Georgians recall Russia's past aggression as they prepare for a pivotal election on Saturday, framed by opposition groups as a choice between aligning with Russia or pursuing European integration. The opposition, including four coalitions, aims to end the 12-year rule of the Georgian Dream party, which they accuse of moving closer to Russia. In Gori, a city affected by the 2008 conflict, campaign leader Mindia Goderdzishvili emphasized the memories of Russian occupation, suggesting the government manipulates these memories to maintain power. The opposition seeks to revive Georgia's stalled bid for European Union membership, highlighting the country's complex geopolitical landscape.
