DISINFO: George Soros is destroying Georgian values, culture and nationality
SUMMARY
George Soros and his foundation have been destroying Georgian values. The pro-Western politicians welcome the Soros policy, whose activity is anti-national, anti-orthodox and anti-state and declares that nationality, religion and national cultures should disappear.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about George Soros. The claims on Soros destroying Georgian culture and fighting with orthodoxy are untrue. In fact, Open Society Foundation Georgia has funded 365 projects in the sphere of culture since 1994. The projects included various directions, such as cultural heritage census and photo-fixation, archaeology, museums and modern art development. The foundation has also funded projects concerning the restoration of churches and frescoes, including the famous Kintsvisi Angel fresco. Other issues targeted by the Foundation in Georgia include promoting democracy, legal aid system, re-training employees of the law enforcement system, rehabilitating torture victims and strengthening human rights protection organizations, as well as, funding Georgian students with the aim of studying abroad.
