This issue addresses the debate on whether we are witnessing a relatively rapid and substantial shift in attitudes in Georgia, particularly among the youth. It does so by analysing data from the Caucasus Barometer survey, the most extensive publicly available study of public opinion in the region. The contributions in this issue examine three interconnected topics: media consumption patterns (use of and trust in different sources of information), attitudes toward political participation (including attitudes to democracy), and perceptions of the past (focusing on the Soviet Union and, separately, Stalin as leader).
