May 26, 2008 Protest in Washington, DC
On May 26, 2008, the 90th anniversary of Georgia's Independence Day, the Georgian-American community and friends of Georgia gathered in front of the Russian Embassy in Washington DC to support Georgia's Independence and protest Russia's ongoing aggressive policies towards Georgia. Bolshevik Russia ended Georgia's short-lived independence in 1921. Seventy years of Communist propaganda could not crush the desire of Georgia's people to restore Georgian independence. In 1991 Georgia seceded from the Soviet Union and declared its pro-Western orientation. Russia's response is policy of aggression and intimidation.
