Las protestas en Georgia no han cesado desde octubre de 2024, tras las denuncias de fraude en las elecciones parlamentarias en las que el partido gobernante, Sueño Georgiano, ganó la mayoría de los escaños. En las calles, se sigue exigiendo la repetición de las elecciones y la liberación de los detenidos en las manifestaciones. Decenas de personas en la capital georgiana siguen protestando tras las elecciones del pasado año, denunciando el fraude electoral y exigiendo la repetición de los comicios, la liberación de los manifestantes detenidos y la vuelta al camino europeo.“Obviamente, actualmente, las prioridades han cambiado y ahora es la libertad de los presos políticos”, explica una joven en la protesta número 140 en Tiflis, en la que la población sigue pidiendo justicia y exigiendo el fin del Gobierno a través de cánticos que dicen “abajo los oligarcas” o “sin justicia no hay paz”.Los presos políticos a los que se refiere la joven corresponden a personas detenidas durante las protestas en Georgia que se iniciaron hace ya más de cinco meses. Todo el empezó el 26 de octubre de 2024, cuando el partido Sueño Georgiano (SG) ganó las elecciones parlamentarias renovando su mandato, el cual posee desde 2012.Sin embargo, según observadores internacionales, como la OSCE (Organización para la Seguridad y la Cooperación en Europa) o el Parlamento Europeo, éstas estuvieron repletas de irregularidades, como la compra de votos o la coacción de votantes. Organizaciones civiles, como la Asociación de Jóvenes Abogados de Georgia, pidieron anular los resultados en más de 2.000 colegios.Con estas acusaciones, la población en la capital y en otras grandes ciudades como Batumi o Kutaisi, empezaron a salir a las calles exigiendo la repetición electoral. Durante semanas en noviembre y diciembre eran cientos las personas que protestaban en el país.Unas movilizaciones que fueron reprimidas por el Gobierno: se denunció el abuso de violencia contra los manifestantes por partes de las fuerzas de seguridad estatales. Se establecieron multas para los que participaron en las protestas, y para identificarlos, el Parlamento instaló reconocimiento facial en las cámaras de la ciudad. Medios de comunicación independientes como Batumelebi y Netgazeti han sido cerrados y decenas de periodistas detenidos desde el inicio de las movilizaciones.Una crisis que se agudizó aún más cuando, en medio de las protestas, el primer ministro, Irakli Kobajidze, anunció la suspensión del proceso de adhesión a la UE hasta 2028.“Yo, personalmente, estoy en contra del régimen ruso, y lo que nuestro gobierno ilegítimo está haciendo es esconder que sus últimos pasos han sido guiados por el Gobierno ruso y lo que quieren construir aquí en Georgia es algo inaceptable para la gente que reclama libertad”, dice una manifestante.Los jóvenes en la capital georgiana piden volver al camino europeo y separarse de Rusia. El recuerdo de la guerra que destrozó el país en tan solo cinco días en 2008 aún es muy reciente, y la cercanía a Rusia despierta miedos aún no superados.Y aunque ya no sean cientos de personas y tan solo unas decenas que van a las puertas del Parlamento de Georgia, éstas no tienen pensado parar hasta, como cantan cada noche, “que haya justicia”.

After World War 2, during the period of developed socialism, a rich ecosystem of Marxist intellectuals and academics emerged in the Georgian SSR. Universities and scientific institutes in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Telavi, and Batumi were home to sociologists, philosophers, anthropologists, historians and other academics who took part in Soviet wide and international discussions and debates on different aspects of Marxist theory or Marxist inspired academic research. Since the collapse of the USSR in 1991, this "lost pantheon" of Georgian Marxism has been politically undermined, intellectually marginalized and socially forgotten. But who were these Soviet Georgian Marxists? What were their ideas? What were they writing about and researching in the period of developed socialism, the late USSR? And how did Soviet Georgian Marxists fit into Soviet-wide and broader international academic networks and debates? And why is reclaiming and reengaging with Soviet Georgian Marxists important today? On today's episode we welcome Bakar Berekashvili to begin this discussion on Marxism in Soviet Georgia, what it tells us about Georgia's Soviet experience and how it relates to academia, politics and more in Georgia since 1991. In the coming weeks we will be releasing a series of shorter episodes on individual Soviet Georgian Marxists....stay tuned! Bakar Berekashvili is Professor of Political Science and Sociology at the Georgian American University in Tbilisi. He has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik, at the Institute of Contemporary History in Ljubljana, at the Masaryk University in Brno and at the Spanish National Research Council in Madrid. His research and teaching interests include qualitative research, critical sociology, Marxist thought in Soviet Union, Soviet Union (life and social order), post-socialist politics and society, ruling class, problems of democracy, social & political theory, political sociology, power and ideology.

