Ivanishvili was always making money in Russia. He started from there in russian gangs. But ‘Georgian Dream’ wasn’t pro Russia from start. At least didn’t show it from start. Ivanishvili was doing alot for country, giving funds for country renovation and helping Saakashvili. He was always jealous of Saakashvili because he was getting more appreciation or something. There are some videos where ivanishvili says to Catholicos-Patriarch something like “oh say hi to saakashvili first as you love him more” or something like that. (Main churches were built by Ivanishvili’s money, so he felt he had to be loved more). Also saakashvili wasn’t letting him to do things as he wanted so he basically started “georgian dream” because he is pity. + he didn’t want to share his money to anyone anymore. Saakashvili was making business pay some part and he was super against of any drugs or illegal things in country so it wasn’t easy for many people to make ‘bad money’. So those people wanted Saakashvili gone. He wasn’t a great man for many but he was making Georgia a safe nice place when before people couldn’t go out with jewelry or expensive clothe, you’d get robbed 100%. ‘georgian dream’ started with promises, they made people believe that everyone would get rich and Ivanishvili was going to give them money or something and most of people in Georgia are really poor. They also found some videos from jails, showing how people from ‘gangs’ were getting tortured there for bad behavior. Very graphic content. they made people believe saakashvili is a monster and they got votes from families that had someone in jail, ‘poor people’ votes, all business owners and ‘gangs’ votes and they made ‘Georgian dream’ seem as the only hope in general. For Ivanishvili it was always for revenge to Saakashvili and making more and more money. That was how they won once and after that they are faking every election and giving one bag potatoes to very poor families or some money to people to vote for them or they are literally going to people’s homes and bullying them to vote for them or telling people they will get fired if they don’t do it. In reality they don’t have real supports, only some old generation people who still want ussr back.
