The glorification of Stalin and his empire and not evaluating it as unequivocally evil is an integral part of the propaganda of our current enemy, Putin's Russia, - said Giga Bokeria, the chairman of "European Georgia", thus responding to the "post" published by the chairman of the parliament, Shalva Papuashvili on "Facebook".

As Giga Bokeria points out, Stalin and the Russian Soviet Empire represented the greatest enemy and executioner of Georgia, Christianity and humanity in general.

"The glorification of Stalin and his empire and not unequivocally evil assessment is an integral part of the propaganda of our current enemy, Putin's Russia. We have a management team, one of whose leaders writes a thousand nonsense in his post and does not take a clear position on this issue.

Gharibashvili is proud of the fact that Stalin was Georgian, Ivanishvili says that we should take care of his memory, the Patriarchate, at least, does not take a clear position, and those who donated this icon to the church are openly Putinist politicians.

This icon was also sacrificed in this context, to glorify Stalin and not to portray him as evil. At the same time, even in the opposition, the leaders of "Lelo" and "National Movement" have not defined clear positions on this issue, and this is a very big problem," says Giga Bokeria.

For information, the Speaker of the Parliament stated that the hostile attacks on the Church are part of a concerted campaign, implying that national and religious values are incompatible with Western values. According to Papuashvili, the attack on the church is not only unfounded, but also counterproductive and harmful to the country.