Mzia Amaghlobeli, the director of Georgian news sites Batumelebi and Netgazeti, has been arrested on charges of assaulting a police officer after slapping Batumi's police chief during a heated exchange. Journalists, legal experts, and media watchdogs have criticised the arrest, saying that the charges, under which she could face four to seven years in prison, are wildly disproportionate to what she had done. This week, we spoke with Batumelebi's Irma Dimitradze about the circumstances surrounding the arrest, to journalist Tamar Rukhadze, about the current media environment in Georgia, and to OC Media's Mariam Nikuradze about the legal debate around her prosecution.

Autor bloga "Kierunek Kaukaz" relacjonuje trwające protesty w Tbilisi. Omawia niezadowolenie społeczeństwa gruzińskiego z decyzji rządu o zawieszeniu integracji z Unią Europejską na 4 lata. W jego ocenie, te protesty są odpowiedzią na narastające frustracje dotyczące wstrzymania procesu integracyjnego. Kacper Ochman wskazuje, że w czasie protestów doszło do poważnych starć, gdzie po jednej stronie protestujący używają fajerwerków i petard, a po drugiej stronie siły porządkowe reagują z użyciem armatek wodnych oraz gazu łzawiącego. Interesującym elementem, o którym wspomina gość "Poranka Wnet", jest fakt, że niektóre szkoły ogłosiły strajk, co pokazuje zwiększenie zasięgu ruchu protestacyjnego i wprowadza nowe grupy społeczne do walki o swoje prawa.Protestujący są aresztowani i brutalnie rozpędzani. Dzieci strajkują w szkołach na znak solidarności z protestującymi przeciwko władzy.Rozmówca Łukasza Jankowskiego mówi także o podobieństwach obecnych protestów do sytuacji na Ukrainie podczas Majdanu, zwracając uwagę na różnice w skali tego ruchu.Choć protesty rozprzestrzeniają się na inne miasta – jak Batumi, Kudaisi czy Poti – Kacper zauważa, że by utrzymać ten impet, potrzebna będzie nie tylko determinacja społeczna, ale także mobilizacja różnych grup społecznych.Kacper Ochman podkreśla, że rządzące ugrupowanie - Gruzińskie Marzenie, zostało wcześniej uznane za gwaranta postępu w integracji z Zachodem, ale teraz ich decyzje mogą prowadzić do rozczarowania nawet umiarkowanego elektoratu. Ponadto, autor bloga "Kierunek Kaukaz" omawia rolę liderów w tym ruchu protestacyjnym, który wydaje się być bardziej spontaniczny i zdominowany przez młodsze pokolenia. Kacper Ochman podkreśla, że brak widocznych liderów oraz zaufania do tradycyjnej opozycji stwarza pewne trudności w koordynowaniu działań protestujących.

