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.
@@mykhailoherasimov2753 Tell you truth many georgians supported the idea of going in Apkhazia and Samachablo. But I don't believe that it will end with our victory even if we, georgians risk it. Georgia has weak military power. I feel angry because of that toward past ot present government, but it's still unchangeable fact. Second is that even if we somehow take our territories back, in this process the interaction with the abkhazians or ossetians can't be avoid. It will cause even more enmity between us. Some of ossetians may go back to north ossetia, but abkhazians doesn't have any other place to live. So at least even after the war we will have to live together and new hate after the war will be remembered through the generations.
As for russians, sudden migration or move of tens of thousands of people in the small country like georgia always results negative effect between the locals. Our experience with russia is extremely bad man. Who knows and can tell you which of them are really on the opposite side of russian government. Many of them comes here because of hard economic situation in their country, but don't really feel any sympathy toward Ukrainians and what is happening now there.
@fastovezz I agree with you. Just look what is happening right now in Abkhazia. Their so called country is wholly depended on the russia. The population of abkhazians is also lessening with alarming speed. Russia started with Abkhazia's corrupted 'government' to gave russian citizens more lands there. As I know, the Russian government also took more than 160 acres just a few days ago , when at least ten family live there, but no one cares about them.
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!
14000 thousand people have been killed in the Donbass region by the Ukrainian Government since 2014. The Alley of Angels is a true testimony to the atrocities committed by this corrupt government with western backing.
Yes but as this documentary shows that there are 10s of thousands of Russians in Georgia. So why don't they all, as 40,000+ coordinating with the 10s of thousands within Russia who are against this war, walk enmasse back into Russia, including the children peacefully. Then there would 100s of thousands publicly standing up to Putin making a very big statement. Yeah Stalin would have just mowed them down but would today's police and FSB do that?
More Power to you !!!! You guys have gone through a lot which should not have happened in this so called modern world. Our thoughts are with you and we understand what’s going on.
@icky Vicky Вони не побоялись висловити своє бачення ситуації. Я з Вами не згодна. Тому і тікають. І це не їхня межа відповідальності, вони заручники, того що відбувається.
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."
Did this man mention the coup which resulted this war...and did he mention any suggestion to Russia's activists how they can evem tackle the problem of corruption atleast in lower lever administration...if it's not then he simply is a like many others...
@@panzer0716 What coup???? You mean the 2014 uprising against the corruption of Putler "mini-me" wannabee Yanukovych's regime? Yanukovych's regime stole about $6 billion from the state of Ukraine in just a few short years (but that is still small compared to the billions of dollars that Putin's regime has stolen from the state of Russia). I think you just answered your own question (how can Russian activists tackle the problem of corruption ... ) ... the Russian activists can start by having the same courage to fight corruption as the Ukrainians did!!
gullible fools, Ukraine IS THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTRY IN EUROPE, Zelenskyy is a puppet for Bidens moneylaundering. ALL of our countries govts are the enemy, ALL.
I'm Russian who have left the country to Georgia after a month of the beginning of the war. I was on the protest at the first day of the war in Moscow and was caught by police and brought to court. It's too long to tell how many violations there were by them. I was shocked by the quantity of people on the protest. It was only about 3000 and the police swept it off in about 2 hours. Some of my friends, relatives and my girlfriend told me that I'm wrong and I violate the "peace and unity in our country". Some of people were telling that the war is correct. It's for good. I live in Georgia for more than 4 months so far. It was a long journey of the moral comprehension of all this. It's just recently when I stopped drinking and smoking just to hide my pain and anxiety. You literally don't know what to do with your new status. In the alien country, alone, at first thinking that you are mad and always in doubts "What am I doing here, why I came here, maybe I'm mad, as so many people say that I'm wrong", etc. Throughout my entire childhood I was raised with agenda "We are the nation of winners, savers and defenders" (actually I'd you dive deeper into Afghanistan, Georgia and so on it's not so, but that romantic picture is hard to destroy if you don't have will for that and the majority of people don't have it). And here you are. Your country started this, you are a part of it. First - guilt, apathy, inner self-destruction. Second - acceptance, understanding of the situation and just attempts to normalize your life again. Third (and current) - reimagining of your inner picture of the world and your life and trying to do what you can do and work on yourself and help people who you can help. Thanks to the Georgians who applied us here (although not every of them are welcoming us, but I've never encountered any hostile behavior towards me in real life). They are truly hospitable and nice people and thank you for having us the possibility to live here. P.s. I know - the horror of the Ukrainians is way worse and higher and can't be compared to our problems. At the same time it doesn't mean that we can't have our feelings and problems.
Thanks for sharing your story. Putin has waged psychological warfare on its own people and you have been a victim of this. Glad you've gotten sober and hope your doing all you can to help Ukraine in any way you can. I read a story that said most Russians that have fled Russia for Georgia and other nearby nations actually left because of the sanctions and actually fully support Russia and the war. Have you had any interactions with these Russians? Its these Russians Georgians don't want there.
@@saskhiker3935 as the Georgian fully agree with you, we don't need here imperialists who support russia' actions and who are thretening us to repeat 2008 if we don't speak russian, and here are lot of them it's 99% who came here are like that
Dear brother, leaving your country behind is always a kind of trauma, even for people who leave out of their own will and can go back anytime. Let alone for someone in your situation. Other people in Russia, Georgia, or even from other countries may have various opinions, but you always be kind to yourself and look after yourself. You've done the right thing. Russians like you are important to the future of Russia, to Ukraine, to the whole of our region and the world. Best wishes from Poland.
Well said. It takes a strong moral compass to do the right thing when so many people tell you that you're wrong. Having doubts is healthy. The Russian society is unwell these days, and there doesn't seem to be a quick and easy cure.
It's fine to be skeptical. Just remember that skepticism and bigotry are very different things. One may suspect something, the other assumes things. One is based on accepting there are different possibilities and so looks for actual evidence when suspicion arises. Whereas bigotry assumes guilt with inconsequential evidence, or even no evidence whatsoever (as is more often the case).
@@username7735 of course you are right in that way, but it shouldnt be like that of course, with a stupid sad economic system, always hitting people with less money :( . In anyway, it's understandable they go to Georgia eg. Becusee the visa situation for Russians in general. They should have the opportunity like Ukraine's on the run, get them to Europe too... Oppositional Russians. It's almost no talk about that in europe which is a problem and pity.
@icky Vicky bless Russia, I live here, my mom live here. My FAMILY LIVE here. My suggestion save your "opinion and wishing for this country" where were you when America were killing Serbian? Iraq? Afghanistan? Should i continue? Two-faced
Thank you. This was very interesting and well done. But not mentioned as to one reason Georgians are not happy with all of the Russians now coming is that prices, especially for shelter have now gone up greatly, especially in Tiblisi, creating a burden for an already poor nation.
I understand Georgians fear of Russians moving to their country. Putyin can claim their country based on the number of russians living there. During the CCP the population was forcibly mixed.
@@pragueexpat5106 That’s human greed, when you make a difference in someone’s life, you help them. They have the same desire as the Georgians, to live, speak and breathe without the worry of prison, being ostracized or killed. The Georgians went through terrible times when Russia invaded. Many people were tortured, rounded from their houses and beaten then killed. I remember the stories years ago, stories about people hunted down like animals and disappeared. The Russian refugees are facing the same crisis. They don’t know where they’re going to end up or if Russia will actually invade Georgia. No authoritarian government is going to lead their country into a future where their people feel free. I know because here in the usa out freedoms are being taken away. It starts out slowly and then progresses to the point where everyone is either brainwashed or too scared to say anything.
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.
@@sirkermitthefirstoffrogeth9622 aha, tell me about "discrimination of russians". They are "discriminated" all around the world, everytime. I wonder if you at least know anything about Ukraine apart from the stupidity vomited by TV
@@olgayatsyshyna3117 I know that there have been Pro Russian seperatists in luhansk and Donbass that have been fighting since 2000s, I know that there ate neo nazis that terrorize the Russians in Donbass and Luhansk, I know about the corruption that plagues ukraine some much that it is the poorest country in Europe, I know that Zelensky is sending 1 week trained civilians to the frontlines, I know that the majority of Ukrainians see Russians as liberators than oppressors, I know that Ukrainians are taking WAYYY more losses than Russian and I know that Russians are liberators.

