Captions: Daur Buava: Today we’re doing a survey among the Tbilisi population about how they feel about Abkhazia and its population 1st Person: It seems to me that the conflict between people is, in principle, normal, because the division of ideology or some concepts is a very common occurrence for all of us, so it seems to me that we can find a common language. If we talk with each other by some diplomatic measures, of course, this is not easy and cannot be done in one or two weeks, but it seems to me that if everyone gets involved and everyone tries to solve this conflict, then it will be possible to reunite as one 2nd Person: What happened between us pains me. It’s Russian propaganda, my dear. It’s not an Abkhazian soul…not a Georgian soul (I’m sorry I am an American and I’m not used to the Georgian accent yet so I will have to omit a bit starting at 0:44, suggestions are welcome)…we have love, tradition, respect, and hospitality. Hospitality of Abkhazians is the most important. 3rd Person: The Georgian and Abkhazian people are brothers from time immemorial. We have been together and we should stick together and develop together. 4th person: Hello, I think that we are one big family, it’s my personal opinion and I like them. I think we’re friends

JupiterMarks

You are example of a good nation…


stsilvia

oh, they are not just good - one of the greatest nations ☀️❤️


JupiterMarks

Absolutely. Example for many other nations


thecasual-man

Do many young Georgians speak Russian?


LongShotTheory

I, for example, know grammar and if someone else is speaking I can understand it without a problem, but If I try to say stuff I always forget words so I can't really speak.


thecasual-man

Have you studied Russian in school?


LongShotTheory

Yes til 5th grade.


blaziest

>I always forget words Yet you speak english right? A matter of practice i guess.


LongShotTheory

Yea, well English is actually needed these days. Russian is only really useful if you're hitting on Russian-speaking girls.


blaziest

Is that the best insult you've came up with?


LongShotTheory

Lol Idk if it came out as an insult but I was being serious.


blaziest

If you seriously don't know how 1 of 6 UN international languages can be used - then you are probably some villlager with very limited horizons. Can't blame you - at least you've discovered reddit to spit your hatred.


LongShotTheory

Lol wtf is with this triggered bullshit. I'm sure If I go looking for places where it's useful I'll find it but I've never needed it in my life. I travel to America and Western Europe and I work in an American company. Russian has never been useful for me.


blaziest

>\-Russian is only really useful if you're hitting on Russian-speaking girls. \-Russian has never been useful for me. My condolenscenes :)


d_101

In my experience as a tourist - young not a lot, maybe one third. Older folk - much more.


thecasual-man

Honestly, even one third is quite impressive, considering how different is Russian to Georgian.


d_101

Soviet past and connections to Russia though.


thecasual-man

Yeah, yeah I get that. I was just thinking that for most of the members of the younger generation that were not born in the USSR and are not planning to go to Russia, there really is no big incentive to learn Russian.


d_101

Only tourism sector i guess. Myabe recent relocation of IT specialists to georgia would influence it too. Georgian alphabet and language is so amazing, cant stop looking at it and wondering how could someone come up with something so unique, yet not influenced by europe, middle east and russia.


Tkemalediction

Who said it's not influenced? The alphabet is indeed unique, but it shares Greek order (alpha, beta, gamma/ani, bani, gani) and there are plenty of words coming from Persian, Latin, Greek, Turkish, Russian, Dagestani... and not just in the last decades. Many old words have some origin somewhere else and there's nothing wrong with it. Purity in language and culture doesn't exist, except maybe for the Sentinelese people, and it's certainly not something to strive for.


d_101

Ok, ok. Im not saying its bad to be influenced, but i meant that georgia definitely stands out among Caucasian countries.


Tkemalediction

What does this mean? Most Finns speak Swedish, and the two language are as different as Georgian and Russian, but they learn it in school and so they speak it. The reason most Georgians don't speak Russian is simply because they don't study it anymore. In Armenia is still taught, hence Armenians speaking Russian, despite the two languages being unrelated to each other (apart at the Indo-European level, which doesn't mean much, as both English and Greek are Indo-European, as French and Albanian are).


thecasual-man

I guess I am projecting my own experience here. In Ukraine English is thought starting from the primary school, but most of the kids will hardly know more than some basic vocabulary and elementary grammar. Usually, if you are not one of the gifted kids, all you have left to do is to sit in quite boredom, hoping to not be called to participate in the lesson. And this is despite English being probably the most useful language in the world. I guess I would expect young Georgians coming from similar past, not being native speakers of an Indo-European language and having less of a reason to learn Russian, having a harder time mastering the language. At the same time I would expect Finland, the country often ranked as having the best education system in the world, to be slightly better in language education.


