Twenty five years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Georgian society lives in a world of stereotypes and ruthless economic conditions, regularly intensified by economic crisis and free market fetishism.

This situation has completely atomised Georgian society.
Unequal social and economic development, social Darwinism, and the fragile political order have led not only to harder lives for the people of Georgia, but have cast a shadow on the future of democracy.
