I gave an extended interview to the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs (GJIA), the flagship academic publication of Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service. The Summer 2025 piece covers Georgia’s constitutional crisis in depth — from the Foreign Agents Law and Georgian Dream’s authoritarian consolidation, to the protest movement, judicial independence, Russia’s role in Georgian politics, and the narrowing window for Euro-Atlantic integration. I argued that “the fight we are in right now is for the soul of Georgia,” and that Georgian Dream’s gaslighting of the public — portraying itself as pro-European while systematically deepening Georgia’s dependency on Russia — represents the defining political challenge of the moment.
