Russians In Georgia
There is a small Russian population in Georgia of less than 0.5% of the total population. For many years, Georgia was a part of the Russian Empire, and later the Soviet Union. As the two countries share a border, many Russians settled in various regions of Georgia. In recent years, the number of Russians living in Georgia has sharply declined. In 2022, thousands of Russians fled to Georgia, especially Russian men of fighting age, in order to escape mobilization in the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. During the Soviet period, most Russians were urban dwellers and made up a disproportionately high percentage of the urban population. In 1959, there were more than 125,000 Russians in Tbilisi alone (18,1%). In addition to that, Russians made up 36,8% of the population in Sokhumi (making them the largest ethnic group there at the time), 31,6% in Rustavi, 26,8% in Poti and 25,6% in Batumi.
