Georgia is defined by its fight for survival. Lying in the shadow of Russia, Turkey and Iran, it has navigated – not always successfully – between the great powers for centuries, longing for freedom. The 26 October parliamentary elections were billed as the latest existential chapter in this centuries-old struggle – a choice between returning to the West or sliding further into Russia’s orbit.
