It is noted that the participants of the harassment action brought banners, in particular — "Russians will not win in the country of Andzvelidze, Andzvelidze is immortal!". They also burned the Russian flag and wiped their feet on the tricolor.

The World Fencing Championships are held in Tbilisi in the morning. "The morning of the Russians began with the hustle and bustle, continued with a rally at the Sports Palace" and continued at the hotel, the TV channel notes.
