Protesters held signs with messages like “Russian warship, go fuck yourself,” “Abkhazia is Georgia,” “Russia is an occupier,” and “Go back to your fucking country.” Additionally, they carried photos of Abkhazia and the 2008 Russo-Georgian War, and played the Georgian national anthem, according to the outlet Batumelebi.
“We’re the Soviet Union. We’re a single country,” another Russian passenger reportedly said.
I guess there are still plenty of Russians with that opinion. Sad.

Good, let’s isolate them. They can visit Siberia if they want a vacation. North Korea is nice as well I bet.
What can these tourists realistically do, though? It’s not like Russians haven’t been protesting against the war and I’m pretty sure most people living in a dictatorship don’t have much of an option anyway
Although that’s true, in that case I guess the issue is that exactly these tourists appear to be pro-war. For example, one Russian tourist said to a Georgian protester, “We are the Soviet Union. We are a single country”.
yeah i don’t understand how anyone can treat ANY Russian with “hospitality” right now… if they think they have the right to just kill anyone they want, i don’t think they should be treated with civility anywhere…
To be fair, there are also Russians who oppose the war and openly speak out. Many also leave the country to escape the draft office and/or economic despair. We shouldn’t pidgeonhole an entire nation.
unfortunately that’s how nations work… we sort of are forced to treat one another that way until things get fixed… you see? otherwise what’s a nation…
i think a lot of Russians are about to learn that being Russian isn’t just a part of their online profile

It was done many times for Americans if it’s so important to you. Two years into war and Russian trolls still cannot get their propaganda straight.
They don’t care if their propaganda is correct is the issue. It’s often use arguments because other people may believe it, not because they do. They don’t care one way or another about invasions, but they will use the argument that it’s bad when it’s useful to the because other people believe invasion is bad.
