What we are seeing in Georgia in my view is best called "nihilistic totalitarianism" -- the attempt to remake and subjugate a society, with no positive vision.
Below a recent assessment. (Small quibble: freedoms didn't "decline", they are under attack.)

🇬🇪 Georgia is experiencing one of the fastest declines in civic freedoms in Europe. Our new Observatory report, "Under Siege: How Georgia Is Dismantling Civil Society," shows how repressive laws, smear campaigns and intimidation are shrinking civic space.

“Georgië zijn we kwijt”.
Tegelijkertijd moeten we de Georgiërs niet in de steek laten, juist nu.
De Georgische regering is er voor nu in geslaagd om de open deur van de EU zelf dicht te gooien. Maar de bevolking heeft de hoop ten goede nog niet opgegeven.