For the tenth episode of There Is No Planet Earth Stories, I'm joined by guest Alan Oldham representing stories from Detroit.ALAN OLDHAM has been called “Detroit's Renaissance Man,” equally as known for his art as for his music under the pseudonym DJ T-1000.  The Detroit-born polymath, now living and working in Berlin, began his dual careers in the late 80s. First as the host of the “Fast Forward Program” on WDET FM 101.9, Detroit's first-ever radio show devoted exclusively to electronic music, and as a young indie comic artist, writing and drawing his own original creation, “Johnny Gambit” (predating the Marvel character). Oldham was later tapped by his childhood friend, Derrick May, to illustrate the label art for the now-classic records “Nude Photo” and “Beyond The Dance” on his fledgling Transmat label, and Detroit Techno history was made. Oldham was later hired by another childhood friend, Jeff Mills, to do freelance PR for the nascent Underground Resistance collective, writing press releases for the label. When Mills departed for a solo career, UR partner “Mad” Mike Banks tapped AO to replace him as DJ for their Australian Tour of 1992. The codename DJ T-1000 was adopted, and history was made once again.  Jumpstart to infamy.Since then, as an international DJ, Oldham has spun all over the planet, as far afield as Tokyo, Manila, The Phillipines, and Shanghai. When he's not behind the decks at home clubs Tresor Berlin and RSO, on the road to places like Batumi, Georgia or Trapani, Italy, or in the studio making music for labels like RSPX/Rekids, BPitch Berlin, Suspected Music, Third Ear, Elypsia Records, or his own Pure Sonik Records label, he is making new paintings and organizing art openings showcasing his iconic works. Oldham has put on art happenings in Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Vienna, and Detroit, as well as his iconic techno artworks being on view in Paris, London and Dusseldorf, as part of its traveling “Electronic: From Kraftwerk to the Chemical Brothers” exhibit. The multi-talented Oldham has also made his artistic debut in Kobe, Japan in 2022 with the exhibit “Massive Dynamic” at the Nick Jerky Art Cafe. In 2024, Oldham was also honored by the Mayor and Detroit City Council with a “Spirit of Detroit” Award for his musical and artistic contributions to his hometown. And back in Berlin, as part of Love Parade founder Dr. Motte's Rave The Planet team, Oldham helped Berlin Techno to achieve UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status. Oldham's long-awaited EP as DJ T-1000 for Rekids sub-label RSPX is out now, as well as his new “Ask Me No Questions And I'll Tell You No Lies” EP on Pure Sonik Records, currently riding high on several Spotify techno charts including Mary Anne Hobbs' on BBC6. New releases to come!Support the show

L'ultima serata della fase a gironi, Georgia-Portogallo e il Colosseo a Batumi. Con Claudio Russo, Federico Sborchia, Francesco Andrianopoli, Giulio Di Cienzo, Gregorio Parisi e Marco Maioli.

