Bidzina Ivanishvili, a Georgian oligarch, has managed to export his huge capitals from Russia, and in exchange for this he could take on the commitment to promote the pro-Russian agenda in Georgia. However, authorities of the European Union (EU) have toughened their position towards reducing Ivanishvili's influence on the decisions of Georgian authorities; and the ruling "Georgian Dream" Party can only use the "deoligarchization" in order to increase its ratings before the 2024 parliamentary elections, the political analysts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" have noted.
