Kremlin propagandists were in Georgia on election day

The Georgian Central Election Commission confirmed that Russian propagandist Alexander Malkevich received accreditation to cover the parliamentary elections and was present in Tbilisi on the day of the elections. He had previously violated the law on occupation by visiting South Ossetia and should not have been allowed into Georgia.

The Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs did not provide an explanation as to how Malkevich was able to enter the country. Information about his presence was disseminated by the international organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF).

The propagandist himself confirmed his presence in Georgia, speaking on one of the Russian TV channels. Malkevich claimed that "the Georgian people want to cooperate with Russia, as they understand that this is in the national interests of Georgia."

It is known that in the past Malkevich was associated with the structures of the founder of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin. He is also the founder of a propaganda network in the Ukrainian territories under the control of the Russian Federation.

According to media reports, Malkevich is behind large-scale media projects to promote Russian influence in African countries and the United States. The political strategist is wanted by Washington for interfering in the American elections. The US State Department promises a $10 million reward for information about him.

Also, during the parliamentary elections in Georgia, Alexander Toporin, a propagandist for the Kremlin TV channel Solovyov Live, was spotted. After that, he quickly left the country.
