Russians in Georgia are one of the historically established ethnic communities of the republic.
According to the 2014 Georgia Census , the third largest ethnic minority of the Republic of Georgia and one of the Russian diasporas in the CIS countries outside modern Russia . Economic decline and ethnic cleansing led to mass emigration of the Russian and other European populations, including the Georgian population itself from Georgia in the early 1990s. This, in turn, led to a significant aging of the Russian population and the deterioration of its demographic indicators, although there is some stabilization after 2000 . The share of Russians in the population has significantly decreased: from 10.1% in the early 1960s to 0.7% in 2014.
