It’s completely brilliant. I was nervous that a sequel to the excellent Shades of Grey would disappoint but this was a fantastic conclusion that actually had explanations and an ending instead of leaving everything open and unsatisfying. An absolute triumph!

5. Protesters report that there was a very increased sense of solidarity and helping each other.

It is also noteworthy that protests are everywhere in Georgia, even in remote towns.

Overall, I believe, this night inspired many, convinced many, and frightened the regime a lot. 7/7.

3. People knew that on the morning of November 30, the reason protesters underwent hell was because they were fewer than the police. So thousands stayed overnight and into the morning. This ensured that the police could not chase individuals for arrests and beating that much. 4/

2. It was also imperative that the fighting spirit had to be the same, if not even stronger. And it was much stronger, at an unprecedented level. The police had to endure a lot this night. 3/

1. Early morning on November 30, the shockingly vicious targeted violence against individual remaining protesters was aimed at making us fear for our lives, not just our health, for the first time. It was imperative that the crowd had to be even larger then. And it doubled! 2/
