To find out how people live in Georgia, we went further away from Tbilisi and went to one of the most problematic and one of the most prosperous villages in the country. In one village, Chorvila, the oligarch and founder of the Georgian Dream, Bidzina Ivanishvili, was born. There are good roads, renovated houses, and residents willingly talk about how much support their region receives from charitable foundations founded by Ivanishvili. In another village, Shukruti, there are manganese ore deposits. Residents of this area are protesting and trying to draw attention to their situation. They say that manganese mining is destroying houses in the area, showing cracks in the ground and walls. The Georgian Manganese company claims that manganese mining is carried out in accordance with Georgian environmental legislation and international standards, and the destruction is a consequence of mining in Soviet times. The company also pays compensation to smooth out the socio-economic problems of residents. 00:00 Which villages did we choose and why? 01:07 Parliamentary elections have divided Georgia 01:36 Protests over the suspension of EU accession talks 02:26 Who is protesting near the mine in the village of Ukruti and why 06:00 Cracks in the house and on the plot 09:02 A fissure in the ground through the entire village 09:42 What Chiatura Management (the contractor of Georgian Manganese) says 10:26 A school in Shukruti and a school in Chorvila 11:25 Residents of Chorvila about their lives 13:35 Residents of Shukruti about their lives 15:18 A resident of the neighboring village of Itkhvisi about the collapse of houses 17:52 What the protesters are demanding 18:51 How Chiatura Management is responding to these demands 19:30 A resident of Chorvila shows her yard and house 21:42 Can all of Georgia live like this? 22:11 BBC stopped by police in Chorvila 23:05 Statements by Georgian Manganese and Chiatura Management on the suspension of manganese mining #Georgia #Report #Protests Subscribe to our newsletter "Context": https://www.bbc.com/russian/send/u168...
