Part 8/12:
Russia’s challenges are not confined to its borders. Protests have erupted in Georgia following a triumph for the pro-Russia party in October's elections. Public outcry has built around allegations of election fraud and delays in the country's ambitions to join the European Union. The timing and nature of these protests echo past unrest seen in Ukraine, where geopolitical tensions spiraled into broader conflicts.
Despite Russia’s historical role influencing Georgian politics, the ongoing war in Ukraine has forced Moscow into a defensive posture, creating opportunities for public dissent in Tbilisi. It remains to be seen how this unrest will evolve and whether external interventions might occur amid the broader geopolitical shifts.
