Your report somehow fails to mention that many of those arrested are Russian. A number of other respected news outlets are calling it a "Russian mafia gang", not a Georgian one.

You fool, they were'nt Russian, they where people from parts of the post Soviet states. Just like that man said, when Ukrainians or Georgians do something great in the Olympics or Eurovision, no one says that Russians did it, but when something like this happens: a mafia from Georgia or Ukraine gets busted, then everybody said they where Russian. Thats why everyone thinks of Russia so poorly. And you contribute to it, i am disgusted. In the west they say everyone is Russian, no matter whether Kazahkstanian, Latvian, Uzbekistanian, or Georgian, its all the same to them, and that respected news outlet of yours is Pro Western, so ofcourse they will say that.