Tratamos ayer en La ContraCrónica la crisis política que ha estallado en Georgia a raíz de la ley de “influencia extranjera” que se encuentra en estos momentos en tramitación en el parlamento. Esa ley, calcada de la que el Gobierno presentó hace un año ha ocasionado agrias protestas callejeras y el rechazo de la oposición y de ONGs que trabajan en el país. Creen muchos georgianos que será la antesala de la rusificación del país y servirá para que Georgia entre definitivamente en la órbita del Kremlin. El Gobierno de Irakli Kobajidze pretende aprobarla este mismo mes valiéndose de su mayoría absoluta, lo que ha hecho sonar las alarmas en Bruselas donde, desde hace años, se sigue muy de cerca la evolución política georgiana en tanto que es candidato para ingresar en la Unión Europea. Georgia es, como contaba ayer, un país pequeño, lejano y misterioso. No es mucho lo que nos llega desde allí y cuando lo hace se debe a motivos como revueltas callejeras o cambios violentos de Gobierno. Entender las claves de lo que sucede allí no siempre es fácil. Ayer mismo veíamos como el Gobierno que quiere aprobar una ley de genuina inspiración rusa pretende al mismo tiempo acceder a la Unión Europea e incluso a la OTAN. Pero hay más incógnitas. El partido que forma ese Gobierno, Sueño Georgiano, llegó al poder hace doce años como un regenerador de la democracia y su espíritu era europeísta, pero en este tiempo ha ido basculando hacia Rusia. Para conocer las razones que explican este cambio hay que conocer Georgia muy de cerca y entender la evolución de este partido que es, con diferencia, el más votado del país. Otro elemento importante a tener en cuenta en el caso de Georgia es su situación geográfica. Está ubicado en la costa oriental del mar Negro en un cruce de caminos al sur del Cáucaso, una zona muy caliente desde el punto de vista geopolítico. Al norte comparte una larga frontera con Rusia donde tiene dos disputas fronterizas en forma de sendas regiones (Abjasia y Osetia del Sur) que se independizaron hace 16 años con apoyo directo del Kremlin. Al sur hace frontera con Turquía, Armenia y Azerbaiyán. Para el régimen de Putin es importante en tanto que sirve de pasillo para acceder a Armenia y a Irán. Para los azeríes es el paso obligado de los oleoductos y gasoductos que conectan los yacimientos del Caspio con la costa del Mediterráneo. No es, como vemos, un país cualquiera. Tampoco en el interior. El legado soviético sigue pesando y la política se vive con pasión no exenta de violencia. La mayor parte de georgianos quieren entrar en la Unión Europea y occidentalizar el país, pero sólo hasta cierto punto. Todo influye en ese rompecabezas caucásico tan codiciado por Rusia y Occidente. Pues bien, para hablar sobre esto tenemos hoy en el programa a Francisco, un contraescucha bien conocido por la audiencia que, aparte de todo un experto en inteligencia artificial, es residente en Georgia desde hace años. Vive en Batumi, la segunda ciudad del país y su principal puerto. Tengo ya preparadas una batería de preguntas que hacerle porque son muchas las cuestiones que ayer me quedaron pendientes sobre Georgia. - Georgia in my mind de El Polemista - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm1QC2SSp74&list=PLqbrXi27qDrfRehONR0om0yjMOco9MQwG Este programa cuenta con la colaboración de CESCE -https://www.cesce.es · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra la Revolución Francesa”… https://amzn.to/4aF0LpZ · “Hispanos.

„Gruzie je nedoceněná země: Má asi sto kilometrů černomořského pobřeží, kde jsou naprosto unikátní věci, jako pláž s magnetickým pískem, která je léčivá, nejrůznější termální prameny. A když chce člověk jet na hory, tak jede do pětitisícovek. Když chce člověk jet do subtropů, tak jede na jih do Batumi – a to vše v rozmezí asi dvou hodin od letiště v Kutajsi,“ říká bloger Ladislav Větvička v rozhovoru pro pořad Kupředu do minulosti. 1. díl, 05.04.2024, www.RadioUniversum.cz

Paula Erizanu a venit de la Chișinău pentru a participa la Festivalul Internațional de Literatură de la Odesa, care, de doi ani, din cauza războiului, a devenit un proiect itinerant. Anul trecut s-a ținut la Batumi, în Georgia, anul acesta se desfășoară la București. Paula Erizanu a publicat pînă acum trei cărți. Un volum de nonficțiune, „Aceasta e prima mea revoluție. Furați-mi-o”, la Editura Cartier, un jurnal al protestelor din Republica Moldova din 2009, un volum de poezie, „Ai grijă de tine”, la Editura Charmides, și romanul „Ard pădurile”, apărut la Cartier. A coordonat, împreună cu Alina Purcaru, antologia în trei volume „Un secol de poezie română scrisă de femei”, apărută la Editura Cartier. A lucrat la Londra ca jurnalistă, a fost editor cultural pentru „The Calvert Journal” și a colaborat cu „The Guardian”, BBC, „Financial Times”, „London Review of Books”. Am vorbit cu Paula Erizanu despre interesul pentru Est declanșat odată cu începerea războiului, despre legăturile literare dintre Republica Moldova și România, despre cum e să scrii literatură la cald despre evenimente tragice în plină desfășurare.Paula Erizanu: „Interesul României pentru Ucraina a început odată cu interesul Statelor Unite pentru Ucraina. Deși România și Ucraina sînt vecine de atîta timp, uite că a trebuit să înceapă să se cunoască reciproc în această criză.”De ce e important ca, pe timp de război, scriitorii să continue să vorbească, să continue să participe la evenimente literare, să continue să cheme publicul spre literatură?Paula Erizanu: „Pentru că asta e meseria noastră. Și, dacă un scriitor simte nevoia să vorbească și să depună mărturie despre ceea ce se întîmplă, trebuie neapărat să o facă. Nevoia de poezie, de literatură a publicului e mai mare în perioade de restriște decît în perioade de confort. În Ucraina sînt scriitori care au devenit rockstaruri, ca Serhii Jadan, de exemplu, la lansările căruia vin sute de oameni și care urmează să-și lanseze un nou volum în una dintre cele mai mari săli din Kiev, cu mii de oameni. E clar că în perioadele de criză avem nevoie să ne simțim conectați unul la altul și literatura e tocmai acea formă de intimitate care ne unește și care ne ajută să ne simțim mai puțin singuri și mai puțin vulnerabili. Dar e și o formă de întoarcere la viața normală, de dinainte de criză.”  O emisiune de Adela Greceanu  Un produs Radio România Cultural

