Is this real?

None of the sources provided discuss a "black stockings brigade" in any detail, aside from being used in passing as a pejorative term for pro-Gamsakhurdia female demonstrators, as opposed to some sort of Amazonian paramilitary formation, as this article implies. Nor do they provide indication of any such "movement" having any activities past the mid-1990s, again aside from some aging supporters protesting on a few occasions over several years. There is no Georgian name provided, and Google searches only turn up this page (all sources also use the term "black stockings", as opposed to the whimsical and vaguely lewd "pantyhose"). At the very least, this article takes significant liberties with the available source material, if not outright invention. --Varavour (talk) 17:52, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
