgians still have vivid memories and remember when the Soviet Union forcibly annexed Georgia.

--------------------------------------------------------------

HUH!!!??? rewriting history are we?

No I am not. This what the CIA say about the take over of Georgia by Stalin:

An excerpt -

"Subsequently, the Ottoman and Persian empires competed for influence in the region. Georgia was absorbed into the Russian Empire in the 19th century. Independent for three years (1918-1921) following the Russian revolution, it was forcibly incorporated into the USSR until the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991."