@@sirkermitthefirstoffrogeth9622 Russia Ukraine inhabitans were minority on Ukraine, they cannot assume that their desire will come through alltime Also kreml thugs also maximized the drama and built a full theater, mystique of this Donbass genocide. What is a lie, not a single neutral, uncorrupted or indeed western journalist was allowed in the area. bbc e.g. asked for YEARS to enter the "genocide site" without success. Why it was denied? As a matter of fact bbc asked lavrov about this who completely dissmissing question and changing subject. Being minority, but acting like majority. Without taking into account that this authorian radicalized regime just occupied Crimea, therefore making Ukrainians little bit sceptical about any Russians at their country.
Dear DW, First off, thank you for making this short documentary. Russian mass migration in Georgia is a very sensitive topic. Free Russia foundation is doing great work and these people represent what true shame and responsability should look like. Alas for vast majority of Russians in Georgia, responsability and respect are alien concepts. Most Ruskie coming to my country are not like the ones shown in your documentary, they are vulgar, unapologetic and are not "political refugees" but rather people who escaped sanctions because it inconvenienced their lifestyle. Many of them openly support their president and terrorist country. You said 40K have entered georgia since february, yet only 400 showed up at the Buch massacre protest, I wonder why that is. Tens of thousands more have entered Georgia since april. Our government, which is controlled by a Russian-Georgian oligarch is unwiling to controll unchecked flow of Russians into the country, people of dubious backgrounds and goals are free to enter, while several journalists ( from Rain TV and others) have been denied entry. Overall Russians are not welcome to Georgia as expressed by majority of the people ( and not the government), because they bring blood and desrespect wherever they go. I do not want to rant endlessly, just know that these few Russians that you have shown are an absolute minority.
You are right, my ukrainian friend now in Georgia, she doesn't go out side (only in supermarket for food) because it's torture to see this vulgar russians drinking and laughing (at the same time when she has to flee from Harkiv)
Wow … you are putting a perspective on this that I can only feel absolute empathy for both Ukrainians and Russians who have had to leave their country! We all want to live in peace with freedom to speak about anything. Let’s hope and pray that the brave and canny Ukrainian army will continue its recent push forward ….. Ukraine has to win this war … pro Putin Russians living in Georgia, must surely hear what the opinion of the rest of the world has of Russia….and they may find they are not welcome in Europe anymore … because somehow they have to realise the rest of the world deplores the Russian regime. Admiration in bucket loads , to you Russian people who have left , and show such bravery. … and of course it goes without saying , great admiration to Ukrainians ! I live in NZ… miles away …but people here are very concerned about the war in Ukraine.
Yes i agree with you most have went to Georgia because they can open bank accounts and then link it with their account in Russia which they cant get to work, There cards then work in Georgia ,
That’s disgusting behaviour. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with those of us in the west that just don’t know. All the best from Canada 🇨🇦
1:06 they're right to be afraid, that's exactly how it goes. if you're Russia's neighbor allowing Russians to settle in any significant numbers is asking for a "special denazification operation".
@@sollte1239 You’re both right. Putin is so crazy I can see him wanting to ‘rescue’ those Russians in Georgia. Right now, tho, he has enough on his hands, methinks.
@@sollte1239 well, they are not that “smart” and “well-informed” when it comes to recent history. Most of them won’t admit what Russia did to Georgia, expect Georgians to speak in Russian to them, treat locals as servants and have an audacity to demand respect they never deserved. This attitude is displayed by “smart” IT people as well.
I wish same for those who had to leave Russia for their safety to continue to work to improve life for your family, friends and fellow countrymen in Russia! God Bless you and keep you safe and someday may your efforts come to fruit for Your People in Russia!
Bruh you are not safe in the Kaukasus. If they hear you speak russian you will get beat the fuck up. They still remember Chechnia, the Georgian War and now the War against Ukraine. I wouldn't dare to go near the Kaukasus cuz I would get fucking killed.
When exactly is that God fella showing up to stop the madness, again? I'd much prefer guns to my family in Ukrain and a machine gun to protect myself when regime falls and nineties repeat all over again.
I have question to those who are claiming to be against war and the Russian imperialism but feel uncomfortable to see anti-Putin, anti-imperialist banners, information and so on... Plus, I recommend them to study Georgian and teach Georgian to their children if they want to stay in Georgia, also they need to understand that Georgia is an independent, sovereign, different country, and they need to respect Georgia, Georgian nation and culture! Georgia has an official language, and it is Georgian not Russian, for tourists of course there is no necessity of knowing Georgian because they can use English as it is international language. By the way, in 2006 in Russia anti-Georgian raids started, Police, tax, fire, and other inspection teams were sent to the cafés, restaurants, hotels, entertainment centers, and other enterprises belonging to ethnic Georgians in Russia. Scheduled Georgian cultural performances were cancelled. Taxi drivers were encouraged to request identification from their passengers and refuse service if they turned out to be Georgians. And a massive anti-Georgian propaganda campaign unfolded in the Russian mass media. Georgians were arrested just for being Georgians, and then they were collected and deported via cargo planes if they weren't people, but I don't remember Russians protesting it and defending rights of Georgians, however they are good at criticizing people who have suffered from their terrorist state and yes they are also responsible for them because there was no Putin in 1993 but Apkhazeti was occupied, ethnic cleanse of Georgians and massacre was organized by Russia, Putin isn't only problem, but the mentality of the Russian nation is a real problem behind their leaders. Putin is just one of the representatives of the Russian imperialism which is historically rooted in the society. Even more In August 2008 opposition activist, Aleksei Navalny ,who is considered liberal and democratic leader, referred to Georgians by as "rodents" and said that it would be great if Tbilisi was destroyed as it is a capital of "small empire" (yes, Russians call Georgia Malo-Imperiya... it's part of their old anti-Georgian propaganda, later advanced by Mikhail Suslov. Navalny later apologized, but I don't really believe that he changed, he just needed to pretend as if he really changed.
Same feeling. That goes, also, for Armenians, living in Russia. They were fucking discriminated. i agree, they gotta absorbe everything Georgians. Like it or not!!
Not only are Georgians upset because Russians already occupy 20% of its territory, but these new Russian arrivals are driving up rents and prices for everyday things. The Georgian Lari is one of the few currencies that has actually strengthened against the US Dollar and not weakened unlike most other currencies like the Euro and the Pound due to the influx of these "new" Russian arrivals....
@@lottie6929 To address your first point, ethnic Russians in Ukraine were given and have always had Ukrainian passports, even in Crimea, so that's a weak argument...And, if you are going to play the "let's right the wrongs of history" game, we could be here for years....Besides, "Whataboutery" is a terrible argument....Stick to the present day.
@@lottie6929 russians still occupying various eu countries that they have nothing in common with, still staying there even after cccr occupation, time to go back home, to russia. Or learn the local language and culture.
@@lottie6929 no they havent "always lived there" thats just propaganda, if you look at the past history, russia was practically only moscow and novgorod, but ratniks know nothing of history
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.
@fastovezz yes. Yes. Yes. Whatabolism is there where there is NO justice and NO equal judgement. Its perfectly justifies. If one country can destroy many other countries and get away than how come another country is condemned for exactly the same? Its ridiculous and stupid. Ukraine by the way was participating in Iraq’s invasion like many other “democratic” countries and that time it was OK for Ukraine. They didn’t bother much, but now its somehow different for everybody
The fact that some so-called anti-Putin Russians complain about the quality of their accommodation and feel entitled, rather than showing compassion says so much about them. The reason we are poor (and btw, very few Georgian families can afford to have a separate bedroom for the children), is directly related to the Russian invasion, that investors are reluctant to enter the country because of instability, and that pretty much everything that is related to progress is hindered directly or indirectly by Russia-funded groups. Wouldn't it be better to acknowledge our struggle, rather than saying that "I didn't invade your country"?
Perhaps due to propaganda, these people have not realized the privileges they have even as expats from Russia. I hope that from this they learn more from Georgian people.
So true. They complain about the conditions in a country that welcomed them despite the fact they represent a criminal terrorist country, while Ukrainians in occupied regions like Mariupol sleep in destroyed buildings, with no electricity or running water, scarce food, under constant threat to their lives, with murderers and rapists around them. Some humility would be needed. Also, as someone else said. 400 were at the protest from the 40.000 that came to Georgia. That’s 1%!! If they say that they cant protest in Russia fearing arrestment, this is a good example that this is a lie. They could protest and actually do something from Georgia, but 99% of russists dont care enough even to get out of their houses to light a candle. And we expect them to influence a regime change…
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!

