The reclusive billionaire turning Georgia towards the Kremlin
Georgia’s former prime minister Bidzina Ivanishvili has returned to politics for a third time, and is poking his head above the parapet by supporting an inflammatory new law.
In late November 2013, the four most powerful men in Georgia sat around the living room of a glass and steel mansion on a mountain ridge overlooking Tbilisi.
Bidzina Ivanishvili, the billionaire founder of the country’s ruling Georgian Dream party, had just announced he was stepping down as prime minister.
