For several years now, the Georgian protests have been attracting international attention. From March 2023 to the end of 2024, people took to the streets every day, despite police violence and criminal prosecution. Georgians opposed laws modeled on Russian legislation, challenged the re-election of the ruling Georgian Dream party, and protested against the rejection of European integration. Journalist Sasha Fokina spoke with Georgian left-wing activists, who described the state of civil society after the protests.

September met with Zhanna Chernenko, founder of two volunteer groups – Fempodmoga and Lingvo Volunteers, which help Ukrainian refugees in Europe in solving a variety of problems: from translating documents to cases of harassment and violation of labour rights.
