The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of civil society of the two countries of the “Eastern Partnership” - Moldova and Georgia, identifying siilarities and differences in the process of its functioning and development. The article gives a brief description of the civil society of the two states and the le-gal framework regulating the activities of civil society and its relationship with the state. The authors identified three comparison parameters: the situation in the field of human rights; solution of "frozen" conflicts; the interaction of civil society and the state. Comparative analysis allowed to identify common and distinctive features that characterize the civil society of Moldova and Georgia. Both countries are characterized by common problems: situation remains difficult in the field of human rights; in both countries frozen conflicts remain unsolved; the state does not always listen to the views of civil society. At the same time, each country has its own specifics. The authors conclude that in the present both Moldova and Georgia are in need of a strong and competent civil society, which should con-tribute to the implementation of reforms that will promote both countries to-wards European integration.
