So you're a Russian with itchy feet and Georgia's on your mind?
Thinking of ditching the borscht for some khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread, oh yeah!) and swapping the Siberian tundra for the stunning Caucasus mountains? Hold your horses (or should we say, Georgian warhorses?) because while heading to Georgia is definitely a good call, there are a couple of things to consider first.

Visa-Free Vacation or Bureaucratic Bonanza?
The good news, comrade, is that visas are about as welcome in Georgia as bad karaoke renditions of "Those Were the Days" (though, that might be a good listen for the flight). As of now, Russians can vacation in Georgia visa-free for up to a year.
Sounds peachy, doesn't it? Except there's a tiny wrinkle – it's not exactly a year-long free-for-all. To keep things legit, you gotta do a "visa run" every year. Basically, a quick scoot across the border (Armenia's a popular choice) and back to reset the clock. Think of it as a fun game of Georgian border tag!
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
Important Note: While things are chill right now, Georgia-Russia relations can be a bit of a rollercoaster ride. So, keep an eye on the news before you book that plane ticket.
Should You Pack a Ushanka for Your Georgian Getaway?
Probably not. Georgia enjoys a much more pleasant climate than most of Russia. Think sunshine, vineyards, and dips in the Black Sea – a far cry from the frozen tundra.
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
But hey, if you find comfort in your trusty fur hat, who are we to judge? Just don't be surprised if you get a few raised eyebrows.
