In Tbilisi, the lectures of the Russian anthropologist Drovyshevsky were canceled because of his words about Georgia. The announcement was made by the Tbilisi Auditorium bookstore. The reason was his public statements about the history and current state of Georgia. After the announcement of the events, the users of the social network drew attention to a video in which the scientist discussed the history of Georgia and Tbilisi: Drovishevsky claimed that "the whole of Georgia was built during the Soviet period." "Before that there were stone huts with sheep. Everything was built during the Soviet Union. Since then, everything has been falling apart, everything has been painted over, everything has been completely disgusting. But it's a lot for free," the anthropologist said in the video. The Auditorium team emphasized that it strongly disagrees with Drovishevski's statements, calling them "superficial and disrespectful to the history and culture of Georgia."
