Presenter: Good afternoon, Valeriy Viktorovich!
Valeriy Viktorovich Pyakin: Good afternoon!
Presenter: Good afternoon, dear viewers, radio listeners, and guests in the studio! Today is March 13, 2023.
The first question that people ask you to address sounds quite simple: What is going on in Georgia?
Valeriy Viktorovich Pyakin: What is going on in Georgia? Georgia faces public unrest that seems to have erupted out of thin air. The meaning of this unrest plays a very significant global role. But what is Georgia, and what is its global role? Can Georgia address some global problems or kick off some global processes, actually? Of course not. But this is not about Georgia; this is about who can start all these processes and who can create global problems.
Georgia, just as any post-Soviet state, that is, any Soviet Bloc republic that became an independent state, is not an independent state; it is an engineered state. In our book, we presented a detailed study of Georgia’s governance system and how its government received money for its construction from the budget of the United States. So when a state is in this position—when it has no resources whatsoever in order to conduct an independent policy, when it has been suppressed by another state, which at the level of salaries for government officials has decided what policy is going to be implemented in this country—can such a state get out of this dictate and pursue its own policy? The answer is obviously no—no one who aspires to carry out its policy on a global scale will allow it. The United States constantly pursues its global policy. The United States is the world gendarme, and 800 military bases all over the globe were created exactly to secure the interests of the United States. But, lo and behold, the United States put Georgia in its pocket without building a military base by simply paying salaries to government officials for some period of time—in order to remake a political model so that all of them understood: it is possible to get their bread and butter by milking Georgia while at the same time working in the interests of the United States exclusively.
All of a sudden, Georgia is concerned about introducing the foreign agent law. But which one exactly? The law was copied word-for-word—with minor amendments in terms of regional and political differences, such as replacing ‘United States’ for ‘Georgia’ and ‘American state’ for ‘Georgian state,’ etc.—from the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which is a United States law. One would think, “How does that violate the interests of the United States?” But it violates the interests of the United States. The U.S. ambassador, Kelly Degnan, made that clear in her statement that Georgia’s advancement in the so-called legislation on “foreign influence” (foreign agent law), even if it is a copy of American law, is incompatible with the democratic development that the United States is pursuing.
On March 10, the Kommersant newspaper published two articles. The first article spoke against the implementation of the foreign agent law because it contradicts democratic values (which, by the way, also mentioned Josep Borrell, head of European diplomacy). The second article spoke in favor of Canada implementing the foreign agent law because this is protection of democratic values. This is generally the answer to the question of what is going on in Georgia. That is, on the one hand, the First World countries—the world leaders, the hegemons, who rule over the world—have the right to protect their nation-state interests, which they present to the whole world under the disguise of some universal democratic values; on the other hand, the “Third World” countries, which are being plundered and obliged to follow American policy, don’t have the right to enact that law.
