Did u no that there was another Georgia just now?

Question

Growing up, I learned that Georgia was one of the Soviet Socialist Republics. & a few years ago, much of the violence took place in nearby Chechnya, a part of Russia.

Answer 1

Yes I did.  Georgia has a rich history going back to Biblical times.  In fact, the country is named after St. George "the slayer of the dragon".  If Turkey is where "east meets west", Georgia is where Eastern Europe meets "Middle East" Asia.

The Soviet fat cats used to vacation in Georgia on the Black Sea.  I'm not sure what caused the current skirmish but I think Russia wants some of their prime real estate back.

Answer 2

Yes, and considerably older than Georgia USA (Named for King George II)

Georgia (Gori to be exact) was the birthplace of Stalin so everybody should have heard of it before now,
