Summary/Abstract: The peak incidence of COVID-19 in the Caucasus is forecast for mid-May. The countries of the region are not prepared for it—their health services are inefficient, and the adopted anti-crisis solutions do not meet the needs of their economies. The pandemic also leads to limiting the activity of the opposition in these countries, deepening the surveillance of society and intensifying the use of propaganda by the authorities.
