Georgia tries to part with the Soviet Union to the maximum extent at a symbolic level, has
made great progress in building formal democratic institutions, but in reality it is still man-
aged through informal procedures, to which discursive and symbolic decommunization did
not affect in principle. Discursive and symbolic decommunization had no impact on the way
this country is ruled.
The study is based on the data from national censuses, sociological studies, texts of official
documents and, especially, the invaluable experience of the included observation of sym-
bolic politics in all three countries.
