Georgia is giving a lovely toast to Ukraine as they celebrate her birthday with some not-pictured friends (Lithuania, Poland and Belarus).

@hwsocshipweek | Day 7: Pride

An AU where Ukraine and Nyo!Georgia are dating!

With this prompt, I feel it necessary to speak about what’s happened recently in Georgia and do some good with my platform. If you aren’t aware, a couple of weeks ago far-right groups attacked Tbilisi’s Pride march and completely destroyed Tbilisi Pride’s headquarters. The organization needs help with rebuilding, so if you can, please donate or share their donation link around! ❤️

Some positive updates under the cut!

@hwsocshipweek | Day 4: Historical

Both Ukraine and Georgia have a long history of struggling against Russian domination. During the Russian Empire, the two often collaborated in their efforts for national liberation. Their respective deputies worked together during the First Russian State Duma, and Georgia and Ukraine both joined the Autonomists’ Union (an organization that demanded the decentralization of the Russian empire on the basis of national autonomy) alongside many others such as Belarus, Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Azerbaijan.

While I wanted to use it to broadly represent their collaboration, this art is referencing a specific instance that took place in 1914. That year, Russia had defeated the Austro-Hungarian army and advanced into Eastern Galicia. Russian occupation proved to be heavy-handed, with forcible Russification of Galicia’s Ukrainians and persecution of non-Orthodox religions (as the majority of the population was Ukrainian Greek Catholic). Georgian leaders would later speak out against the treatment of Galician Ukrainians at the Fourth Russian State Duma in 1916, and for this, they would be excluded from future sessions of the State Duma for “violation of internal order”.
