100,000 Russian mobilization refuseniks in Georgia; Georgians resisting their pro-Russian government

100,000 Russians fleeing mobilization have settled in Georgia, carrying economic, social, and especially political implications. Meanwhile, Georgian society supports Ukraine and EU integration. Still, the Georgian government is failing to act against Russia as society demands, because it placed its bets on Russia winning the war. We sit down with the founder of Georgian outlet Real Politika Zaza Abashidze, Georgian journalist Akaki Zarkua, and Georgian photographer and artist Tbel Abuseridze for a deep dive into Georgia's protests against the "foreign agents" law and fallout of Russian mobilization refuseniks.
