Regime changes brought about through color revolutions in a number of former Soviet republics are aimed at weakening Russia, not at the strengthening of the CIS, head of the Antisoros organization Maya Nikoleishvili said at a press conference in Tbilisi on Thursday. \"Saakashvili\'s coming to power with the support of Soros and his policy is a vivid example of attempts to discredit Russia in the international arena,\" she said. The Antisosros organization has conducted a poll dealing with Tbilisi residents\' attitudes to Soros\' activity in Georgia in January, she said.
