Moscow-based Echo Moskvy radio station called for people to protest against a growing anti-Georgian campaign in Russia by wearing badges saying “I am Georgian.”

“The political standoff between Russia and Georgia has moved on to tracking down Georgians living in Russia. They live with us and they should not be blamed if officials, politicians and the Presidents of the two countries hate each other… If you do not want large-scale ethnic cleansing to be launched in Russia… pin this badge on before coming out into the streets,” a statement posted on the radio station’s web-site reads.
