Georgia On My Mind - Interview With Donald Courter
Manage episode 358590447 series 2849701
Following the events in Georgia last week I spoke RT correspondent (and host of the Revolution Report) Donald Courter. He has been reporting from Tbilisi during the riots that were triggered by the governments attempt to pass a law regulating foreign controlled NGOs.
We talk about the actual forces in play in Georgia, the long shadow of the 2008 war, former President Saakashvili and the turning of the country into a free market laboratory and the effects of this.
Be sure to check out The Revolution Report which has a lot of coverage of the post Soviet world on it.
Outro Music is The Anthem of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic
