Summary

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Georgian labor union leader and writer Sopo Japaridze to run through post-Soviet Georgia's history to help us understand the events that are unfolding today! This is a critical discussion that hopefully will be of use to many of you who find yourself not knowing as much about Georgia as you wish you did, and will allow you to understand the ongoing events much better. We certainly found quite a bit of value in this episode, and look forward to bringing Sopo back to discuss the history of Soviet Georgia in the future!
