DISINFO: Georgia freely joined the USSR

SUMMARY

Georgia joined the Soviet Union in 1921 on own initiative and with free will.

RESPONSE

Georgia was a sovereign, democratic republic by 1921, which USSR occupied after the war in February-March 1921. Neither the Government of the Democratic Republic of Georgia, nor the Constituent Assembly has recognised the Soviet occupation.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
