In Tbilisi, a significant demonstration took place on Saturday, calling for severe consequences for a woman accused of vandalizing a religious icon portraying Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The recently-installed icon, located in the Georgian capital's primary Holy Trinity Cathedral, was reportedly defaced with paint by the suspect on Tuesday. This act of protest has laid bare profound divisions in Georgia concerning the legacy of the former Soviet dictator in his native land. Alt-Info, the pro-Russian ultra-conservative movement organised the protest.
