Not having read the article yet, my first reaction is a gut one, which says the Georgians want nothing to do with Russia and even worthy monuments like this one have Soviet overtones (which to many is synonymous with Moscow, i.e. Russia). Seems silly and a little childish to me, but I'm not Georgian...

Now that I've read the article - I back what I said earlier and agree with what the Russian Foreign Ministry said about the demolition. Relocation was viable for Tallin (though it aggravated the Russians then, too) but destroying it for a spurious project that has already gotten an inglorious start - and I truly doubt will ever be completed - is absurdly childish.:mad:
