OTD in 1921 Soviet invasion of Georgia began. Less than a year before we signed a treaty with them promising we'd never invade.
Lying we won't & then invading anyway is a tradition I maintain to this day.

🤷🏻 In the Sverdlovsk region, Russians protest against the ban on Telegram by launching paper airplanes.
Participants complain that the authorities have restricted their freedom of communication so that they cannot discuss tax increases and rising prices in Russia.
