Daniel Vernet notes the persistance of 'sovietism'

For the columnist Daniel Vernet, former URSS satellite countries are having difficulty extracting themselves from 'sovietism'. "The culture of free, transparent, democratic ballots is far from anchored in Georgia. The same goes for other republics of the ex-USSR. Elections there are conceived as a way of giving a popular varnish to power, not as a way of ensuring changeover. The first reflex the authorities have is to manipulate the elections by borrowing various votes, which are more or less grotesque or sophisticated. The opposition's reflex is to contest the results before the election has even taken place. Political battles are not exempt of under the belt manoeuvres anywhere, but the 'kompromat', compromising material archived or fabricated by security services, remains, in these countries, a common means of discrediting political adversaries. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not an adversary, but an enemy to be defeated."
