Best Happy Independence Day wishes to all Americans from the BRAMS Institute staff!

Nelson Mandela knew better than any other human being through history the value of freedom and independence. He believed that “for to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others”. The Georgian people believe that "freedom is never offered to anyone, so one should fight for it like fierce lions".

26 May has been one of the most important dates in the history of Georgia since 1918.

It marks the foundation of the first Democratic Republic of Georgia, which was annexed by the Russian Red Army in 1921. Despite the shot-lived independence and the attempts of the Soviet government that ruled the country for the next 70 years, to hunt down and erase anything Georgian and patriotic, the memory of 26 May never faded in the hearts of the local people and part of them kept celebrating the day secretly until better times.

Professor Alexander Elerdashvili, 65, passed away in Tbilisi, Georgia.

BRAMS Institute wishes all Orthodox Christians a burst of sunshine, peaceful times, and a very happy Easter!
