Georgia

Political journey

An ancient Orthodox Christian kingdom absorbed by Russia in the 19th century and by the Soviet Union in 1921, Georgia became independent in 1991 after civil conflict, losing control of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The 2003 Rose Revolution moved it toward the West, but the ruling Georgian Dream party has since turned more authoritarian and frozen EU accession talks.
