Russians. Georgians have food and wine, and resort capabilities similar to Balkans/Crimea. No more than this. No industry or science or good edu. Just another Montenegro, but without EU support. Almost all ex-Soviet republics are shtholes today. Except maybe Turkmenistan (because of natural gas, but with NKorean - style govt). Belarus and Kazakhstan are OK, because they are "friends" and sponsored by Kremlin in various ways (and Kazakhstan have quite good govt by MiddleAsia standards too.) Balts on EU/USA payroll, they only way of living, Estonia slightly better than other two - they get money from Swedes too. All others - from Ukraine and Moldova to Tajikistan and Armenia lost a lot. If there's a thing with which all Russians agree - from left to right - we don't wants to feed anyone no more.
Still Georgia is nice place to visit.