My guest in this episode is Dr. Kolja Spori. Kolja is a former Hugo Boss Executive, Formula 1 Agent,  and Austrian Economist who has visited all 193 countries of the world. He also worked at for the Rothschilds in Geneva, Switzerland. Kolja loves to travel but specifically adventure travels to conflict areas which earned him the nickname, Dr. Dangerzone. In his quest to seek truth and liberty, he met freedom fighters, guerrillas and warlords, such as the FARC leaders "Black Death" and Tanja Nijmeijer in the Colombian mountains, the Russian Nightwolf "Chirurg" in Crimea, Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov in Grozny, and Liberia's putschist Prince Johnson in Monrovia. Kolja narrowly missed the bombing of Donbas rebel leader Alexander Sakharchenko in the Separatist Cafè Donezk, and he won a staredown against US "Defence Secretary" Donald Rumsfeld in an elevator in Batumi.

In her aspiring career, beginning at age 16, Lindsey Herbert has continued to drift towards the trippier realms of techno, constantly honing her craft as a DJ and getting involved with the thriving scene in San Francisco. Fast-forward to 2022 and Lindsey has truly become a recognized name in her city and beyond, in large part thanks to her unique signature sets— true journeys that explore alternating soundscapes laced together by dark, deep and heavy textures, as well psychedelic elements and ethereal melodies; and now her ever-growing list of original productions as well. With tour dates that have brought her to international venues playing beside top name DJs, she is an artist to watch. Lindsey's hard work over the years has paid off, gaining her residencies with San Francisco's Robot Ears for six years, and more recently becoming the newest member of Direct to Earth in SF, as well as earning a spot on the roster of Berlin-based agency, Point Collective back in 2016. She has played coveted gigs in Detroit, Chicago, Athens, Istanbul, Mexico City and throughout Germany, as well as her debut in the legendary Tresor Berlin and Gate Club in Batumi, Georgia. Lindsey's debut in the production realm was in September 2018 with a remix of Martyn Päsch's track ‘Sacred' on KVLTÖ Records. Her debut solo EP was released in 2019 on LA-based label Ascetic Limited with a remix from Motionen. Her latest releases came out between late 2020-present and consisted of her single ‘Lucid' on NECHTO Records, ‘Dark Matter' on Planet X, ‘Vertigo' on Rave Code, ‘Until We Meet Again' + a remix of Gabriella Vergilov's ‘The Love Anthem' on Chicago's Northern Parallels, a remix of BRÄLLE's ‘Feathers for Bones' on Märked Amsterdam, a remix of Motion Symmetry's ‘Aquarius' on No Way Records + a remix of Kota Kira's ‘Candlelight' on Re:Mission Entertainment.

