[KavkazUzel] Employees of the Russian Interests Section in Georgia removed the memorial to Alexei Navalny in Tbilisi. Activists managed to move some of the candles, notes and flowers to the Pushkin monument.
As the Caucasian Knot wrote, dozens of people came to the Russian interests section at the Swiss Embassy in Tbilisi on March 1 to lay flowers and light candles in memory of Alexei Navalny on the day of his funeral. Since the death of Navalny, a memorial to the opposition politician has been located near the building.
On February 16, Alexei Navalny died in a colony after, according to a statement from the Federal Penitentiary Service, his condition sharply worsened. Residents of Russian cities, including in the south of the country, were persecuted for attempting to lay flowers in memory of Navalny at memorials to victims of political repression. Information about rallies in memory of Alexei Navalny, which are held in the south of Russia and in the countries of the South Caucasus, as well as the reaction of security forces to these actions, was collected by the "Caucasian Knot" in the information " Actions in memory of Alexei Navalny in the Caucasus "
Employees of the Russian interests section in Georgia today liquidated the memorial to Alexei Navalny, as follows from videos published on social networks.
Activists, while three men were collecting flowers in garbage bags, tried to save the most valuable things - notes, candles, in order to move them to another place, Paper Kartuli reported today in its Telegram channel.
The man who was dismantling the memorial called it "trash." Activists filmed what was happening on video, as follows from the video.
One of the activists trying to preserve part of the memorial asked the employee if he was sleeping well. “We’ve grieved and that’s enough. How long will you keep the flowers here?” - he replied, as follows from another video.
Russian opposition activists carried photographs, candles and notes in memory of Navalny to the Pushkin monument in the center of Tbilisi, the Georgia News agency reported today. Collected at the monument are notes, portraits, and flowers that were rescued from the destroyed Navalny memorial near the Russian interests section.
