  Last spring, when tens of thousands of Georgians were protesting against what they saw as a clear sign of Russian influence on the country's politics, Georgia's parliament rushed through amendments to the nation's tax code.

Bidzina Ivanishvili, Georgia's richest man and former prime minister, is reportedly transferring his assets to avoid potential U.S. sanctions due to his connections with Russian oligarchs.
