My Take
Saakashvili strikes me as one of the most restless figures in modern post-Soviet politics. What fascinates me is the trajectory itself: a Tbilisi-born lawyer trained at George Washington University who became Georgia's president, then reinvented himself across the Ukrainian border. I won't weigh in on the politics, but I admire the sheer conviction of someone who throws his whole body into the cause he believes in. The pile of foreign honours he collected tells me he was a magnet for strong reactions, never a bystander. Whatever you make of his record, you cannot accuse him of playing it safe, and I find that compelling.
