Like the ancient Greeks’ Hydra, Georgia’s political elite never ceases to die and be reborn. The same people and governing methods that the “Rose Revolution” of November 2003 sought to defeat have reemerged at the center of power by using their personal networks, which extend outside Georgia’s borders, as well as their tremendous wealth and finely honed skills at political scheming and manipulation.
格鲁吉亚的政治精英们就像是古希腊的九头怪蛇从来不停止死而复生。2003年11月“玫瑰革命”所要推翻的人们以及统治方式通过使用其跨越格鲁吉亚边境的个人网络以及巨额财富和在政治阴谋和操纵方面长袖善舞重新浮现在了权力中心。
