Stalin’s hometown “destalinized”

Residents of Gori, the Georgian city where Joseph Stalin was born, awoke on Friday morning to discover the centrepiece of their main square, a six-metre bronze statue of the infamous soviet leader, had vanished.
Georgian democracy in action: We know the locals won't stand for it, so we'll sneak in at night and stop anyone from documenting our shady activities. It is ironic though: In addition to Georgian nationality, Saakashvili shares a number of characteristics with Stalin. They both came to power through revolution rather than by democratic means. They both later locked up former colleagues and friends detained for daring to disagree with them. Also, Saakashvili has been continuing what Stalin started: the extermination of Ossetians and other ethnic groups in Georgia. On the other hand, Stalin had a humble background and made no pretence about the draconian nature of his government. However, Saakashvili has had the benefit of an education as a lawyer in a modern democratic country and professes a desire for peace and democracy whilst simultaneously removing freedoms from his people and dispensing violence and injustice to those who speak out against him.
Georgia's famous son controled the USSR. They want to act like he is Russian. H'mm... how odd. I guess they want to rewrite their history. But the facts are the facts, Georgians deal with it, Stalin was one of you. A Georgian named Stalin lead the USSR. Stalin is the most famous son of Georgia. Removing his statue will not change this!
Its funny how they complain about Stalin yet want to keep territory incorporated in Georgia under Stalin’s rule.
Georgia should hang its head in shame, another attempt to cozy up with despots in suits thousands of miles away is an afront to the truth that was many millions of soviet men and women laying down there lives to defeat the Facist conquest of Europe.
The Georigans trying to steal things in the night, they are known for it! Well you can see what happens if there isn't a big policeman standing ready to stop them. The criminals succeed! I reckon the EU needs to immediately send a high power delegation to find out all the Gori details and say they support Stalin, they are behind him. It would be a monumental occasion. Rather like they were behind Georgia, standing shoulder to shoulder, saying we support Georgia killing Russian peacekeepers. EE YOU Russian killer, we suport you! That is what thay say in Brussels! And remember if they don't get you on the battlefield, then they may get you in a meeting with one of their terrorist invited friends. Georgian Whine, Shakeyourwilly's best export!
