Russia always “regrets” that situation is not good between two Orthodox nations and they express condolence about it. It’s not good when one wants to use religion for narrow political purposes and when it becomes subject of speculation. Russia never cared about Orthodox Georgians and we witnessed it in many places, when they backed different kind of people in wars against us.
In 1801, Russia annexed Georgia and abolished autocephaly of the Georgian Church. They saw a real threat in religion as well. In 1921, Russia occupied the First Republic of Georgia; they divided country in peaces and destroyed many churches. During that period the Georgian national treasury was taken to France in order not to be destroyed by Russian Bolsheviks. Thanks to God, treasury was survived and now you can see old Georgian Orthodox icons in our national museum.
Even now Russia still keeps Lenin in mausoleum. It’s obvious that one cannot serve God and devil simultaneously. Keeping Lenin means respect of devil, who destroyed a lot of churches and killed members of the Russian Royal family. They killed their king and can you imagine how “well” they cared of us?
All negative things what happened with Serbia is the result of Milosevic who was backed and encouraged by Russia. Russia gave incentives and promised military support in case of military intervention. True friends are always together and try to show each other the right direction. But Russia opposite showed a wrong direction to Serbia and when NATO started operation, Russia left Serbia alone face to face to NATO and found out that their annual budget was less than a month budget of USA.
So, it’s difficult to understand Russian feeling towards Orthodox nations and their perception of friendship. Tongue does not have a bone and it’s up to you to choose your friends.
