Welcome to a new episode of Talk Georgia! Ambassador Giorgi Badridze, now a Senior Fellow at the Rondeli Foundation is joining me to explore:

• Can Georgia’s current diplomats serve both oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili and the national interest?

• Russian vs. Georgian authoritarianism: what’s the difference?

• Why do Western allies continue to support Georgia as it slides toward autocracy?