Today's guest on the Expat Money Show is Dr. Kolja Spori, Formula 1 Agent and Austrian Economist who has visited all 193 countries of the world. In his quest to seek truth and liberty, he met freedom fighters, guerrillas and warlords, such as the FARC leaders "Black Death" and Tanja Nijmeijer in the Colombian mountains, the Russian Nightwolf "Chirurg" in Crimea, Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov in Grozny, and Liberia's putschist Prince Johnson in Monrovia. Kolja narrowly missed the bombing of Donbas rebel leader Alexander Sakharchenko in the Separatist Cafè Donezk, and he won a staredown against US "Defence Secretary" Donald Rumsfeld in an elevator in Batumi. He is often known by his nickname Dr. Dangerzone and is the Ambassador of Germany to the World's youngest country: Liberland, and he also happens to be a very dear friend of mine, so I'm really excited to have him on our show!    A GLIMPSE INTO MY CONVERSATION WITH KOLJA What an intense conversation with Kolja on the most dangerous cities and countries you can travel to and what can happen at any moment while you are there. What life is like when you have visited every UN country in the world, especially war zones…  We talk about THE most dangerous capital in the world and what the government does and doesn't do to protect its citizens. On the other hand, we talk about Russia and the freedom from government and what it's like in Siberia. Such dichotomy. I really wanted to understand what is it about these dangerous countries or the war zone that attracted Kolja to want to visit and see them, and why he continues to visit them again and again. Listen in as Kolja describes war zones and crisis areas in Belfast, Northern Ireland… what it felt like and the process he undertook to be able to process what was happening… countries like Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo… each one more dangerous than the other How hiring a local taxi driver in these horrific war zone areas who can explain why after so many years these things are still happening, can impact who you are as a person and why it's so important to understand the truth. Find out which city and country are Kolja's most favourite of all the countries he has visited in his lifetime. I bet you'll never guess. How the information we get on television or in our mainstream media is the direct opposite of the reality on the ground, as we discuss several different countries and what life is actually like living there. Extreme Traveller Congress… from billionaire to backpacker, how 150 participants come together, no matter what they've done in the past, and why it just doesn't matter, all for the love of travel and adventure. We discuss in detail what life is like for Kolja now, living in Monaco, after spending years travelling… is this still a passion for him? I wanted to understand what Kolja has learned from visiting all of these different types of war zone countries and meeting the players that are involved? What have been his insights? If you have an extra $250,000 sitting around and want to do something so radical that almost no one else on earth has done or even heard about, then listen as Kolja pitches you on his next adventure of 2023.   RELATED EPISODES https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/vit-jedlika (159: Creating A Libertarian Country From Scratch – Vít Jedlička ) https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/jennings-wright/ (145: Building A Nonprofit In The Slums Of Uganda – Jennings Wright ) https://expatmoneyshow.com/episodes/salvatore-lavallo/ (128: Travelling To Every Country In The World – Salvatore Lavallo )   HOW TO CONTACT KOLJA SPORI http://www.spori.net (Spori.net)   CONCLUSION This was a fun hour spent with my friend, smoking a cigar and talking about our radical travels throughout our lives. I'm not a jealous person, but wow, Kolja's experiences have been just mind-blowing for me.  If...

My guest today is a British-born, Spanish-based adventurer, writer and windsurfing instructor. In 2015 he achieved his childhood ambition to windsurf around Britain, becoming only the fourth person to complete the circumnavigation this way, and the first to complete it alone and without support. Everyone, please help me welcome to MFS, Jono Dunnett! Jono's expedition started and ended at the town of Clacton-on Sea. The voyage included the following crossings: Devon to South Wales via Lundy Island; South Wales to Southern Ireland; and Northern Ireland to Scotland. During this time, Jono used his expedition website to raise funds for the World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF). Jono is the author of the book “Long Standing Ambition: The First Round Britain Windsurf”, which chronicles this incredible expedition. In this interview, we talk about where he got the idea to windsurf around Britain, what the preparation was like, the gear that he used and the close calls he experienced in this 98-day voyage. And if that were not incredible enough, in May of 2017, Jono set off on a solo expedition to windsurf the European mainland coastline. He windsurfed a continuous track from Norway's Artic as far as Batumi, Georgia, in the Black Sea. He finished this incredible expedition on June 10 2017. In two years he had sailed about 16,000km, a distance that almost doubled the record for a windsurfing journey. Jono is in the midst of publishing a book on this European expedition, so the hope is that he will come back on the podcast and talk about that exciting expedition. **My First Season podcast has always been free to listen to and is available on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.