ye because you FALL for the HYPE and LIES. Start some researching of alternative views and look for FACTS not just allegations. Like the bucha allegation that sticks in your head without any proof (in fact, many facts tothe contrary) but by the time facts might get established you will have been influenced. Just one little point on that one: Why did the UN not immediately start investigating Bucha? BECAUSE it would come out that far from Russian troops being the blame it were the Ukrainian USB forces that swooped in as soon as the Russian left who orchestrated the whole scene. You believed in Bush/Blar weapons of mass destructions in Irak , now you know that was a blatant lie but the goose has been cooked and you just accept that you were dubed.
Exactly... I have believed for a long time that Russian operatives, marionettes, and willing U.S. stooges have been manipulating minds in order to create chaos, exploiting divisions to divide us beyond reconciliation, numbing our minds to increasing violence and at the same time stoking lust for voilence against perceived opponents. There are political despots in our country who have studied the KGB's "Fostering Anarchy 101" and surely have been using many tactics to great success in our country. 🤔👹😠😠

I too pay tribute to Russian people who leave Russia. It is difficult to leave country of your birth, family, friends familiar places. It is those governing Russia harshly to be held responsibility for their actions and cruelty, not the people of Russia. Also those who stay in Russia hoping to work toward change in government also deserve honor and praise for their courage and love for their people and country, hoping to change things for the best for the people living in Russia. I say thank you so much for the very dangerous effort you are trying to make better for your country and people. You are courageous, very brave and have a good loving heart toward your country, fellow countrymen . God Bless and watch over you and protect you in your very honorable efforts! Please be careful and keep safe during your courageous efforts for better way of life in Russia.
What you say about the people of Russia protesting against your President and his regime is not entirely true, because the majority of the Russian people support their Government and only a minority are against them.
As a Georgian I never had problem with people coming to my country to see how good it is and so on but with Russians i have two problems 1. They are reason two Georgian regions are occupied and 2. If they are really opposing putin they need to be in Russia doing it in mass movements or underground protests not sitting in Tbilisi having fun in pubs and bars while our soldiers die in Ukraine..... Clueless People.... I understand fear of being captured but they cant arrest millions
Freedom and peaceful loving peoples of Russia deserve humane respects because they are also victims of evil hearted and minded human being we must all give them our full understanding and courage so that they will remain strong in fighting for democracy in their own land may God Almigthy bless them so that we might all live in peace and harmony in only one planet in the universe that a human beings exist
Good and bad in every country, here in America were a republic not a democracy. If you really love your country Russia, you would keep fighting,, they say the pen is mightier than sword, heard about Visa's that let people over to other countries temporarily, for rebuilding because of a disaster.
There is mentioned in the documentary that Russians are not welcomed in Georgia. Still is growing number of Russian citizens who have been settling down in Georgia since February. They have got the opportunity to buy their own property, start business and even to speak in Russian with locals. Let's take a step back and try to see a bigger picture: Georgia has experienced the brutal war in Apkhazia and Samachablo in 1992-93, bloody war in 2008, occupying 20% of country and creeping occupation till today. And all of these is just a drop in the Ocean to list tyrant actions of Putin's regime. Reminder, in 2008, Russia stated that part of the reason for its military action in Georgia stemmed in part from the harm ethnic Russians faced from the Georgian government. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said during the war that the Russian constitution required military action because of Russia’s “responsibility to protect.” This justification represented a distorted merging of the R2P principle, protection for vulnerable groups, and undermined moral authority for humanitarian intervention. Facing minimal international repercussions for its actions, Russia’s reasons for using force in Georgia established a dangerous precedent that it would repeat in different permutations in the years after. And really soon, we have seen Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea in 2014 according to their own understanding of R2P. According to abovementioned Georgians has got the reason to be afraid of Russian citizens who really easily could be weaponzed in a name of "responsibility to protect" by the Putin's barbarous regime. Still, Georgia is not against Russian people, that's why there is a growing number of citizens who choose to start living in Georgia. But strongly against the Putin's occupant regime and therefore to all the people who cross the border and do not want to understand or acknowledge that: 1. Putin's regime kills in Ukraine and not only. 2. 20% of Georgia is occupied by Russia.
@@jansix4287 What I thought just now is that you have read only the starting line of my comment. In case of reading the whole one is that all what you underlined? Have I commented that it's said by the editors of DW documentary? It is mentioned in the documentary, mentioned. The documentry does not cover the group of Russian people who are in silence and have not got any protest against the war criminal, walking peacefully in sunny Tbilisi and eating Khatchapuri. On the contrary, they do not even like flying Ukrainian flags around the country. And starting to talk that they are facing russophobia and discrimination is just one more red alert from the begining and Russian propaganda starts to work. I am sure even in this comment section Russian troll factory will try to make their influence. And for those two group of people I have got only one message: Русский военный корабль, иди на хуй! All the Russian who respect teritorial integrity of Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova are the most welcomed!

And if they don't propagandize identity politics everywhere, doesn't mean they're worse than the West, it means there's just much more people believing in god and Christian values...and they "may have peace in their region" when your government stops messing around with sh/*t that's got nothing to do with them..

I live in Houston and am thankful to see such a well made documentary of the real situation in Russia. I can't tell you how much it is a relief to know the real truth of how you feel. It's all so sad I agree and I admire your spirit in trying to spread the truth.

