Documents about Georgia preserved in the archives of the Yeltsin Center
Tbilisi. IDFI will provide the comprehensive analysis of the several dozens of documents about Georgia contained of Yeltsin Center. Today the organization offers the first part of the documents preserved in the Center, which refers to the period of Zviad Gamsakhurdia's presidency (1991).
“The activities of the Yeltsin Center in Russia are not unequivocally perceived. Influential public figure Nikita Mikhalkov protested against the center several times, also LDPR members organized protests in front of the center's building. In 2016, more than 6,000 activists signed a petition on change.org to shut down the Yeltsin Center because it distorted the history. The center's activities have been repeatedly hampered due to the fact that it has often given a space to liberals. Therefore, we believe that it is necessary to download documents related to Georgia and store them in another, more secure place, because it’s unclear when the center and its website will have a problem of functioning. Especially due to the reason that there have been a number of facts when the Russian archives have classified already published documents”, - is mentioned in the information published by IDFI.
