 One more opinion on the need to review the recent history of Russia's aggression against Ukraine and to investigate other crimes committed by Russia against humanity Nika Chitadze Director of the Center for International Studies  President of the George C. Marshall Alumni Union, Georgia - International and Security Research Center  Professor of the International Black Sea University As it is known, the world democratic society has imposed various sanctions against Russia - primarily of economic nature, which is certainly a welcome fact.

According to the Financial Times, China has expressed readiness to provide military support to Russia. According to the same source, Ru...

First of all, it should be noted that the majority of the Russian population approved of the genocide of the Chechen nation carried out by Russia as a result of the two Chechen wars, when according to various data from 160 to 200 thousand people in the territory of Chechnya Died.
