http://es.tsu.ge/index.php/es/article/view/178
<p>The influx of Russian migrants after Russian full-fledged invasion of Ukraine has presented<br>Georgia with a complex array of challenges and opportunities. Georgia has emerged as a secure<br>haven and an economic destination for Russians, leading to a mix of positive economic gains and<br>societal disparities. Consequently, this influx has introduced a new set of security concerns for<br>the nation, prompting a pragmatic assessment by both the government and the populace. The<br>government&#39;s approach is driven by a desire to secure electoral support, leveraging the argument<br>that the surge in Russian migration has bolstered economic collaboration with Russia, thereby<br>fostering economic growth and stability. Conversely, the general population&#39;s outlook is marked<br>by a sense of ambivalence. On one hand, there is apprehension about the implications of Russian<br>migration on economic ties with Russia, while on the other hand, there is resistance due to the<br>adverse effects on daily life, including heightened prices, intensified competition in the labor<br>market, and an augmented sense of insecurity. According to statistical data, the initial economic<br>windfall from Russian migration appears to be a one-time occurrence, with limited potential for<br>similar growth in subsequent years, as projected by economists. Furthermore, the inflow of<br>Russian migrants has deepened Georgia&#39;s economic reliance on Russia, potentially exposing the<br>nation to risks associated with Russia&#39;s strategic influence over Georgia&#39;s critical infrastructure.<br>This growing dependency could lead to significant long-term disadvantages, both economically<br>and in terms of national security.</p>Kornely Kakachia
