Today is the 11th anniversary of Lech Kaczy\u0144ski's memorable speech at a rally in Tbilisi. On the fifth, decisive day of the Russian-Georgian war, when the Russian troops took Karaleti and Gori and were advancing towards Tbilisi, Lech Kaczy\u0144ski personally arrived in Georgia, taking with him the leaders of Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Speaking in front of the parliament building to the gathered 200,000 Georgians, he stressed that it was the duty of the international community to stand in solidarity against Russian imperial aspirations. \"I would like to say this not only to you, I would like to say it also to those from our common European Union, that Central Europe, Georgia, that our whole region will count, that we are a subject\"- he noted. - And we also know very well that today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, the day after tomorrow the Baltic States, and then maybe it is time for my country - for Poland. Lech Kaczy\u0144ski was one of the greatest statesmen in the history of Poland and he knew how to predict possible scenarios for the development of international events. At the same time he was able to effectively and courageously counteract them. According to Georgian politicians and commentators, Lech Kaczy\u0144ski's visit was an important element in stopping the Russian aggression. Georgians have never forgotten what Lech Kaczy\u0144ski did for them. As a sign of gratitude and in order to preserve the memory of him and his contribution to Georgia's independence, they named streets and squares after him and erected a bust of the Polish President in Tbilisi.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