Not working so far, because the Ukrainians have a criminal running the country, the normal citizens are being forced to fight a far superior Russian army, and do horrific things to their own Ukrianian citizens in Donbas,
The whole situation is so very painful for many, Russians who have fled are victims also, many who haven’t fled live in fear of arrest, Putin has turned not just on Ukraine but many of his own citizens in Russia & abroad, he even said Russians & Ukrainians are one people so he’s killing his own.
_The Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism_ 1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. 2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, and the like. 3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, and the like. 4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda i s neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. 5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy. 6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. 7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. 8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. 9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. 10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed . 11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked and governments often refuse to fund the arts. 12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations. 13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. 14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
Thank you Georgians for the support of 🇺🇦. @DWdocumentary it appeared to me that you presented Ukrainian traditional soup - Borshch as russian dish. I would like you not to help russia appropriate Ukrainian food as their. Also Ukraine is trying to educate the world that the capitol of Ukraine is Kyiv and not Kiev (russian spelling). Thank you for covering this story and helping russians to understand what war is.
I'm an American and I feel your pain on that note in a few months if GOP takes the house, we will also be living in a fascist country. Those are words I would never in my life thought I would be writing. It makes me so sick.
Thanks Georgia for sparking the meaning of Freedom! You're doing the right thing to abandon Russia. Keep up the light of democracy burning in your heart.
I remember looking at Georgian language learning book as a child for Russian speakers. The first article to read in Georgian was about Tbilisi. It started with words, 'Tbilisi is a 5000 year old city'. That is a number that in my opinion would be out of comprehension of any Russian. But then again, I was, I am a Latvian. What is in Russian heads is not understandable. One reason what I heard recently is that Russia(ns) do(es) not have a national identity. That it always wanted to be an empire or anything but not a nation of individuals who work on it. The same probably can be told about British and our Brexit. I am Latvian but recently found that it is not wrong to declare my nationality as British since I identify myself as such. A weird thing.
These Russians are bold in stand g up to this problem...my heart goes out to them...now if only they can wake up the rest of the Russian people and let them see for themselves and know the truth...then maybe they can stop this barbaric war!!! Maybe then they can be free at sometime or another and live their lives more freely instead of being under a dictatorship that cares for no one not even their own people!!! Long live Ukraine!!!
Informative documentary but I worry for the interviewees as the film makers have shown where the live and work.I pray for them Russians who are trying to inform their fellow country men what Putin is really doing...
I'm sorry but it's a veeery small manority of russians who think like that, vast majority of russians in Georgia came here only for life without sanctions, and ofcourse the fsb agents are here, they drink all day, attaking georgian buisnesses, demanding from Georgians to speak russian, they opened cafes in Batumi where local Geogians can't order in Georgian language, they support putin, paying taxes which means investing in war meanwhile living here and using our resourses, they bring here their imperialistic views and very shoked why Georgians don't greet them well, because every generation of my country have friend or relative who was fighting against russian invasion, or died in it, because thrugh out the history russia brought my country only death and suffering, and now they want to rewright the history by saying that until soviet union there wasn't such country as Georgia, we are the one of the oldest country whith the oldest culture! P.s. please don't use the name "south osetia", russians came up with that name, it's Tskhinvali region, region of Georgia, such is Abkhazia
Honestly bringing the heat into Georgia isn't fair either. They should go to Ukraine and either continue their movements, fight, or continue further abroad.

Hate to say it, but it's not just Putin's war in Ukraine. It's harder to establish how much of the guilt Russian people bear of the war, but there's responsibility with the people nonetheless.
Why does Europe get involved in the first place. It's not like we give a fuck about wars and genocide other Countries like China, Afrika do. The War would be over without Europe's/US intervention and many people lives saved. So your support actually prolongs the war and the suffering of the people of Ukraine.
The thing is Russia couldn't manage the lower level corruption in it's state which is resulting this...i know the level of hypocrisy of the West but to deal with you need the media alternatives which Russia doesn't have and that's why majority world is seeing the one sided story of this conflict...that's why system is must important and how much people can control the media...
Peace and freedom for every civilian they don’t deserve on what’s happening but zelensky he is not a angel or a hero like you think, the west media just covering for that man.
@@Bornana7 as I stated, nothing. Just a different perspective. You are not imprisoned just for a wrong opinion, it’s only valid for demonstrations, public activity, media. Not that many of those who left have been vocal before anyway, the financial operations and operations in general are the catalyst for most middle class freelancers or businessmen. You may be surprised how many zeddos actually left because of the exact same reason.
@fastovezz would you fight agaisnt a few thousands 30-years-old trained men in special equipment who have full rights to use unlimited violence towards you, knowing you could be sent to prison for a trifle where you're gonna be tortured? I mean it's easy to be "a fighter" in a democratic country, fighting against the system which opresses you in Twitter, knowing this system will defend all your rights, but when it comes to totalitarian and authoritarian states like Russia... Then there's the only one way out. A bloody senseless cruel revolution, but this revolution demands people to have nothing so they won't be afraid to lose anything. Just like the Arab spring.
As Russians says: Less people, more oxygen. Russia become more unified and agressive, less westernized. Is it good for Russia? No. Is it good for the West? No.
On the other hand, russia faces demography disaster as young, educated people leave this country. This will be a huge issue as population is shrinking.
@@salad7776This year Russia population will rise for 5-6 million people. We also have unique way to increase our GDP - buckle in the tank and starts drive west..GDP increase with every passing mile. Bear leave his lair, bro. He is angry, he is hungry, and he f** dont care what you think, sorry.

You have not the least idea how insanely dangerous, corrupt and unimaginably evil the still Communist dogma system is. Unless you are physically there, Russia and China are so far beyond all comprehension as to defy any sane belief. To dare to speak anything not approved by these governments, you immediately get "disappeared".
These people are just traitors. If they were real Russians fighting for a good cause, they would never 'flee' from Russia. Navalny has never 'fled' from Russia. Now who are these people if not traitors?

