"Soft power" is the best way to build power in the post space. Since Russia has to look like a "hard power", although there is no foreign vector in the South Caucasus, the goal of various propaganda tools is to achieve its goals and use different mechanisms of "soft power" for this. Among them is one of the most important economic factors, which can be decisive for the future of our country. We’d analyzed the economic direction of Russian "soft power" in Georgia.
