An influx of Russians into Georgia since Russia invaded Ukraine has stirred anger and fear in Georgia, which has been trying to escape the Kremlin's grip since 2008.
Fifteen years after Russia invaded neighboring Georgia, many in the country fear President Vladimir Putin has launched a new 'quiet invasion' focused on disinformation campaigns and anti-Western propaganda in an attempt to extend Russia's reach.Russia seized 20% of Georgia's territory during a five-day battle in 2008, upending the lives of many, including 87-year-old Valya Vanishvili.
And that line has to be kept so that we do not have incidents in the future that would allow Russia to use their favorite doctrine of protecting Russian-speaking citizens,' Zourabichvili said. 'And everybody has to know: where is the line between being a foreigner that is accepted in a country and being an invader that is not accepted, even if it's a soft invader.'Some say the presence of so many Russians has already changed Georgia.