Tuesday, September 27, 2022 I send lots of love 💙 and encouragement to the Russians who had to flee Russia for a better life in Georgia. Thank you to all the Georgians who are helping Russian immigrants. 😀
@6:45 Tanya: Your kids would have to speak Georgian at school. Well, what language did you think would be spoken? How do you expect your kids to learn Georgian if you home school them?
It is hard to leave your country, even harder to leave Europe, but, if necessary, come to Canada, we have lots of room and it is too cool to be hostile or hate. John M. Hill,author.
Please tell that to all the Russians in Canada making excuses or openly supporting Putin. It is absolutely ridiculous how affected they are by Russian propaganda even though they're so far away and Putin is not their ruler
Seeing this type of stories, My Mother India is wonderful and with humanity and full of kindness. Being one of her child I am really proud and thanks Almighty for born in India.
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.
Maybe instead of pecifing russians Georgians should of used this ones in a life time opportunity to retake what’s yours
@@mykhailoherasimov2753 Tell you truth many georgians supported the idea of going in Apkhazia and Samachablo. But I don't believe that it will end with our victory even if we, georgians risk it. Georgia has weak military power. I feel angry because of that toward past ot present government, but it's still unchangeable fact. Second is that even if we somehow take our territories back, in this process the interaction with the abkhazians or ossetians can't be avoid. It will cause even more enmity between us. Some of ossetians may go back to north ossetia, but abkhazians doesn't have any other place to live. So at least even after the war we will have to live together and new hate after the war will be remembered through the generations.
As for russians, sudden migration or move of tens of thousands of people in the small country like georgia always results negative effect between the locals. Our experience with russia is extremely bad man. Who knows and can tell you which of them are really on the opposite side of russian government. Many of them comes here because of hard economic situation in their country, but don't really feel any sympathy toward Ukrainians and what is happening now there.
@fastovezz I agree with you. Just look what is happening right now in Abkhazia. Their so called country is wholly depended on the russia. The population of abkhazians is also lessening with alarming speed. Russia started with Abkhazia's corrupted 'government' to gave russian citizens more lands there. As I know, the Russian government also took more than 160 acres just a few days ago , when at least ten family live there, but no one cares about them.
Akhazia and South Ossetia are different countries from Georgia but why your country try to invade them?
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!
14000 thousand people have been killed in the Donbass region by the Ukrainian Government since 2014. The Alley of Angels is a true testimony to the atrocities committed by this corrupt government with western backing.
This war would not have started without NATO's expansion.
Yes but as this documentary shows that there are 10s of thousands of Russians in Georgia. So why don't they all, as 40,000+ coordinating with the 10s of thousands within Russia who are against this war, walk enmasse back into Russia, including the children peacefully. Then there would 100s of thousands publicly standing up to Putin making a very big statement. Yeah Stalin would have just mowed them down but would today's police and FSB do that?
More Power to you !!!! You guys have gone through a lot which should not have happened in this so called modern world. Our thoughts are with you and we understand what’s going on.
@icky Vicky Вони не побоялись висловити своє бачення ситуації. Я з Вами не згодна. Тому і тікають. І це не їхня межа відповідальності, вони заручники, того що відбувається.
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."
It's a crime against the world, Putin must fall.
Did this man mention the coup which resulted this war...and did he mention any suggestion to Russia's activists how they can evem tackle the problem of corruption atleast in lower lever administration...if it's not then he simply is a like many others...
@@panzer0716 excuses to murder and steal. Only stupid people would listen to Putin lie.
@@panzer0716 What coup???? You mean the 2014 uprising against the corruption of Putler "mini-me" wannabee Yanukovych's regime? Yanukovych's regime stole about $6 billion from the state of Ukraine in just a few short years (but that is still small compared to the billions of dollars that Putin's regime has stolen from the state of Russia).
I think you just answered your own question (how can Russian activists tackle the problem of corruption ... ) ... the Russian activists can start by having the same courage to fight corruption as the Ukrainians did!!
gullible fools, Ukraine IS THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTRY IN EUROPE, Zelenskyy is a puppet for Bidens moneylaundering. ALL of our countries govts are the enemy, ALL.
I'm Russian who have left the country to Georgia after a month of the beginning of the war.
I was on the protest at the first day of the war in Moscow and was caught by police and brought to court. It's too long to tell how many violations there were by them. I was shocked by the quantity of people on the protest. It was only about 3000 and the police swept it off in about 2 hours.
Some of my friends, relatives and my girlfriend told me that I'm wrong and I violate the "peace and unity in our country". Some of people were telling that the war is correct. It's for good.
I live in Georgia for more than 4 months so far. It was a long journey of the moral comprehension of all this. It's just recently when I stopped drinking and smoking just to hide my pain and anxiety.
You literally don't know what to do with your new status. In the alien country, alone, at first thinking that you are mad and always in doubts "What am I doing here, why I came here, maybe I'm mad, as so many people say that I'm wrong", etc.
Throughout my entire childhood I was raised with agenda "We are the nation of winners, savers and defenders" (actually I'd you dive deeper into Afghanistan, Georgia and so on it's not so, but that romantic picture is hard to destroy if you don't have will for that and the majority of people don't have it). And here you are. Your country started this, you are a part of it.
First - guilt, apathy, inner self-destruction.
Second - acceptance, understanding of the situation and just attempts to normalize your life again.
Third (and current) - reimagining of your inner picture of the world and your life and trying to do what you can do and work on yourself and help people who you can help.
Thanks to the Georgians who applied us here (although not every of them are welcoming us, but I've never encountered any hostile behavior towards me in real life). They are truly hospitable and nice people and thank you for having us the possibility to live here.
P.s. I know - the horror of the Ukrainians is way worse and higher and can't be compared to our problems. At the same time it doesn't mean that we can't have our feelings and problems.
Thanks for sharing your story. Putin has waged psychological warfare on its own people and you have been a victim of this. Glad you've gotten sober and hope your doing all you can to help Ukraine in any way you can.
I read a story that said most Russians that have fled Russia for Georgia and other nearby nations actually left because of the sanctions and actually fully support Russia and the war. Have you had any interactions with these Russians? Its these Russians Georgians don't want there.
Brilliant ,Maxim !!!!! 😍😘 💝 👍 👍 👍........
@@saskhiker3935 as the Georgian fully agree with you, we don't need here imperialists who support russia' actions and who are thretening us to repeat 2008 if we don't speak russian, and here are lot of them it's 99% who came here are like that
Dear brother, leaving your country behind is always a kind of trauma, even for people who leave out of their own will and can go back anytime. Let alone for someone in your situation. Other people in Russia, Georgia, or even from other countries may have various opinions, but you always be kind to yourself and look after yourself. You've done the right thing. Russians like you are important to the future of Russia, to Ukraine, to the whole of our region and the world. Best wishes from Poland.
Well said.
It takes a strong moral compass to do the right thing when so many people tell you that you're wrong. Having doubts is healthy.
The Russian society is unwell these days, and there doesn't seem to be a quick and easy cure.
40,000 have arrived, 400 are protesting, that's why alongside many other reasons, Georgian people are skeptical...
It's fine to be skeptical. Just remember that skepticism and bigotry are very different things.
One may suspect something, the other assumes things. One is based on accepting there are different possibilities and so looks for actual evidence when suspicion arises. Whereas bigotry assumes guilt with inconsequential evidence, or even no evidence whatsoever (as is more often the case).
Well, I would say the benefit is they are spending money down there to live.

But not mentioned as to one reason Georgians are not happy with all of the Russians now coming is that prices, especially for shelter have now gone up greatly, especially in Tiblisi, creating a burden for an already poor nation.
No country should allow them. That way they are forced to change within. Fleeing helps no one.
I pray that the Georgian will welcome the Russian exiles and work together to build a stronger society. The Russian exiles are victims too.
Indeed, I've heard average rent in Tbilisi has at least doubled.
I understand Georgians fear of Russians moving to their country.
Putyin can claim their country based on the number of russians living there. During the CCP the population was forcibly mixed.
@@pragueexpat5106 That’s human greed, when you make a difference in someone’s life, you help them. They have the same desire
as the Georgians, to live, speak and breathe without the worry of prison, being ostracized or killed. The Georgians went through terrible times when Russia invaded. Many people were tortured, rounded from their houses and beaten then killed. I remember the stories years ago, stories about people hunted down like animals and disappeared. The Russian refugees are facing the same crisis. They don’t know where they’re going to end up or if Russia will actually invade Georgia. No authoritarian government is going to lead their country into a future where their people feel free. I know because here in the usa out freedoms are being taken away. It starts out slowly and then progresses to the point where everyone is either brainwashed or too scared to say anything.
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.
But Russians in Ukraine actually are being discriminated.😐

