Abstract

Since the Russian attack on Ukraine, as many as 100,000 citizens of the Russian Federation may have migrated to Georgia to avoid military service or to escape the impact of Western sanctions on their employment prospects. While Russian political activists abroad have received some attention, the reception in Georgia of other Russian émigré groups remains understudied. This article distinguishes four groups of Russian newcomers to Georgia based on their class and regional affiliations. It analyses their relationships and how Georgian government officials and citizens receive each group. Regardless of such categorizations, the massive, temporary and uncertain presence of Russian citizens affiliated with a large country currently attacking a smaller country whose sovereignty it does not recognize erodes the foundations of hospitality, which is held in high esteem in Georgia.

在热情与敌意之间:格鲁吉亚的俄罗斯公民
自俄罗斯攻击乌克兰以来,可能有多达10万名俄罗斯联邦公民移民到格鲁吉亚,以避免服兵役,或逃避西方制裁对其就业前景的影响。虽然俄罗斯在国外的政治活动人士受到了一些关注,但格鲁吉亚对其他俄罗斯移民团体的接受情况仍未得到充分研究。本文根据阶级和地区关系将俄罗斯新移民格鲁吉亚分为四类。它分析了他们之间的关系,以及格鲁吉亚政府官员和公民如何对待每一个群体。无论这种分类如何,隶属于一个正在攻击一个它不承认其主权的小国的大国的俄罗斯公民的大量、暂时和不确定的存在,侵蚀了格鲁吉亚高度尊重的好客的基础。
