LOL. You have to observe the results on the ground to see what a reformer he was. Yes, anti-corruption reform were nice to some degree but no justice was ever involved and he used it to arbitrary punish his political opponents and their supporters. Same about economy. He had a nice government buildings and well-paid government employees but the country was still oxacart. He has ruined traditional trade ties of his nation replacing it with direct US aid. All the investment in private sector were caused by a scam, supported by international organizations, propagating Georgia as a kind of new Israel, which was an obvious lie.

Well, I would hardly cast dispersions. His leadership of the Rose Revolution was one of the most inspirational freedom movements in the modern history. Mainly, his critics are those that were STOPPED from doing business in post-Soviet 1990s-style ways!

Misha’s government has been praised for making GREAT improvements in the fight against corruption. In 2005, his administration amended several laws and increased the amount of investigations and prosecutions reducing the amount of abuse and ill-treatment in pre-trial detention facilities. Also, religious freedom also improved for followers of non-traditional faiths.
