Description

Protesters are calling it the ‘Russian law’ – a bill in Georgia’s parliament that, if passed, would label any organization with over 20 percent foreign funding as a foreign agent. The bill has sparked widespread protests. Supporters say it protects Georgian sovereignty. How will it impact whether this small former Soviet republic leans toward Russia or toward the EU?