Jeszcze 1 października Micheil Saakaszwili, który rządził Gruzją w latach 2004-2013 publikował entuzjastyczne filmy z Batumi, gdzie witał się ze swoją ojczyzną i zachęcał do oddania głosu w wyborach lokalnych na ugrupowanie, którego do niedawna był przewodniczącym, Zjednoczony Ruch Narodowy. Tego samego wieczoru pojawiła się informacja o jego zatrzymaniu w związku z postawionymi mu zarzutami dotyczącymi nadużywania władzy i nielegalnego przekroczenia granicy. W sobotę późnym wieczorem okazało się, że partia związana z Micheilem Saakaszwilim zajęła w wyborach drugie miejsce zdobywając jednak całkiem niezły wynik, czyli ponad 30 procent głosów.  - On pewnie zaimponował części wyborców, że nie bojąc się więzienia wrócił do kraju. Spełnił swoje obietnice bo o powrocie mówił już kilkukrotnie  - podkreśla Wojciech Górecki.  Ekspert OSW przypomniał, że głosowanie cieszyło się ogromnym zainteresowaniem, w tym Zachodu ponieważ po ubiegłorocznych wyborach parlamentarnych doszło do politycznego patu. Opozycja bojkotowała bowiem nowy parlament. W końcu po mediacji Unii Europejskiej, doszło w kwietniu do porozumienia: Gruzińskie Marzenie zgodziło się na to, że w przypadku uzyskania mniej niż 43 procent głosów w wyborach lokalnych, rozpisze przedterminowe wybory do parlamentu. Później wycofała się z tego porozumienia, które zawarto przy mediacji UE. Niemniej jednak w wyborach lokalnych GM zdobyło prawie 47 procent.  Podcast został udostępniony bezpłatnie w ramach współpracy pomiędzy autorem i portalem Nowa Europa Wschodnia.

Rorshok's weekly ten-minute update of stuff happening in Georgia. TV Pirveli cameraman Lekso Lashkarava, who was one of 53 media representatives previously attacked at a Tbilisi Pride counter-rally, was found dead this week. At home recovering from multiple injuries sustained during the attack, circumstances surrounding the journalist's death are still pending and under investigation, but some officials are pointing toward a drug overdose. Lesko's death prompted protests across Georgia, including Batumi where protesters attempted to spray paint the word “murderers” on the Government of Adjara building. In other news, COVID-19 cases are still on the rise, but the country did receive 43,000 AstraZeneca vaccines this past week. Farmers who lost cattle to anthrax will receive compensation from the state, beginning in 2022. A deeper dive into politics and women refusing maternity leave. These stories, and much more. Thanks for tuning in! We want to know why you are listening, how you found us, and your life story! Thoughts? Recommendations?

Battleships, warplanes, brinkmanship, and geopolitics on the high seas. What actually happened when Britain's HMS Defender sailed from the Ukrainian port of Odessa to the Georgian port of Batumi? How did what appears to have been a routine mission to assert navigation rights in the Black Sea escalate into a military and diplomatic incident between Russia and the West? With Russia and NATO conducting dueling naval exercises in the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Seas tensions are rising. On this week's Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks to military analyst Michael Kofman of the CNA Corporation about what it all means. Enjoy…