Russia Ukraine inhabitans were minority on Ukraine, they cannot assume that their desire will come through alltime
Also kreml thugs also maximized the drama and built a full theater, mystique of this Donbass genocide. What is a lie, not a single neutral, uncorrupted or indeed western journalist was allowed in the area. bbc e.g. asked for YEARS to enter the "genocide site" without success. Why it was denied? As a matter of fact bbc asked lavrov about this who completely dissmissing question and changing subject.
Being minority, but acting like majority. Without taking into account that this authorian radicalized regime just occupied Crimea, therefore making Ukrainians little bit sceptical about any Russians at their country.
Dear DW,
First off, thank you for making this short documentary. Russian mass migration in Georgia is a very sensitive topic. Free Russia foundation is doing great work and these people represent what true shame and responsability should look like. Alas for vast majority of Russians in Georgia, responsability and respect are alien concepts. Most Ruskie coming to my country are not like the ones shown in your documentary, they are vulgar, unapologetic and are not "political refugees" but rather people who escaped sanctions because it inconvenienced their lifestyle. Many of them openly support their president and terrorist country. You said 40K have entered georgia since february, yet only 400 showed up at the Buch massacre protest, I wonder why that is. Tens of thousands more have entered Georgia since april. Our government, which is controlled by a Russian-Georgian oligarch is unwiling to controll unchecked flow of Russians into the country, people of dubious backgrounds and goals are free to enter, while several journalists ( from Rain TV and others) have been denied entry. Overall Russians are not welcome to Georgia as expressed by majority of the people ( and not the government), because they bring blood and desrespect wherever they go. I do not want to rant endlessly, just know that these few Russians that you have shown are an absolute minority.
You are right, my ukrainian friend now in Georgia, she doesn't go out side (only in supermarket for food) because it's torture to see this vulgar russians drinking and laughing (at the same time when she has to flee from Harkiv)
Wow … you are putting a perspective on this that I can only feel absolute empathy for both Ukrainians and Russians who have had to leave their country!
We all want to live in peace with freedom to speak about anything. Let’s hope and pray that the brave and canny Ukrainian army will continue its recent push forward ….. Ukraine has to win this war … pro Putin Russians living in Georgia, must surely hear what the opinion of the rest of the world has of Russia….and they may find they are not welcome in Europe anymore … because somehow they have to realise the rest of the world deplores the Russian regime.
Admiration in bucket loads , to you Russian people who have left , and show such bravery. … and of course it goes without saying , great admiration to Ukrainians !
I live in NZ… miles away …but people here are very concerned about the war in Ukraine.
Yes i agree with you most have went to Georgia because they can open bank accounts and then link it with their account in Russia which they cant get to work, There cards then work in Georgia ,
Looks like Georgians have forgotten what living in an authoritarian regime is like...
That’s disgusting behaviour. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with those of us in the west that just don’t know. All the best from Canada 🇨🇦
1:06 they're right to be afraid, that's exactly how it goes. if you're Russia's neighbor allowing Russians to settle in any significant numbers is asking for a "special denazification operation".
No they are not. But IT people bring a lot of money to Georgia and it's important that IT people will not work for Putin
@@sollte1239
You’re both right. Putin is so crazy I can see him wanting to ‘rescue’ those Russians in Georgia. Right now, tho, he has enough on his hands, methinks.
@@sollte1239 well, they are not that “smart” and “well-informed” when it comes to recent history.

This attitude is displayed by “smart” IT people as well.

@@tessietesoro7407 You definitly have that right.
When exactly is that God fella showing up to stop the madness, again? I'd much prefer guns to my family in Ukrain and a machine gun to protect myself when regime falls and nineties repeat all over again.
I have question to those who are claiming to be against war and the Russian imperialism but feel uncomfortable to see anti-Putin, anti-imperialist banners, information and so on... Plus, I recommend them to study Georgian and teach Georgian to their children if they want to stay in Georgia, also they need to understand that Georgia is an independent, sovereign, different country, and they need to respect Georgia, Georgian nation and culture! Georgia has an official language, and it is Georgian not Russian, for tourists of course there is no necessity of knowing Georgian because they can use English as it is international language. By the way, in 2006 in Russia anti-Georgian raids started, Police, tax, fire, and other inspection teams were sent to the cafés, restaurants, hotels, entertainment centers, and other enterprises belonging to ethnic Georgians in Russia. Scheduled Georgian cultural performances were cancelled. Taxi drivers were encouraged to request identification from their passengers and refuse service if they turned out to be Georgians. And a massive anti-Georgian propaganda campaign unfolded in the Russian mass media. Georgians were arrested just for being Georgians, and then they were collected and deported via cargo planes if they weren't people, but I don't remember Russians protesting it and defending rights of Georgians, however they are good at criticizing people who have suffered from their terrorist state and yes they are also responsible for them because there was no Putin in 1993 but Apkhazeti was occupied, ethnic cleanse of Georgians and massacre was organized by Russia, Putin isn't only problem, but the mentality of the Russian nation is a real problem behind their leaders. Putin is just one of the representatives of the Russian imperialism which is historically rooted in the society. Even more In August 2008 opposition activist, Aleksei Navalny ,who is considered liberal and democratic leader, referred to Georgians by as "rodents" and said that it would be great if Tbilisi was destroyed as it is a capital of "small empire" (yes, Russians call Georgia Malo-Imperiya... it's part of their old anti-Georgian propaganda, later advanced by Mikhail Suslov. Navalny later apologized, but I don't really believe that he changed, he just needed to pretend as if he really changed.
Same feeling. That goes, also, for Armenians, living in Russia. They were fucking discriminated. i agree, they gotta absorbe everything Georgians. Like it or not!!
Interesting perspective
Not only are Georgians upset because Russians already occupy 20% of its territory, but these new Russian arrivals are driving up rents and prices for everyday things. The Georgian Lari is one of the few currencies that has actually strengthened against the US Dollar and not weakened unlike most other currencies like the Euro and the Pound due to the influx of these "new" Russian arrivals....

@@marynamalitskaya3534 You obviously don't know anything about me or my concerns!
@fastovezz yes. Yes. Yes. Whatabolism is there where there is NO justice and NO equal judgement. Its perfectly justifies. If one country can destroy many other countries and get away than how come another country is condemned for exactly the same? Its ridiculous and stupid. Ukraine by the way was participating in Iraq’s invasion like many other “democratic” countries and that time it was OK for Ukraine. They didn’t bother much, but now its somehow different for everybody
Respect to all humans of a goodwill !!!
The fact that some so-called anti-Putin Russians complain about the quality of their accommodation and feel entitled, rather than showing compassion says so much about them.
The reason we are poor (and btw, very few Georgian families can afford to have a separate bedroom for the children), is directly related to the Russian invasion, that investors are reluctant to enter the country because of instability, and that pretty much everything that is related to progress is hindered directly or indirectly by Russia-funded groups. Wouldn't it be better to acknowledge our struggle, rather than saying that "I didn't invade your country"?
This report has been made by Germans. 'Russlandversteher' has always been in their minds.
Perhaps due to propaganda, these people have not realized the privileges they have even as expats from Russia. I hope that from this they learn more from Georgian people.
What narrow view you have
They never fully recognise their responsibility. Sick mentality of occupants.
So true. They complain about the conditions in a country that welcomed them despite the fact they represent a criminal terrorist country, while Ukrainians in occupied regions like Mariupol sleep in destroyed buildings, with no electricity or running water, scarce food, under constant threat to their lives, with murderers and rapists around them.
Some humility would be needed.
Also, as someone else said. 400 were at the protest from the 40.000 that came to Georgia. That’s 1%!! If they say that they cant protest in Russia fearing arrestment, this is a good example that this is a lie. They could protest and actually do something from Georgia, but 99% of russists dont care enough even to get out of their houses to light a candle. And we expect them to influence a regime change…
Unique and valuable perspective. Thank you for sharing.

