      "title": "Georgia\u2019s January 2008 Presidential Election: Outcome and Implications",
      "summary": "This report discusses the campaign and results of Georgia\u2019s January 5, 2008, presidential election and implications for Russia and U.S. interests. The election took place after the sitting president, Mikheil Saakashvili, suddenly resigned in the face of domestic and international criticism over his crackdown on political dissidents. Many observers viewed Saakashvili\u2019s re-election as marking some democratization progress, but some raised concerns that political instability might endure and that Georgia\u2019s ties with NATO might suffer. This report may be updated. Related reports include CRS Report RL33453, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia: Political Developments and Implications for U.S. Interests, by Jim Nichol.",
