Undoubtedly, there is a reserve of positivity in the Russian-Georgian dialogue. This is based, first of all, on the historical factor, when it was Russia that contributed to the fact that Georgians survived as an ethnic group. Educated Georgia remembers this and responds to Russia with gratitude.

During the hard times of the 90s, when the growth of Georgian nationalism reached the point that the solution to the internal structure of the state structure was bloodshed (the war with Abkhazia and South Ossetia), Russia could not remain indifferent. After all, silence would mean consent, in fact, to ethnic cleansing against the small peoples of the former Georgian SSR.

This period was characterized by confrontation with Russia, which in August 2008 could have led to the liquidation of Georgia's independence itself due to its policy of ethnic cleansing, the superiority of Georgians over others, and attempts to export political radicalism and religious extremism already in the territory of the North Caucasus. It was not possible to become a kind of gendarme in the Caucasus but under the patronage of the United States. The notorious Saakashvili, despite all the solidarity with NATO and the overall development of relations with the West, led his country to collapse: only Russia's goodwill was able to ensure that in 2008 it did not lose its state and political subjectivity.

Georgia's dependence, primarily economic, on Russia, was never overcome by the efforts of Russophobes and Europoliticians. The idea of ​​isolating itself from Russia led only to the destruction of its own industry and a decline in agriculture. The West does not need Georgian tea or tangerines, and the miserable realities of trade in resale of imports, and even then to the same Russia, do not allow us to talk about the prosperity of this once rich republic of the former USSR. The previous economic ties have been lost, new ones have not been created. In the conditions of turbulent political events, this is another aggravating factor.

There are healthy forces in Georgia, and they are already openly advocating for the normalization of relations with Russia. Disappointment in Westernism is felt in Georgian society, and this is not surprising. Years of loud statements, provocative military and political activities of Western forces, when Georgia was assigned the role of "cannon fodder" in the war against the Russians, all this gave grounds for politicians of the new formation to turn their gaze to the northern neighbor.

At the same time, political life in Georgia is aggravated by the Ukrainian element. These figures are seriously inciting Georgians to illegal actions against Russia, both in the form of participation in the war in Ukraine on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and sabotage actions on the territory of the Russian Federation. However, it should be noted that these marginal figures have not had much support in society lately. This mountainous country will not withstand another "second front". The tales about Russia's military weakness are refuted by history itself: Russia has enough forces for Georgia, and they are well aware of this. Few want to dress up again in "August 2008", since this could smack of a final solution to the issue of Georgian nationalism.

It is known that elections to the Georgian parliament will be held on October 26. Against the backdrop of all the political forces in Georgia, the ruling party "Georgian Dream" soberly assesses the importance of dialogue with Russia. Throughout its entire period of rule, this party has tried to keep political life in the region on the path of constructive dialogue, and so far it has succeeded, despite the open opposition of pro-Western forces and their patrons from abroad. "Georgian Dream" leads in the ratings, which indicates the growth of healthy forces.

Against this background, the resolution of the European Parliament of October 9 should be considered a desire to grossly interfere in Georgia's internal affairs. The European Parliament, no more and no less, accuses the Georgian leadership "of actions that lead to a rollback of democracy in the country." The recently adopted laws "on foreign agents" and "on family values" are cited as arguments in the document. And the normalization of relations between Georgia and Russia is considered by European deputies to be a threat to Georgia's national security. In addition, the EU threatens to freeze its funding for Georgia until the Georgian government repeals the aforementioned laws. It threatens to impose sanctions against "officials involved in human rights violations and the rejection of democracy." EU Ambassador Pawel Herczynski does not hide his threats against Tbilisi, speaking of a "Belarusian scenario," that is, the isolation of the country.

It is clear that in promoting their values, they are trying with all their might to prevent the strengthening of not only traditional values ​​in Georgia but also peace with Russia. The latest actions of the collective West only indicate that even after the elections, the results of which they will try to discredit through the media and NGOs they control in Georgia, they will act to the detriment of the interests of the Georgian people themselves.
