Gasputin - new saint for Gazprom!

Following protests in Tbilisi over the ensuing gas crisis in Georgia, we thought this piece of art was not only very funny, but also raised awareness of the increasing plight of many Georgians. Georgians are set to face one of the coldest winter in decades, amidst heightening tensions between Georgia and Russia. Explosions that happened on Sunday cut off gas and electricity supplies from Russia to Georgia and Armenia. As a result, Georgian political rhetoric has accused Russia of trying to destabilise the country. Georgians have taken to nicknaming the Russian president Vladimir Putin "Gas-Putin", or Gasputin putting an ironic slant on the whole situation.

Gasputin is the new saint of Gazprom

Peace always,

The Oposium Admin Team
