The purpose of this report is not to catalog all the donors of Georgian Dream (GD), which has been extensively covered by other organizations. Instead, our goal is to use factual evidence to show the public how the business interests and connections of the ruling party pose a serious threat to national security due to their deep ties with Russia. It is, therefore, no surprise that almost all major GD donors share two key characteristics:
1. They are entirely dependent on Russia and the Russian market, with nearly all having double Russian / Georgian citizenship or a Russian citizen as a founder/partner or director.
2. Direct connection with Bidzina Ivanishvili’s family.