Everyone is running away, but Igor is smart enough to try and help out georgians who are being impacted by russia.

ye because you FALL for the HYPE and LIES. Start some researching of alternative views and look for FACTS not just allegations. Like the bucha allegation that sticks in your head without any proof (in fact, many facts tothe contrary) but by the time facts might get established you will have been influenced. Just one little point on that one: Why did the UN not immediately start investigating Bucha? BECAUSE it would come out that far from Russian troops being the blame it were the Ukrainian USB forces that swooped in as soon as the Russian left who orchestrated the whole scene. You believed in Bush/Blar weapons of mass destructions in Irak , now you know that was a blatant lie but the goose has been cooked and you just accept that you were dubed.
Exactly... I have believed for a long time that Russian operatives, marionettes, and willing U.S. stooges have been manipulating minds in order to create chaos, exploiting divisions to divide us beyond reconciliation, numbing our minds to increasing violence and at the same time stoking lust for voilence against perceived opponents. There are political despots in our country who have studied the KGB's "Fostering Anarchy 101" and surely have been using many tactics to great success in our country. 🤔👹😠😠

Generally the comments mention people proud if the xenophobic attacks Georgians are comitting against Russian refugees.
Yes, the Russian minority in ex-soviet countries is a commin excuse for invation. But Georgians are being stupid by attacking Russian refugees instead of their ori-Putin giv
The problem is because of their history of taking over other countries no one can trust even the good ones.
Don't be ridiculous - they just afraid of being killed in war and merely left country because of that that is the simple explanation - in general they have betrayed their homeland - You can expect everything from person who had betrayed his own nation!

I too pay tribute to Russian people who leave Russia. It is difficult to leave country of your birth, family, friends familiar places. It is those governing Russia harshly to be held responsibility for their actions and cruelty, not the people of Russia.
Also those who stay in Russia hoping to work toward change in government also deserve honor and praise for their courage and love for their people and country, hoping to change things for the best for the people living in Russia. I say thank you so much for the very dangerous effort you are trying to make better for your country and people. You are courageous, very brave and have a good loving heart toward your country, fellow countrymen . God Bless and watch over you and protect you in your very honorable efforts! Please be careful and keep safe during your courageous efforts for better way of life in Russia.
The Russians are seeing their sons being killed in Ukraine and this must stop and they must withdraw from Ukraine
What you say about the people of Russia protesting against your President and his regime is not entirely true, because the majority of the Russian people support their Government and only a minority are against them.
Absolutely brilliant comment my friend
Let us pray that all the Russian people will leave Russia and begin a new life for themselves and their families.
As a Georgian I never had problem with people coming to my country to see how good it is and so on but with Russians i have two problems 1. They are reason two Georgian regions are occupied and 2. If they are really opposing putin they need to be in Russia doing it in mass movements or underground protests not sitting in Tbilisi having fun in pubs and bars while our soldiers die in Ukraine..... Clueless People.... I understand fear of being captured but they cant arrest millions

There is mentioned in the documentary that Russians are not welcomed in Georgia. Still is growing number of Russian citizens who have been settling down in Georgia since February. They have got the opportunity to buy their own property, start business and even to speak in Russian with locals. Let's take a step back and try to see a bigger picture: Georgia has experienced the brutal war in Apkhazia and Samachablo in 1992-93, bloody war in 2008, occupying 20% of country and creeping occupation till today. And all of these is just a drop in the Ocean to list tyrant actions of Putin's regime.
Reminder, in 2008, Russia stated that part of the reason for its military action in Georgia stemmed in part from the harm ethnic Russians faced from the Georgian government. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said during the war that the Russian constitution required military action because of Russia’s “responsibility to protect.” This justification represented a distorted merging of the R2P principle, protection for vulnerable groups, and undermined moral authority for humanitarian intervention. Facing minimal international repercussions for its actions, Russia’s reasons for using force in Georgia established a dangerous precedent that it would repeat in different permutations in the years after. And really soon, we have seen Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea in 2014 according to their own understanding of R2P.
According to abovementioned Georgians has got the reason to be afraid of Russian citizens who really easily could be weaponzed in a name of "responsibility to protect" by the Putin's barbarous regime. Still, Georgia is not against Russian people, that's why there is a growing number of citizens who choose to start living in Georgia.
But strongly against the Putin's occupant regime and therefore to all the people who cross the border and do not want to understand or acknowledge that:
1. Putin's regime kills in Ukraine and not only.
2. 20% of Georgia is occupied by Russia.
It is 4D chess. Just wait for a change in voting laws
It’s not mentioned. Actual Russians in Georgia are saying they don’t feel welcome. This sentiment whether true or not is reported.
@@jansix4287 What I thought just now is that you have read only the starting line of my comment. In case of reading the whole one is that all what you underlined? Have I commented that it's said by the editors of DW documentary? It is mentioned in the documentary, mentioned.
The documentry does not cover the group of Russian people who are in silence and have not got any protest against the war criminal, walking peacefully in sunny Tbilisi and eating Khatchapuri. On the contrary, they do not even like flying Ukrainian flags around the country. And starting to talk that they are facing russophobia and discrimination is just one more red alert from the begining and Russian propaganda starts to work.
I am sure even in this comment section Russian troll factory will try to make their influence. And for those two group of people I have got only one message: Русский военный корабль, иди на хуй!
All the Russian who respect teritorial integrity of Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova are the most welcomed!

@@l.s.8938 The narrator mentions that to attend a school the brothers would have to speak in Georgian, meanwhile there are 58 Russian speaking schools/sectors in the country. 2 schools and 11 sectors are Russian speaking in the capital of Georgia.
Yes, the sad reality is that most of them are the victims of the Putin's tyrant regime but could not accept the procces how some of them are trying to represent theirself as a victim of Georgian society, Russophobia, Discrimination, no opportunity for studying and etc.
Cover/Record the rest of Russians who are taking down the Ukrainian flags in the city!
Why doesn't this video mention how the cost of renting an apartment in Georgia, Armenia, Serbia etc has sometimes doubled or even tripled due to the hundreds of thousands of Russians who have 'fled' there?

Are you for real? ...I guess you're all so far gone, you don't recognize lies and propaganda at all anymore. Russia has it's problems, but overall it's much more free than the West is now. And if they don't propagandize identity politics everywhere, doesn't mean they're worse than the West, it means there's just much more people believing in god and Christian values...and they "may have peace in their region" when your government stops messing around with sh/*t that's got nothing to do with them..

_The Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism_
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, and the like.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, and the like.
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda i s neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
The devil, the Antichrist and the false prophet are the source of the disaster from the start

I remember looking at Georgian language learning book as a child for Russian speakers. The first article to read in Georgian was about Tbilisi. It started with words, 'Tbilisi is a 5000 year old city'. That is a number that in my opinion would be out of comprehension of any Russian. But then again, I was, I am a Latvian. What is in Russian heads is not understandable. One reason what I heard recently is that Russia(ns) do(es) not have a national identity. That it always wanted to be an empire or anything but not a nation of individuals who work on it.
The same probably can be told about British and our Brexit. I am Latvian but recently found that it is not wrong to declare my nationality as British since I identify myself as such. A weird thing.
These Russians are bold in stand g up to this problem...my heart goes out to them...now if only they can wake up the rest of the Russian people and let them see for themselves and know the truth...then maybe they can stop this barbaric war!!! Maybe then they can be free at sometime or another and live their lives more freely instead of being under a dictatorship that cares for no one not even their own people!!! Long live Ukraine!!!

