The protesters in Georgia made a barricade out of garbage cans and benches, completely blocking Rustaveli Avenue. "Izvestia" on November 1 published footage from the scene.
"The biggest barricade for the entire time of the protests, it completely blocked across Rustaveli Avenue. It consists of garbage cans, benches, everything that, as they say, was lying badly," Izvestia correspondent Ilya Anikeyev said.
