Non-Saacashvilish article in Wikipedia

(If you cannot read Russian - try to use any translator programm if it would be at interest to you)
In fact, today most of articles about Georgia written in English are very pro-Saacashvilish. If you cannot read between the lines - you'll never find the truth. Saacashvili's guys would tell you our army was withdrawn in 1795 but they don't tell you that Russia returned to Georgia territories conquered by Turks. They'll tell you that Russians have treated Georgians badly in period of early 1800's but they won't remind you about Bagration - the famous Russian general, Georgian by nationality who willingly fought against Napoleon despite this. They won't remind you of Georgians who fought on our side against Cherkeses, Chechens, Turks and other foes. And again - actions of authorities not always display feelings of people as I may assure you Russian people always looked at other orthodoxal peoples as brothers (even Ethiopian). If some officers and officials had no rules it doesn't mean they represented will of the whole nation. The same officers and officials inflicted harm to their own Russian farmers and non-gentry people - I mean that's all about concrete person's crimes and not about nation's feelings.
As I've said - things are much more complicated than it may seem. Learn to read between the lines - this is the mastery we've all learned well here in former CCCP during Soviet period
As for the second URL - I cannot see any incorrespondence with my words. Communism was our mutual weight to carry.
And again about friendship - part of my family lives in Sochi - very close to the Abhazian border. In Soviet days there lived a lot of Georgians too. And all of peoples - Georgians, Russians and Abhazes were in good relations. Or at least there was no open hostility between Georgians and Abhazes. My grandmother's name is Tamara - her parents gave her this name in honour of Georgian Queen Tamar in spite they were Russian cossaks. She graduated in Tbilisi and has a lot of Georgian friends - she even can speak Georgian
