How did the Rose Revolution help publishers and theatres operate in Georgia?

The Rose Revolution of 2003 helped publishers and theatres operate in Georgia by fostering the emergence of a relatively well-off middle class, which provided the necessary economic foundation for these cultural institutions to function.1

Following the instability, civil war, and economic collapse of the 1990s—which had severely crippled the arts—this newfound economic stability allowed for a resurgence in the literary and theatrical scenes. This environment supported both established writers and a new generation of prose writers and playwrights, such as Aka Morchiladze and Lasha Bughadze, whose works began to gain international acclaim.1
