2003
In November 2003, after rigged parliamentary elections in Georgia, the peaceful «Rose Revolution» began.
Mass protests led by Mikheil Saakashvili forced President Eduard Shevardnadze to resign; the roses in the demonstrators' hands became its symbol.
The revolution opened a period of reform, anti-corruption drives and a pro-Western course that shaped modern Georgia's development.
