Another protest in Sakartvelo, another disappointment with the government

Third month of anti-government protests in Sakartvelo. The resistance is lasting longer than ever before, taking forms never seen in the past and has no single leader. At the same time, the protests are part of a process that has been going on for thirty years, a vicious circle of civil war, revolution, constantly disputed election results, disillusionment with loved leaders, the struggle against the oligarchy, and poorly met social needs. And Russia, which is exacerbating everything.
