"20 DecemberToday is Secret Policeman's Day. The Cheka-OGPU-NKVD-KGB-FSB have been at it for 86 years. On the television news this is the lead item. How awful. The tone of the report is very dispassionate, as if millions of lives had not been sacrificed to this blood-soaked service. What else can we expect in a country whose leader openly admits that, even while in the post of President, he

Nobody Cares for Teens, do you want to join instead pro or contra groups of something stupid? Soon New Year and then our Christmas is coming. I wish to hear that Georgian teens, which are imprisoned in South Ossetia, are realized. This wish is so strong, that all others are somewhere in waiting list. I was thinking yesterday how to help these families. How is it to have new year and Christmas

In Moscow officials have really 'great' ideas! One of them is kicking out people from their own land. Having that in mind, also history with Berlin Wall and resent developments, I find it amazing this new one: if roads of Moscow are not secure enough for minorities, sexual minorities, why they wont go all to walk on streets of Berlin? :) There is much nicer. Russia wants back! Back to You and You

Human tragedy is horrible everywhere, even if it happens to a country which is enemy to yours. Russia blog describes what has happened and I am very sorry for suffering people. There is one thing though I don't agree with the author (I don't know if it is private person or some gov' department). Blog asks to US to join Russia soon against fighting those terrorists, while "Both Russia and the U.S.

Since I posted one little tiny article "Georgian teens are detained. Are we looking for a solution?", my blog receives abusive comments in Russian language with some weird links ending with .ru Links are titled in very abusive way and makes even a crime, so I wont mention them here.

Georgian teens were detained on November 4th in Ckhinvali. EU made some statement, Saakashvili did too, but as it looks like, South Ossetian separatist government isn't going to let teens go back home to their parents. So does Georgian government have any strategy to achieve something in this matter? Is there anybody working on this issue? From one side our actions must be very careful, as Russia

No, not on twitter, but in real mentality. Some days back I twitted the news, that in Russia one police officer has been sacked after exposing corruption among his senior colleagues in an audacious homemade video blog posted on YouTube. In Georgia people work against those, who disturb 'peace' too. This time against two young students, who made fun of Head of Georgian Church Ilia II. Police

CBC has presented very interesting documentary about The fall of Berlin wall. Some days back there was also nice discussion in TVO about the same issue.

I've seen only photos of Anna Politkovskaya on net, but never live speaking. In this video about Putin's media war, you get a chance to see her. She speaks about how she was poisoned on her way to Beslan and how she couldn't make it there. Nobody mentioned, but on same time in Beslan was Georgian journalist Nana. She got chance to speak with parents and make her reportage from the place, where

President Saakashvili speaks at the UN general assembly about occupation of Georgia from Russia. He compares division of Georgia with divided Germany with Berlin wall. Saakashvili shows big hope, that at the end passionate, disciplined, energetic people will win and all artificial walls will be destroyed. He says, that Georgian people are united and have clear vision and goal. I liked, that he

Today I read in Macleans two articles about Georgia. I loved irony of first one:"Everyone can agree that there was a war in South Ossetia a year ago, but no one can agree on who started it."Than it talks about, how Europe desided that Georgia was also not clean. It's actually understandable and very simply: Russia brakes law, EU should declare crime as such and then there must follow some kind of

Recently (August 2009) Amnesty International published a report about the Georgia-Russia conflict and about human suffer all behind. It was difficult for me to read about mass in my country. Especially knowing that situation is even worse than 45 page can describe. Not one, but thousands are facing tragical consequences of this war.The report talk about Displacement of people.

If we are humans, where's our human kindness?Yesterday I read an article about Beso, 25 years old Georgian soldier. He was sent to Ckhinvali from Georgian government without clearly knowing that he have to fight war ... without comments, without map, without any plan. Beso was taken in hostage from Ossetian Separatists. Main reason why they got him was, that he didn't know are this guys his

This week I read very interesting article about The Kremlin's troubles in the Caucasus. The article describes shortly situation in the north and also in south Caucasus. From Daghestan Adalo, who is against Russia ruling them, says: "Here in the Caucasus, the train has also left the station for the Russians." Even though Russia has problems in Ingushetia, Daghestan, Chechnya, I wonder what gives

I saved it to be published on 6th August Unfortunately there is no time to remember anything as Russian Army is still on Georgian soil occupying more and more territories:Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of GeorgiaBased on the report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, on 2 August 2009 Russian occupants

I find this film 'Repentance' revolutionary. The movie was made in Georgia in 1984. It's about human rights, justice and freedom ... which didn't exist. The film was banned in the Soviet Union.Many people see in main personage soviet hero Lavrenti Beria, but I think the film is not only about him, but also about whole regime and against all kind of dictatorship.Here's a 5 minute preview of a 2

Politician do many things which can't be described as right thing. They promise their voters everything and are able to do little.

I seldom make a post only to link to an article, but this time I do, because it's so important. Once you do something, there is no turn back, that's why we have to think. Georgian proverb says to measure 10 times and cut once. And Georgians used to say too, that you can't heal the broken glass. And by the way, peace is second theme all of us remember on Sufra.

Georgia send the song "We Don't Wanna Put In" to Evrovision 2009. You know, after Russian army entered Georgian soil in August 2008, Georgian people were not in mood of any musical competition, but our musicians made a song and they wanted to present it on a stage in Moscow. Sure, most will understand what is behind the lyric such: No Put in ... shut in, but the song itself is not directly

Russian News are quickly responding to the event in Tbilisi. For them Saakashvili is unacceptable candidate for presidency of Georgia from the very beginning, because of his west-looking politics.You probably remember war in August between Russia and Georgia about South Ossetia (De Jure Part of Georgia). Russia declared the separatist regions: South Ossetia and Abkhazia as an independent country.

Georgi Friedman wrote book about the world in next 100 years. In the book he is talking about the US, Japan, Russia, China and some other countries and possible events. In his interview with Steve Paikin Friedman mentions Georgia too. The Book must be very interesting.Here you can watch the interview from yesterday on TVO:
