De Georgische regering wendt zich af van Europa en beweegt richting Moskou. In Tbilisi neemt de repressie sterk toe. Aan het hoofd van het verzet staat Salomé Zoerabisjvili, de vijfde president van Georgië, die zich niet laat wegspelen door de autocraten.
Volgens velen is Salomé Zoerabisjvili, in weerwil van de oligarchische en pro-Russische regeringskliek, nog steeds de president van Georgië

Absolute must read. Beide fotografen kregen politiek asiel in Nederland, Bojan Stojanović is hier toentertijd ook door verschillende media geïnterviewd, maar eigenlijk is er nooit écht kritisch gekeken naar hoe deze foto's tot stand konden komen. Goed werk van Barbara Matejčić.
If you read one thing today, let it be this: Barbara Matejčić investigates the World Press Photo of a murder in Bosnia during the war. How did the photographer capture the killing — and why didn’t the jury ask tougher questions?
