Russians in Georgia | DW Documentary

- More than 40,000 Russians have fled to Georgia since the war in Ukraine began. A lot of Georgians are skeptical or even hostile, however, toward the new arrivals from their much-hated neighbor.
Georgia has become one of the places of refuge for Russians fleeing either state persecution or the impact of western sanctions. After organizing an anti-war demonstration, Artyom Petukhov had to leave at short notice with little more than his smartphone. He found support from an exiled compatriot, Egor Kuroptev, who moved to Tbilisi over ten years ago. Tanya from Moscow is not an activist, but has come to Georgia with her four children to give them a better future.
Meanwhile, there are growing concerns in Georgia about more Russian citizens potentially relocating to their country. Many Georgians are calling on the government to introduce a strict visa regime for the new arrivals and to distinguish between those fleeing for political or for economic reasons. Relations between the two countries are already tense; since the 2008 war, 20% of Georgia's territory has been occupied by Russia. There is a widespread fear that Georgia could be Russia's next target and that Putin might take over the entire country. Volunteers from Georgia are therefore fighting on the Ukrainians’ side in the current conflict - and risking their lives in their own personal fight against Russia.

I pay tribute to the people from Russia who left their homes and understand what is happening. I am from Ukraine, I had to leave my home, relatives and work. How it is, only we and you, who were forced to leave, can understand. Thanks to the channel that shows the truth about the war and the Putin regime! Thanks to Georgia and its people for helping refugees!
As georgian I can't tolerate others mentioning south Ossetia, which is nonexistent country and it's correct name is Samachablo. When Russians started coming in Georgia, quite big part of georgians wanted to ban them, but perhaps in order to not make the relationship with russia more tense, our government didn't do it. We personally don't have enmity against every russians, but still it doesn't change fact that their country occupied 20% of Georgia.
God Bless Georgia & Ukraine🙏❤️
Russian official, Boris Bondarev. "For twenty years of my diplomatic career I have seen different turns of our foreign policy, but never have I been so ashamed of my country as on February 24 of this year," Bondarev wrote, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. "The aggressive war unleashed by Putin against Ukraine, and in fact against the entire Western world, is not only a crime against the Ukrainian people, but also, perhaps, the most serious crime against the people of Russia, with a bold letter Z crossing out all hopes and prospects for a prosperous free society in our country."
Film how Georgians struggle with the invader, too
40,000 have arrived, 400 are protesting, that's why alongside many other reasons, Georgian people are skeptical...
I'm Russian who have left the country to Georgia after a month of the beginning of the war.
Dear DW,
Unique and valuable perspective. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. This was very interesting and well done.
God bless Georgia 🙏💕
Excellent reporting as usual DW!
DW produces such high quality documentaries, unlike anywhere else found on the internet. Amazing job DW team.
Everyone is running away, but Igor is smart enough to try and help out georgians who are being impacted by russia.
Thank you kind Georgians.. it’s more blessed to give than to receive.. and because you have refreshed others at their lowest point, God himself will refresh you!
Thank you for presenting this very moving story. I am from the USA and I wholeheartedly support Ukraine. But at the same time my heart aches so much for all the Russian people who are also victims of Putin's evil policies.
🌳the children should be learning the Georgian language - the entire family needs to be learning the language of their hosts=the new country 🌳so glad to hear that one young man spoke excellent Georgian🌻
Respect to all humans of a goodwill !!!
I have taxation test tomorrow and here I am watching another documentary.
I hope the neighbouring nations accepting Russians watch their backs. Remember, Putin has already used the excuse of "russian minorities being discriminated" in other regions as an excuse to invade. Including Georgia.
