9 April park

So now I'm in Tbilisi, sitting in a park, dedicated to an uprising on the 9th April 1989 which was put down, violently, by the Soviet Army. It happened on the street in front of my hotel.

From Wikipedia:

The April 9 tragedy refers to the events in Tbilisi, on April 9, 1989, when an anti-Soviet (but pro-Stalin) demonstration was dispersed by the Soviet Army, resulting in 21 deaths and hundreds of injuries.

I find the pro Stalin comment interesting.

Here's a memorial although there seem to be too many names.

And this lady is also in the park, I don't know who she is, but some monkey has enhanced her pubic region with a black felt tip pen.
