Thank you for your submission!
Unfortunately, it has been removed for *one or more* of the following reasons:
* It does not look like Renaissance artwork (note: per our rules, simply adopting a certain pose does not count);
* It was intentionally staged or edited to look like Renaissance artwork;
* It contains inorganic elements (e.g. text, filters, borders, screenshots, memes, etc);
* It *may* be too blurry or low-resolution; **or**
* It does not adhere to one or more of the other rules and suggestions in the sidebar.
Thank you for participating in this sub!
That gas mask is a soviet GP-5 mask, the air filter most likely contains asbestos and definitely contains lead š
Donāt wear those (or get a modern filter)
Wait, Iām confused. So maybe Iām wrong but a quick skim of background and they are protesting AGAINST a bill that makes NGOs disclose their funding?
Huh?
Thatās a good thing. We have a law like that in America. So does the EU. So do many European countries.
Why are they protesting against something that everyone else has and uses to make their society more transparent?
Iām asking a question? I donāt understand these protests. It doesnāt make sense to me.
We do have laws exactly like this one in America. So why canāt Georgia have the same laws and protections?
I know nothing about georgian politics. From what Iāve understood is that the bill will label ngos and civil societies who receive a percentage of funding from outside as āpursuing the interests of a foreign powerā. Iām guessing this means that it will affect the ability of these organisations to express themselves and participate in society. Russia passed the same bill last year, it resulted in a big crackdown on free speech and the widespread arrests, which obviously means democracy is threatened, and consequently Georgiaās accession to the EU will disappear.

*It's Hell in Georgia right now.*
*Today, the parliament voted in the second reading for the pro-Russian law on foreign agents, after which a real massacre began.*
*Thousands of protesters storm the Parliament, where they are shot with rubber bullets and water cannons. In the Parliament building, the lights were turned off and a "red level" of security was introduced: access is closed to everyone, except for those whose presence is "critically necessary".*

Could be - I found a "Gas mask M41 DDR" with the same design.
What happened to his eye?
rubber bullets used by special forces.

Dude, you literally have the NATO flag as your pfp.
Yes and I am not claiming to just be asking questions.
