Geocase Chair Discusses Georgia, a Nation Caught Between Russian Alignment and Western Alliance
Victor Kipiani unpacks Georgia’s political divide, its fraught relations with Russia and the West, and its unique relationship with Israel
By Felice Friedson | The Media Line
[TBILISI] The picturesque coastline of Georgia’s Black Sea often conjures images of idyllic vacations, but in 2025, it also marks a fault line in the country’s political and geopolitical identity. The streets of Tbilisi are awash in protest and division following a disputed election, with Georgia’s future orientation—West or East—hanging in the balance.
At the heart of the conversation is Victor Kipiani, Chair of the influential think tank Geocase and founding partner of MKD Law. A prominent voice in Georgian public life, Kipiani sat down with The Media Line to discuss the geopolitical challenges Georgia faces and the increasingly complex choices before it.
