Episode 379: Russian Interference in Georgia - No, Not the State

  • Summary

  • Today, Jess, Morgan, Bishop, and Jeffrey discuss Georgia’s recent parliamentary election that saw the pro-Russian ruling party Georgian Dream come out on top and keep its majority. However, Georgia’s pro-Western President Salome Zourabichvili stated that she did not recognize the results of the election, that the country fell victim to a “Russian special operation,” and protests have seized Tbilsi, the capital. A partial recount was announced yesterday.


    What do we make of allegations of Russian interference in Georgia’s election? What does this election and Georgia’s bid for EU membership signify for geopolitics? What can Western countries do in response to this election?


    Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.
