Today is the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy.

It was adopted as the anthem of the European Union and over the decades has been used repeatedly as the anthem of freedom and progress in Europe.

Last week it was blasted out in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Protests against Russian law take place in the regions in parallel to Tbilisi. Today people have gathered in Telavi, Kakheti, one of the most apolitical regions in Georgia. Photos t.me/NotoRussianLaw…