Ronald Grigor Suny's decades long career as a historian transformed historiography of the Soviet Union by centering the nation and nationality. He did this with special attention to the nations of the South Caucasus - Armenia, Azerbaijan and of course, Georgia. Suny's analysis focused on how nationhood is a constructed product of history, and imagined, not a primordial, essential, ethnic community. Suny's newest book Stalin: Passage To Revolution is a look at the early part of Josef Stalin's life in the years leading up to the 1917 Russian Revolution. The book interrogates the world that made Stalin - early 20th century social democracy in the South Caucasus. This is the multinational movement and milieu spanning Baku, Tiflis and Batumi, in which the young seminarian from Gori, Soso Jughashvill politically matured through writing articles, planning expropriations and organizing workers, becoming Josef Stalin a revolutionary Marxist and bolshevik. On today's episode myself and Sopo Japaridze interview historian Ronald Grigor Suny to discuss his new book Stalin: Passage To Revolution, social democracy in Georgia, Soviet history and more. We here at Reimagining Soviet Georgia held a reading group on the book, so we invited our friend, comrade and fellow reading group member Julia Damphouse on for a short conversation and reflection on the Stalin: Passage to Revolution Julia is a member of the editorial board for the english language translation of the complete works of Rosa Luxemburg, and the reading groups coordinator at Jacobin Magazine. Immediately following the Suny interview, Sopo and Julia discuss their reflections on the book and why it is worth the 700 page undertaking.

Welcome to the first, introductory podcast of Reimagining Soviet Georgia! We are a new, multigenerational, multilingual, Tbilisi based collective. Our goal is to reexamine and rearticulate the history of Soviet Georgia by producing and supporting critical research, including oral and written histories, and a podcast for both Georgian and English speaking audiences. By documenting the perspectives and stories of Georgia's aging Soviet generation, exploring underused archives and working with a new generation of historians untainted by Cold War anti-communism, it will be possible to tell the story of Soviet Georgia on an array of platforms with the honesty and openness it has yet to be fully afforded. Why is Reengaging with Georgia's Soviet experience important? Why now? As the nuance of the Soviet past has been under sustained public political assault since Georgian independence in 1991, the Soviet Union and Georgia's experience within it has been reduced to a caricature of its complex self, seen wholly through the lens of crude anti-communism and ethnonationalism. Even worse, this caricature is used as the ideological and political basis of Georgian politics, creating fertile ground for orthodox libertarianism and a cult of neoliberalism to capture the political imagination of the populace. The Soviet Union in Georgia is presented in public discourse as a time which was bleakly totalitarian, composed solely of gulags and defined solely by political repression. Even worse, propagandistic projects like Tbilisi's “Museum of Soviet Occupation” - a permanent exhibition - work to conceive of Georgia's Soviet story as a continuation of a two century long “Russian occupation”. Or the 2010 passing of the "Liberty Act" which effectively banned the public display of Soviet-era, Communist symbols, thereby making any balanced public appraisal of the historical experience of Soviet Georgia impossible. Projects and laws such as these erase the realities of the Soviet system in Georgia, including the dynamics of Soviet multiethnic life, legacies of Georgian Bolshevism or the benefits and possibilities afforded to Georgians given their comparatively privileged position within the Soviet Union. Georgians who helped build the Soviet Union and the ways in which the Soviet Union built and developed Georgia are actively erased. Even worse, by framing all of Georgia's contemporary problems being solely caused by the Soviet experience, or due to some persistence of a “soviet mentality”, creative and effective political solutions become further and further out of reach. These politics stand in stark contrast to what those of us – both Georgian and non-Georgian alike - with deep interests in the Soviet Union and, in particular, Georgia and the South Caucasus, have experienced in Georgia. Many people we have spoken to wholly reject reductive anti-Soviet sentiments. Miners in Chiatura, refugees from Abkhazia in Tskaltubo, taxi drivers in Kutaisi, market workers in Tbilisi, or small café owners in Batumi - remember the Soviet era as a time of stability and possibility, and the post-Soviet era as marked by profound loss. This opposes how politicians, think tanks, and Western governments alike try and frame the USSR as a system wholly marked by repression and unfreedoms. This is a political tool to them of course, but it is profoundly cynical and dishonest to the history of modern Georgia. Our hope is to give a platform to the voices of those across the country for whom the memory of the USSR is not seen as a regressive detour in the larger history of Georgia but as a better time. We hope to compliment these oral histories with research and writing that will piece together a clearer picture of Georgia's Soviet story, and of Georgia within the global historical trajectory.
