You may remember Mikheil Saakashvili as the Western backed president of Georgia, who would later lead his country during the Russian invasion of 2008. However, he was booted out of office in the 2012 election, and has since been appointed governor of Odessa by NATO stooge and Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko. You may also remember him as the man who was caught nervously eating his own tie on live television as Russian soldiers were pouring into his country.

Russian separatists have since responded to his appointment with a rather appropriate form of protest.

Sounding a note of dark humor, residents of Odessa, a port city in southern Ukraine and the site of recent tensions between pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian elements, hung red neckties all over their town as a response to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s appointment of former Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili as governor of the Odessa region. Saakashvili was the leader of the bloodless 2003 Rose Revolution that swept away pro-Russian leadership in Georgia and brought a pro-Western government to power. The neckties are a reference to the infamous video of  Saakashvili nervously chewing on his tie during Georgia’s 2008 conflict with Russia.

You eat one measly tie on television, and they’ll never let you forget it.
