      ab: This paper is about treason and anxiety in a small country. In particular, it examines how anxiety of treason as a core political affect and as a form of collective sentimentality has been shaping Georgia's political culture, especially since independence. I approach treason first and foremost as a category embedded in the collective memory narratives to demonstrate how it has been used to frame political processes. At the same time, I treat controversies involving accusations of treason as ramifications of collective anxiety over the notions of peoplehood and sovereignty in a small country.
