Georgia Closing Airspace Over Abastumani ‘Ivanishvili Whim’, Sources Tell RFE/RL

This move by Bidzina Ivanishvili with declaration of no-fly zone gives me some hint: if you want to fully unmask this putin pet faster, you should rally not on famous Rustaveli avenue or even near headquarters of his “Georgian Dream” pet party. The most sensitive place for Ivanishvili now is where he imposed so hardcore security measures, going so far up to declaring no-fly zone. So opposition should rally in Abastumani where his family residence is.

I guess this kind of self-exposure via excess security is common among dictators and billionaires alike.

The illustration picked as reminder that the Death does not care about your security measures. it even does not care whether you have enemies who ready to give you ticket for Kobzon concert. It simply comes in its own time no matter what you do.
