History

Formerly a part of the USSR until 1991.

The Pankisi Gorge, a Muslim enclave in Georgia, became a base for support of the Russian breakaway republic of Chechnya.

In 2003 it saw a color revolution - a CIA-backed coup - installing Mikheil Saakashvili as president, who then declared the country's membership in the EU and NATO as goals.

In 2008, Saakashvili started a war against the breakaway republics of Abkasia and South Ossetia, both under Russian protection.

In the 2024 parliamentary elections in October 26, and the ruling party, Georgian Dream, won, receiving about 54% of the vote. The pro-European opposition alliance received about 37% of the vote and started protests, demanding the election’s cancellation. The president of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili - the former French ambassador to Georgia - said she would not not leave office when her term ends in December because the parliament is "illegitimate".

Bioweapons

"A US-funded biomedical laboratory in Georgia may have conducted bioweapons research under the guise of a drug test, which claimed the lives of at least 73 subjects, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement."

Public opinion

An Integrity Initiative internal document reported that

“Conspiracy theories are also widespread. For example, a prominent narrative has been that the Lugar Center, a biological research laboratory in Tbilisi built with US assistance, is developing viruses to destroy Georgian genes.”
