17 years ago, Russia launched its war against Georgia, with aggression starting days earlier. Shelling of Georgian 🇬🇪 villages and illegal troop deployments preceded August 7, 2008. The world must not forget how appeasing Russia in Georgia led to war in Ukraine. #WeRemember2008
Tbilisi is scorching hot and the only way to beat the heat is to get wet. Here's my latest guide to Tbilisi swimming spots (pools and water parks). Stay tuned next week for locations au naturale.

Yes, excellent point too. I updated the text for both the German and the Wycliffe. Thanks for chiming in and pointing it out!
Though Hus was definitely aware of Wycliffe and read him, I'm not sure if the influence really carried over, as I think he would have had these issues regardless. Didn't realize Germanization was that late though, will edit on that.
Hahaha, not a surprise
And thanks, glad you enjoyed the read.
Yeah, some of the least patriotic people I've met, when they do have a lot of things to be proud of in their history.
