This chapter examines Georgia’s post-2003 reconstruction through the lens of the Ethics of Political Commemoration. Using Tbilisi’s Freedom Square as a case study, it argues that the Georgian government’s failure to secure legitimate authority for key changes led to symbolic failures that have marred the country’s progress toward democracy. The installation of a controversial statue of Saint George, gifted by a Georgian-born Russia-based artist with close ties to the Kremlin, is analyzed as a Trojan horse that undercut the idea that the country’s most important square should serve rather than subjugate its citizens. The chapter contrasts this with the success of Georgia’s new flag and anthem, which gained legitimacy through public discussion and parliamentary approval. It concludes by proposing a vision for “liberating Freedom Square” through a more inclusive and participatory process that reflects the country’s aspirations for democracy and European integration, and by asking students to reimagine the freedoms that the square seeks to convey.
