I've been in Georgia a few years after the 2008 war and it was as safe as it gets. Only the younger people either didn't speak or didn't want to speak Russian. After 2022 there was an influx of Russian expats to the country, so the chances of finding someone to talk to should be even higher.
Even aside from the border issues, there's definitive unrest right now. They've been spraying people with straight-up Camite. Definitely not recommendable just based on that.
It's a shame, they have such an interesting history, and one that goes way way further back than most would guess.
Ah, you're talking about the anti-government protests which started a year ago after the pro-Russian party took power. That's a valid point, even though as far as I can see the protests have waned since then. The anniversary event this November was peaceful.
