Comments by "Константин Муровцев" (@constantinenm) on "Georgia's ruling party withdraws Foreign Agents Bill and releases protesters" video.

  1. "There was an interesting thing. In the West, at all levels, statements began that it is "Russian law". "Dream" says he will be sent to the examination of the Venetian Commission. They are answered: "and we are not interested." The initiators of the bill presented two options for comparison. One is the exact translation of the English text of the American law, which is much tougher. In Georgian version, the basis was taken by the American, but removed from there all repressive fines, suspension of these NGOs, prison imprisonment, which is provided for up to 5 years. In Georgian version left only transparency. You just need to fill in the declaration so that you can publish who how much money and from whom you get. Nothing else. Frankly, I was stunned by the reaction that followed, including many Western figures. I quote: "and we're not interested in what it says. We don't want to read it at all." President Zurabishvili, being in the United States, and said, "I'm not going to read it. It is a Russian law that completely closes the road of Georgia to the West." If you didn't read, how do you know he's Russian? Maybe he's Chinese? It's like "I'm Pasternaka not reading, but I condemn."
