"Occupation Dues" for tourists: how Russians insult Russians in Georgia
In Georgia, anti-Russian hysteria continues, to which even those to whom it is contraindicated even because of "selfish interest" are connected.
For example, the owners of a restaurant EZO in the Georgian capital Tbilisi first introduced a 20% “occupation fee” for all Russian citizens who would like to dine at this restaurant. Then they admitted that they took this step "hot-headed" and reversed their decision.
- quotes the owner of the restaurant named Gio New Newspaper.
Thus, abandoning the "occupation fee", Gio and his spouse Christo did not change their position. They hung a poster in English at the restaurant’s entrance, asking the question: “Do you know that Russia is an occupier?” And there are two possible answers: “Yes” - “Come in please”, “No” - “We can explain or choose another restaurant”.
By the way, the "occupation fee" Gio and Cristo will not be able to patent. Some 20 Georgian cafes and restaurants raised the price for Russian citizens by XNUMX%, for example, Gardens cafe in Batumi.
Of course, good culinary or trading skills do not mean the ability to understand policy. But such unfortunate patriots of Georgia should be reminded that Russian tourists make up a very noticeable part of those foreigners who visit Georgia for the purpose of relaxation.
In addition, Russia is the main buyer of Georgian products. And finally, there are a large number of Georgian citizens living in Russia who earn money, help their families, and it is unlikely they would like to encounter a similar attitude to themselves on Russian soil.

We are offended when tourists do not just ask, but demand a Russian menu, demand that we speak Russian. After all, these people, despite the occupation, come, relax - but there is no sympathy for our pain,
