Rising medicine costs eat up the 64-year-old woman's meager pension of 150 lari ($68) a month, leaving her to live off selling cheap jewelry and other trinkets to foreign tourists at a flea market. Now their numbers are shrinking as this former Soviet republic becomes a casualty of the economic turbulence in Russia and Ukraine. Georgia's currency, the lari, has lost more than 20 percent of its value against the dollar since August. (AP Photo/Shakh Aivazov)
