The introduction laws cracking down on supposed foreign agents has become a common tactic for autocratic leaders. Activists in Georgia, who oppose the introduction of such a law, refer to theirs as âthe Russian lawâ. They see it as moving their country closer to Putin, and away from the West.
Last week, as Georgiaâs parliament prepared to vote on the law, Heidi Pett travelled to Tbilisi, the capital, to meet opposition leaders and find out why they are so afraid. What she discovered was a group being beaten, bruised, and left worried for their personal freedomâwondering, once the dust settles, what the day after tomorrow will bring.

Narendra Modi may well be the most popular politician on the planet. Indiaâs prime minister is eyeing a third term atop the worldâs biggest democracy.
A tea-sellerâs son, Mr Modi began life an outsider and the man behind the political phenomenon remains hard to fathom. India has become an economic powerhouse during his ten years in charge. But heâs also the frontman for a chauvinistic Hindu nationalist dogma.
Can Mr Modi continue to balance both parts of his agenda and finish the job of turning India into a superpower? The Economistâs Avantika Chilkoti finds out what makes him tick.
Launching June 2024.

A bid to squeeze money from social-media platforms that link to news content has backfired: what was intended to help publishers is instead harming them. Americaâs workers still work more than Europeâs; what is changing is where they do it (9:44). And remembering Shirley Conran, whose books were more than merely saucy: they helped women with everything from money to mathematics (16:22).

At a hidden command centre our correspondent finds deflated but defiant soldiers. Fight against Russia now, they say, or fight for Russia against Europe later. With inflation poised to play a critical role in Americaâs election, we ask why voters despise it even though it can signal rude economic health (11:58). And how a century-old novella called âThe Vortexâ pioneered eco-literature (19:23).

A chat with the deputy boss of Ukraineâs military intelligence reveals concerns about a dearth of weaponsâbut the struggle to get new recruits is also proving problematic. The Chinese Communist Party is still hounding experts whose work might expose its pandemic missteps, including the scientist who first sequenced the covid-19 virus (11:24). And why the Japanese still buy so many CDs (17:14).
