🔎 Architectural sights of Tbilisi: The building of the trust "Gruzugol".
It is an administrative building built in 1953 by architects Chkheidze and Chkhikvadze. The building is located at the end of Rustaveli Avenue, house 52.
🧑🔬 Currently, the building belongs to the Academy of Sciences of Georgia. The office of the Union of Cinematographers of Georgia is also located here.
👀 The architectural style of the building is eclectic. In the balconies of the building on the main facade the influence of the Moorish style is clearly felt. A decorative, practically unused tower 55 meters high was built, which used to be topped with a star.
📍 The building of the Academy of Sciences of Georgia with a high tower in the classical Stalinist style, is the architectural dominant of Rustaveli Avenue.
🛍 On the steps under the colonnade of the main facade (from the side of Rustaveli Avenue) there is a souvenir shop every day, and in the courtyard there is an old station of the capital's cable car that leads to Mtatsminda.

🇬🇪⚽️ The best footballer of Georgia in 2022 is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
One of the talented Georgian players made an amazing breakthrough in his career and established himself as the leader of the national team. His current club, Napoli, leads the Italian championship, performs enchantingly in the Champions League, and Kvara, as his fans call him, plays bright and productive football. In Georgia, they adore this modest and calm guy. So the sympathy of the audience and the jury this time coincided.

🐮 Cows were spotted yesterday in the very center of Tbilisi
Cows in Tbilisi are not rarity, but yesterday the animals were noticed almost in the center of the city! They walked in Saburtalo and even in the underpass at the Heroes' Square!
Have they come for gifts for the New Year? 😅

🙈 The Georgian Parliament will discuss the law on "foreign agents" and fakes in the media.
Several deputies who "left" the ruling Georgian Dream party said they were finishing work on a bill on foreign agents and fakes in the media. They will present it to Parliament in January.
According to them: "The new law will create a register of agents of foreign influence and determine the list of organizations that have foreign funding and control fakes in the media."
ℹ️ This group, which calls itself "The Power of the People", is known for criticizing the United States, the European Union and diplomatic missions.

🇬🇪❤️ President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili awarded Devi Mezurnishvili and posthumously 13-year-old Marita Meparishvili with the medal "For Civic Selflessness".
The gardener pulled out of the water, despite the tension, two boys and thus saved their lives. The girl died at the same moment from an electric shock in the fountain of Vake Park, when she went down into the water to help two teenagers who had fallen there.

🇬🇪 The main events for Georgia and those that had an impact on it in 2022.
I tried to collect the most important things that happened this year and remember what happened and was discussed in the country.
📍 war of Russia against Ukraine:
✔️ Georgian people support Ukrainians
✔️ cautious position of the current government
✔️ more than 30 thousand refugees from Ukraine came to Georgia
✔️ decline in trade and tourism with Ukraine, which was in the TOP-7 according to these indicators
📍 patriotic and civic upsurge, discussion of occupation and Russia as an enemy
📍 10% double-digit economic growth driven by the recovery of tourism and the migration of Russian citizens, who collectively transferred more than $2 billion into the country
📍 Turkey remains the largest trading partner ($2.5 billion), Russia is second ($2.2 billion) +73%, and China is third ($1.6 billion), a noticeable rapprochement with Azerbaijan
📍 refusal to grant EU candidate status and receiving 12 requirements, but after a series of scandals, vague prospects for obtaining it in 2023
📍 trials against Saakashvili and his stay in the clinic throughout the year, the demands of the opposition and a number of European deputies to extradite him to another country, but the categorical statements of the current authorities that he should be in prison
📍 strong and confident, sometimes with threats, up to the addressee of the president, the position of the ruling party and rather weak, by the end of the year, inconspicuous opposition actions
📍 tourism recovery by 80% from pre-pandemic 2019, a noticeable increase in visitors from the Persian Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bayhrain) and from Europe (European Wizz Air ranks first in air travel in 2022), maintaining a stable flow of tourists from Russia and Belarus (not only migrants)
📍 more than 100 thousand Russians arrived in Georgia for a long time, traffic jams for more than 5 days in the fall on Upper Lars
📍 Unemployment fell to a historic low
📍 inflation in the average annual value was 11.9%
📍 lari strengthening against the dollar (up to 2.71 gel) and the euro (up to 2.88 gel)

🇬🇪❤️💥 New Year in Tbilisi - 2023 has arrived!
An incredible amount of fireworks and pyrotechnics, a distinctive feature of the Georgian capital. Though there seems to be a little less fireworks this year than last.

🥁🎄 New Year celebration in Tbilisi: fair village on Orbeliani square.
Children's attractions, installations, tents with food and drinks, a lot of beautiful illumination. Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili called it "a Russian village opened under my residence." Perhaps because of the Russian speech, which is really heard from everywhere.

🇬🇪 January 2nd in Georgia is "Bedoba" or Fate Day (bedi = fate).
According to legend, your life in the next year will depend on how you live this day. Last year, in Adjara, by the way, I was "mekvle" - a person who brings happiness, prosperity and good luck to the house. We stopped to take photos in the village. The owner of one of the houses urgently brought us to his place and, without accepting refusal, seated us at table already covered with food, at which his entire large family was sitting. Even the 88-year-old grandmother demanded that we eat and drink with the family. On the table were traditional gozinaki, hot khachapuri, barbecue, salads and food in "three rows". They poured us homemade wine, made toasts, and for a long time did not want to let us go. When we finally left, they presented us with delicious tangerines from their own garden.
❤️ Here it is, soulful and warm Georgia...
