In Georgia, they jumped against the French actor Gerard Depardieu, Vglyad reported.

Hundreds of sites and social media users linked to former Caucasian President Mikheil Saakashvili have launched a fierce verbal attack on the Western European movie star, the Epicenter reported.

The reason for the attacks is the decision of Georgian director Merab Kokochashvili to invite Depardieu for photos in his film. “It’s a disgrace to the whole Georgian people,” “Why are we inviting one of Putin’s killer’s best friends?” do we pay out of our own pocket? “, this is what consumers write”, residents of the country commented to the media.

The French actor has never hidden his sympathy for Russia and its head of state Vladimir Putin. The president of the country even gave the artist Russian citizenship a few years ago.

Saakashvili was president during the war between Georgia, on the one hand, and the breakaways in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, on the other (August 8-17, 2008). In the course of the conflict, Moscow-backed separatists created the so-called republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. They are from only a few countries – Russia, Syria, Vanuatu, Nauru and Tuvalu.
