TBILISI, June 3 (Reuters) - Georgia's parliamentary speaker signed into law on Monday a bill on "foreign agents" that has caused a political crisis in the South Caucasus country and drawn sharp criticism from its Western allies.

The dispute around the law is a test of whether Georgia, for three decades among the more pro-Western of the Soviet Union's successor states, will maintain its Western orientation or move closer to Russia.

Are leftist really supposed to be giving non critical support to Ivanishvili? A founding member of Semibankirschina, you know the guys who put Yeltsin in power so they could auction off the wealth of the Soviet Union.....

Not only that, but he was one of the main drivers behind Georgia getting in bed with the EU and NATO to begin with. Kinda seems like a billionaire worth 1/3 of the country's gdp is just playing both sides to remain in power.