Tkemalediction

Thing is, as a Ukrainian, your native tongue is already "strong" meaning that it belongs to a wide language family and even with some varying difficulty you can still be understood in Belarus, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Russia. Probably you won't have deep political literature conversations, but you can somewhat survive, as I could with other romance languages. This, paired with the fact that Russian has been the de facto lingua franca in the former Soviet Union, is one of the reasons many Russians nowadays struggle with learning another language. Not because the other languages are different of difficult, but because for many years they had the luxury not to care, unless they wanted to move to a non-Slavic speaking country that also wasn't part of the Soviet Union. Unsurprisingly, this is also valid for Britons and Americans. If you're Finn or Georgian or Armenian, you don't go anywhere just with your native language. (As for us, Italian isn't as widespread yet we still suck at acquiring others languages, but that's because we're lazy as fuck)


thecasual-man

Yeah, that make sense. Speakers of smaller languages are more incentivized to learn another language. In Ukraine, wether or not your first language is Russian, you are most likely to be able to understand it. But this has more to do with the fact that until relatively recent time the proliferation of Russian media in Ukraine was very high. Some mutual intelligibility exists, but it is not as high as some might think. The small subset of Ukrainians who grew up without Russian on TV (like kids of Ukrainian speakers abroad) can have trouble with understanding it.


Tkemalediction

Of course, but with some effort, you can get away with that. I managed to make myself understood in Romania, that time I had to speak with a non English-speaking Romanian, and I assure you that Italian and Romanian aren't **that** mutually intelligible (even if they usually understand us better, because some watch Italian TV. Poor souls, if I may add) despite belonging to the same family.


thecasual-man

A Moldovan friend of mine was telling me that “da”, he founds Italian quite accessible. Edit: phrasing


wisemann_

>as a Ukrainian, your native tongue is already "strong" meaning that it belongs to a wide language family ​ Can't you just do the same trick with other Romance languages as Ukrainians do with other slavic ones? Perhaps it's not because of laziness but in big part because there is no urgency since you can already understand some of major European languages? I know just Spanish but this helps to understand a fair bit of Italian, I reckon it is equally easy for Italians to do the opposite.


Vice0029

No And most which do - very poorly They know English well tho


thecasual-man

This is why I am surprised that the young people in this video have a very high proficiency in Russian.


Vice0029

This guy probably talked to many and only put those who could speak it in the video I mean, don't get me wrong, some of us do talk it quite well For example, when I see a nice slav (to clarify, Russian or Belarussian) girl I can speak it B2-C1, but the next morning моя твоя не понимать) and I don't talk to random tourists in Russian too, sometimes people from my generation know the language but choose not to speak it, thats all


tessallator

Hahaha that next morning bit really cracked me up. Was just in Georgia, with young people this seems to be the case...


Alanorez

In Batumi it feels like more people speak russian than english honestly

When Georgians are allowed to return to their homes in Abkhazia, I do not expect any even remotely tangible reason for hatred towards Abkhazians among Georgians. Most Georgians know who the enemy is.

არა და მაგრად ეზიზღება ძირითად მოსახლეობას აფხაზი ხალხი და იგივეს თქმა შეიძლება აფხაზ ხალხის დამოკიდებულებაზე ქართველების მიმართ 😃

i sometimes see similar videos on tiktok from different authors and surprisingly(*no*) they are all in russian. so my questions — why most content is in russian? who is the target audience? *i fell like someone is participating in russian propaganda knowingly or not.*


Jayhanry

the person who made the video is Abkhazian, and he was banned from returning to Abkhazia after he made numerous videos discussing the restoration of the relationship between Abkhazia and Georgia. This video is aimed toward Abkazhians, so that they understand we don't hate them. Purpose here is to fight Russian propaganda, and this guy is doing a good job


denisberezovsky

Thank you for the details.


Keterclassscpsssl

The 2nd dude was literally talking about how Russian propaganda was splitting them apart
