Decision of the Day of the Soviet occupation, which took the Georgian Parliament, stirred up Runet. Most of the bloggers took this event as a manifestation of anti-Russian policy. In this article I propose look at the event with an open mind and try to understand what actually happened. Of course, the introduction of the Day of the Soviet occupation can not be called action, friendly to modern Russia and its leadership (and what kind of friendship can be, if all the broken relationship?) and it is possible that the move to Georgia will produce more negative effects than good, including the lower rating of Mikheil Saakashvili in Georgia, as part of the population Georgia and the first accused him of excessive aggravation of relations with Russia. And now about the motives of such an innovation. As you know, politicians have a habit of direct public opinion and consolidate it with the help of some shares.
Actually, it is their duty. In the same way in other countries impose certain holidays, transform them (as we have seen time and again in Russia), abolish, or, conversely, refuse to cancel. This was always hidden some political calculation. For example, to please the majority of the electorate, or send it to a certain point. What is the motive behind the introduction of the Day of the Soviet occupation of Georgia? As everybody remembers, in August 2008, Russia entered the war with Georgia. This conflict has led to Georgia's withdrawal from the CIS, it also led to the expulsion of Georgians from South Ossetia and the Kodori Gorge enclaves.
