Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has claimed that the United States is planning a 'color revolution' in Georgia following the parliamentary elections scheduled for October 26, 2024. The SVR alleges that the U.S. is dissatisfied with the potential success of the ruling Georgian Dream - Democratic Georgia party and fears that the party may reject Western demands. This narrative aligns with the Georgian government's stance, which echoes Kremlin's propaganda. The SVR specifically referred to the planned unrest as a 'Tbilisi Maidan.'
