but the restrictions on press freedom in russia heavily impeded his work. there are many georgians risking their lives in ukraine to stop russia's war of aggression. the fallen soldier, w. rutisse. connie was a friend of e gore's. you guys some fox though, must have some of my closest friends are now actually fighting my own countrymen who are part of this aggressive invasion of ukraine. i thought a bit of recycled, i save of grain and that makes the tragedy 10 times worse. my, this is a diluted people like this deserve respect. a, their families deserve all the support they could get a but from the people as well as from the georgia government of him. i hope they get it. what i read was totally the war against ukraine is also a war against georgia. i now got a new showed up at the y, and i go to the georgia has experienced war itself with russia in recent memory.

following that invasion in august 2008. the russian military did not fully withdraw and the regions of south ho, sacha and kazi, are still occupied. there's wide spread fear that moscow could occupy the whole of georgia under one would have been since moving to georgia. e gore has led the caucus as division of the free russia foundation and independent organisation funded by donations. the group promotes democratic development in russia and supports opposition to putin. these flowers are in remembrance to exxon about lena. the independent russian journalist was killed during shelling by russian forces while reporting from cave in his room with hooton's regime is not only killing ukrainians. they're also killing russians in ukraine, that thou, as many of them are in cave and other ukrainian cities. but that's for market they're trying to help a better because they now see the country as their home. that them, if i am gorman,

the war has also made life more dangerous. for many russians in russia, around 40000 of them fled to georgia in the 1st weeks of the war. their 1st port of call is often the free russia foundation. igor, corrupt evan. his staff helped the newer bibles to find their feet in georgia. the 1st thing igor has to explain to his compatriots is why they are not always welcomed with open arms in georgia. in that of the ships will go flu shipped by tens of thousands of russians have already arrived with them. put some people here are afraid that potent could invade to rescue them. now that was said, that is the way it always goes. that's why we often here we go back to russia and take on putin, why have you come to georgia to our tampa to cobbs? freedom was at stake and russia. he was a member of an opposition party and active in the anti war movement. and one day,

a heavily armed special police unit was standing at his door. but he said we were in the loop. the police were round for days to ring. after i left the country, they even asked my relatives and but my whereabouts think it was closer to you. yeah. ah. for my own sources informed me that the authorities were preparing criminal charges against me. d. o gold now. he nor yet prost porno still i realized it would be more effective to leave and continue my work here. you can go to prison. god co video critique followed by the name of stems from his english vizier, christiane, and av. as a photojournalist. he was interrogated by the f. s. b security service who tried to blackmail him into becoming an informant. he fled to georgia 6 months ago. after the war broke out his girlfriend, lisa followed him. he is emily's and i was afraid i would never see vesee again. we

did wish of i saw her mother didn't want the family to be separated. so she came to georgia to with lease as younger siblings. it's me if that invite a thing to me was that we are all together with them and the but you mentioned to him, you haven't understand that you can be arrested at any time in russia. the more than more have read that yet hung you boy. my man, ah, the fact that lisa is in a relationship with me is reason enough ease of re more boss missed in the honda because the thoughts on that chain of some, like i say in moscow, tanya worked as a nutritionist. she separated from her husband a while ago. he supports the children with his income. look on in the young

to attend school here yasha edlio show would have to speak georgian. so tanya is homeschooling them at the kitchen table. this song lends itself to spelling practice on that if they study here, it's about piece of yeah. and that, well if and material things don't matter that you didn't know what the me love a family thing that matters. so business i, even though i was neither was leaving russia and giving up their old life has been a sacrifice for each family member their 1st days and georgia. we're particularly hard the. yeah. they said that was we learned in the crack of dawn. the 1st place we stadium was unbearable, it was minus 6 outside, but there was no heating in the building and the toilet was on the street. this rented apartment is nice and warm. everything works and the children have their own room. the did was very low. you,

17 year old marina helps to cook some traditional bush, a taste of home that will do them all good. for the last that way there's marina had to leave her friends behind venice. it's hard for every one. the children are aware that we've lost something before the left of them will be good at him. ah, tanya shares the 5 room apartment with olga barbara nova and her 2 children. money is tight. i didn't, i didn't. what marina has made a start with the bush that like tanya and her children, olga also comes from moscow. she was a successful business woman. they are producing high tech wheelchairs. after she took part in anti war protests, the authorities put pressure on her and her family. she gave everything up, but she doesn't want to stay in georgia unless you see the plaintiff. but there's a notice up here in the corridor saying that 20 percent of georgia is occupied and

russians are therefore not welcome here. but i'm not ashamed of being russian. i didn't vote for this president and his government. i'm not responsible for their actions. with the bush is ready in time for lunch, tanya can imagine living for a long time in georgia with her children. ideally she'd work as a nutritionist for children and families, but there's as long as it me, i can help mother say a teen. which would also give me a big list. you said it might not work out as we not really welcome as ration saith of masters is amazing of activities, which if we need to be prepared for that. so kind of like the faddle think, ah, tanya has baked a cake for her eldest daughter, lisa lives with her boyfriend, vasa, the photo journalist on the opposite side of the city.

georgia is a popular refuge for russians as they can enter the country without a visa, a policy that georgia hoped would attract russian tourists. now, many political refugees are coming instead are i am for to cobb and alexi, ballasa in arms are among them. they're both opposed to the war and are members of the opposition from moscow. both were threatened with prison there and fled to tbilisi at very short notice. but these posters all over the city are a rude awakening. and english and russian, they promised discounts for concerts in russian. but instead the q r codes take you to this war footage from ukraine with the message. it's not just putin's fault, never before the so it's a kind of trap that the q r code conceals what's actually behind it. it says it's about a music platform. what of over them are in russian. many music platforms are no

longer available. those like but it's a kind of bait mancha at the video and all this video is aimed at old russians. ah, of course i can't agree with everything in its cynical abaca. yeah, yeah. but i certainly don't deny responsibility for what's happening. mccoy se, this is a, but we are all responsible love of c a r t m has very limited savings and is glad that his friends were able to help him find a cheap apartment. the rents for russians are often overpriced dish, so they school know this is my room, but those are not my things. sure. i could have it. here is the bed. oh was that the apartment is in a poor state. the owners have lived abroad for many years. there's no shower, no hot water, and no heating. some of the window panes are missing and it's cold. art him can't afford even minor repairs. he arrived here from russia with no more than