I'm sorry but it's a veeery small manority of russians who think like that, vast majority of russians in Georgia came here only for life without sanctions, and ofcourse the fsb agents are here, they drink all day, attaking georgian buisnesses, demanding from Georgians to speak russian, they opened cafes in Batumi where local Geogians can't order in Georgian language, they support putin, paying taxes which means investing in war meanwhile living here and using our resourses, they bring here their imperialistic views and very shoked why Georgians don't greet them well, because every generation of my country have friend or relative who was fighting against russian invasion, or died in it, because thrugh out the history russia brought my country only death and suffering, and now they want to rewright the history by saying that until soviet union there wasn't such country as Georgia, we are the one of the oldest country whith the oldest culture!
P.s. please don't use the name "south osetia", russians came up with that name, it's Tskhinvali region, region of Georgia, such is Abkhazia
As Paris was the place to be in the 20s, San Francisco in the 60s,
Tbilisi will be seen as the most exciting place on earth in the 2020s.

I agree with Olga discrimination is not okay at all no matter what
Peace and freedom for every civilian they don’t deserve on what’s happening but zelensky he is not a angel or a hero like you think, the west media just covering for that man.
Oh my God, they do not flee Putin, they flee for comfort or self care. They have every right to, but the message is a stretch.
What's bad with fleeing for comfort to the other country, when in your country you can literally be imprisoned for "a wrong opinion".
@@Bornana7 as I stated, nothing. Just a different perspective.
You are not imprisoned just for a wrong opinion, it’s only valid for demonstrations, public activity, media.
Not that many of those who left have been vocal before anyway, the financial operations and operations in general are the catalyst for most middle class freelancers or businessmen.
You may be surprised how many zeddos actually left because of the exact same reason.
@fastovezz would you fight agaisnt a few thousands 30-years-old trained men in special equipment who have full rights to use unlimited violence towards you, knowing you could be sent to prison for a trifle where you're gonna be tortured? I mean it's easy to be "a fighter" in a democratic country, fighting against the system which opresses you in Twitter, knowing this system will defend all your rights, but when it comes to totalitarian and authoritarian states like Russia... Then there's the only one way out. A bloody senseless cruel revolution, but this revolution demands people to have nothing so they won't be afraid to lose anything. Just like the Arab spring.
my full respect for all of them. glad to see that there are russian people that are not influnced by their propaganda. grettings from 🇩🇪 bless ya all
This Tanya is really crazy. Poor children.
Wish they would of brought video evidence
As Russians says: Less people, more oxygen.
Russia become more unified and agressive, less westernized. Is it good for Russia? No. Is it good for the West? No.
On the other hand, russia faces demography disaster as young, educated people leave this country. This will be a huge issue as population is shrinking.
@@salad7776 lol occupied territories are counted as general population
@@salad7776This year Russia population will rise for 5-6 million people. We also have unique way to increase our GDP - buckle in the tank and starts drive west..GDP increase with every passing mile. Bear leave his lair, bro. He is angry, he is hungry, and he f** dont care what you think, sorry.
@@paulzx5034 I was born and lived in a socialist authoritarian country so I know this won't work, this experiment will only ruin entire generation(s).
@@salad7776 Capitalism was on the rise, bro. Not now. Nobody save you this time. Shiny West where you can escape does not exist anymore. Those who keep good realations with Russia will survive. Thats it.
DW: Please don’t over-dub in English. Please use original audio with English sub-titles. Thank you
The hardest thing to be a "good" Russian. Essentially always a suspect and belonging nowhere 💔
@8:14 Poor kid throwing a tantrum (and a pen).
Russia people should fight against fascist regime in Russia instead of fleeing their own country.they themselves must take responsibility 👍
You have not the least idea how insanely dangerous, corrupt and unimaginably evil the still Communist dogma system is. Unless you are physically there, Russia and China are so far beyond all comprehension as to defy any sane belief. To dare to speak anything not approved by these governments, you immediately get "disappeared".
These people are just traitors. If they were real Russians fighting for a good cause, they would never 'flee' from Russia. Navalny has never 'fled' from Russia. Now who are these people if not traitors?

simpleton.
Very very easy for you to say when 80% of people in Russia are brainwashed... In nazi Germany is was the same deal, of North Korea? All should stay and fight with what? A baseballbat? Dude, get real, empathy you have no idea what there situation is like.
The flag of St George! Interesting from a British perspective. There is a thread here worth investigating. Thanks DW. You’re simply brilliant!
The law of the universe is irreversible. One either listens to the best listener that feels and tells or die in vain.
The guy’s apartment doesn’t have heating.. at least it’s only heating, and not lack of heating, water, electricity AND missile strikes
Stay strong😔
I'm so sorry 😞 for all the young men and women that Died it's so sad 🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️😞🌹😥🙏🌹😥✝️🌹😥✝️ my ❤️🌹 goes out to all to all 🙏✝️ from 🇺🇸🙏✝️🌹
Wish people are more understanding and welkom to real Russians as them brave people 🙌🏼
Real Russians ? So if you support putin you're a fake Russian ?
@@Gnashercide yess supporting the mafia thief killer who own people use pressure isolated totally non benefit for Russia or for Russians just harm
@@CetinAmsterdam nope . I talked about real and "fake" russian. Theirs is no real or fake. Not because you support trump pr biden doesn't make you a fake American.
@@Gnashercide I know in Russia no chance you support other politics than Putin or having criticism cost you pressure jailed even killed as in North Korea dare to have your own opinion therefore it is fake politics and fake supporters fake system
Oh please, if they were brave they would have fought against Kremlin and Putin's support system 🙄
How can we help this people I want to help any way I can please let me know
I think we here in the US have very little actual understanding of life & politics in eastern Europe, Asia & Russia especially now. I used to but things have changed and the current US gov't & media are lying so much it's crazy!
I do. Your government isn't lying.
Last year I came back from Georgia , I didn't know that this year in Tbilisi these things will be happening .

I send lots of love 💙 and encouragement to the Russians who had to flee Russia for a better life in Georgia.
Thank you to all the Georgians who are helping Russian immigrants. 😀
@6:45 Tanya: Your kids would have to speak Georgian at school. Well, what language did you think would be spoken? How do you expect your kids to learn Georgian if you home school them?
There is no home schooling in georgia there are Russian schools and our government is Pro Russian
It is hard to leave your country, even harder to leave Europe, but, if necessary, come to Canada, we have lots of room and it is too cool to be hostile or hate. John M. Hill,author.
I want to immigrate to Canada from the US.
Please tell that to all the Russians in Canada making excuses or openly supporting Putin. It is absolutely ridiculous how affected they are by Russian propaganda even though they're so far away and Putin is not their ruler
God bless you free russians and georgians! Love and support 🇨🇳 💙💛
Seeing this type of stories, My Mother India is wonderful and with humanity and full of kindness.
Being one of her child I am really proud and thanks Almighty for born in India.
Your lovely india buys russian oil very cheaply now and therefor aids the war.
Wish thousands more felt the same as you as opposed to faking and using corruption to get to the West! Tell them it’s not worth it please
Give them the freedom to tell the truth though they still afraid….PEACE.
