👮🏻‍♂ Contraband for 60 thousand dollars....by mail.

📗🚫 Restaurants in Georgia demand the cancellation of the "green passport".
This was told by the founder of the Georgian Restaurateurs Association Shota Burjanadze.
"Today we have more than 18 thousand cases of infection and absolutely everything is open, but the restaurant business is limited. Now, the restrictions on the "green passport" are nothing but fiction written on a piece of paper. This is the only way to stop the economy, close restaurants and deprive employees of work, there is a huge outflow of professional personnel from our sphere."
Burjanadze believes that the regulation of "green passports", which initially justified itself, did not fulfill its function and eventually did not become a mechanism to encourage vaccination. According to him, restaurants in Tbilisi more or less comply with this restriction, but in the regions this mechanism does not work.
❗️Let me remind you that only visitors with green passports (vaccine or negative tests) can visit bars, cafes and restaurants in Georgia.

🇬🇪➡️🇷🇺 January 30, 1801 - a day in history: - manifesto of Paul I on the annexation of Georgia (Kartli-Kakheti) to Russia.
221 years ago, shortly after the death of George XII, Paul I signed a manifesto on the annexation of Georgia to Russia. In this document, Kartalinia and Kakheti were called the "Georgian Kingdom" for the first time. Ten years later, the Imeretian Kingdom also became part of Russia. Their population retained all previous rights and privileges, including property rights, but also the rights of the Russian Empire extended to it. However, the rights of George's son, David, to the Georgian throne were not confirmed.
ℹ️ In March 1801, Alexander I's decree "On the administration of Georgia" followed, according to which it became a province within Russia, and on September 24, a new system of administration of the Georgian kingdom was established. It assumed its autonomy, which was expressed, among other things, in the inclusion of the "ruler of Georgia" in the composition of local self-government bodies subordinate to the Governor-General. However, soon Tsarevich David and his family were forcibly removed from their homeland and lived in St. Petersburg until his death in 1819.
❗️Only on May 26, 1918, the Georgian government, headed by Noah Jordania, proclaimed the independence of the state and the formation of the Georgian Democratic Republic (it existed for 3 years).
