Video: Flowers Placed at the Flame of the Unknown Soldier in Georgia Resold
An extraordinary incident has occurred in the capital of Georgia. Following the official celebrations on May 9, the flowers placed at the eternal flame of the Unknown Soldier monument went missing, as reported by Georgian Sputnik.
The source indicates that the flowers, placed in honor of the Great Patriotic War heroes by attendees, were collected shortly after the ceremonies by unidentified individuals and resold to other visitors in the park. This came to light after an eyewitness posted a video of the incident on social media.
“The flowers that were brought to the eternal flame of the Unknown Soldier on May 9 were immediately collected by traders and resold near the entrance of Vake Park to those who come to honor the memory of their older generation,” an anonymous citizen commented.
Reports indicate that a significant reaction followed in the comments section of the video. Users labeled the incident a disgrace, with one commenter adding that similar things happen at cemeteries in the country. There too, flowers that have already been placed are collected and resold.
