Protesters held signs with messages like “Russian warship, go fuck yourself,” “Abkhazia is Georgia,” “Russia is an occupier,” and “Go back to your fucking country.” Additionally, they carried photos of Abkhazia and the 2008 Russo-Georgian War, and played the Georgian national anthem, according to the outlet Batumelebi.
What can these tourists realistically do, though? It’s not like Russians haven’t been protesting against the war and I’m pretty sure most people living in a dictatorship don’t have much of an option anyway
They could start with not visiting a country their country invaded some years ago.
Although that’s true, in that case I guess the issue is that exactly these tourists appear to be pro-war. For example, one Russian tourist said to a Georgian protester, “We are the Soviet Union. We are a single country”.
I would bet any of the ones taking a cruise aren’t using much (if any) of their resources to protest the war. Fuck them. If the bourgeoisie wants to be welcomed somewhere, they shouldn’t let their nation become an enemy.
