Abstract
Untill recently Georgia was a leader of the euro-atlantic integration process among the formal soviet republics. But in 2022 unlike Ukraine and Moldova, it was denied the status of candidate member of EU. Despite the fact that she received candidate status in 2023 it is not clear whether the development of the country to democracy had stopped or not. This determined the purpose of the article to reveal the resilience of the democratic evolution of Georgia, which has not been studed yet. The article is founded on the contextual holism. Using cyclical approach, by means of case study and historical chronological methods the democratic evolution of Georgia is studed. Unenterrupted charactere of it indicates the high resilience of this evolution. It has been continued even under the conditions of authoritarian regimes.Three cycles of democratization and three cycles of athoritarization is discerned and their chronological frameworks are determined. High recilience of democratic evolution is explained by the higher level of the democratic potential of Georgia, which stopped the strngthening of authoritrian prassure. Geographical proximity to Europe and Christianity Added values of the article are : the detection of high resilience of the democcratic evalution of Georgia and contribution of authoritarian regimes to the democratic evolution; investigation of the role of democratic potential and westernization in this process. Cycles of democratization is distingished and their chronology established and the present phase of the transition to the democracy is identified. Variables of resilience of democratic evolution and authoritarianization are revealed. Enfluence of invasion of Russia in Ukraine on democratization is studed.
