Tbilisi is still on fire

Massive protests in Tbilisi are still ongoing nearly one month after the “Russian Bill” was passed from Georgia’s parliament. The waves of protests are continuing despite police breaking up crowds multiple times, arrests, and also targeting beatings by the security officials on protesters and Opposition leaders.

Note that Georgia’s post-Soviet government was ousted relatively recently, in 2003, in what was called the Rose Revolution, which brought the pro-EU leader Mikheil Saakashvili to power.
