Abstract. Russian-Georgian relations throughout the post-Soviet period experienced stages of confrontation and normalization. After the 2008 war, political contacts were virtually frozen. Over the past few years, the country’s government has demonstrated a consistent pragmatic position aimed at normalizing bilateral relations. Data 2022–2023 show growth in the trade, economic and tourism sectors. However, as sociological surveys show, a fairly large percentage of Georgian citizens express dissatisfaction with the political course of the ruling Georgian Dream party. Against the backdrop of the upcoming parliamentary elections, most of the government’s steps are perceived by part of society as “pro-Russian”. On the other hand, among part of society there is still a high demand for normalization of relations between Russia and Georgia.

Keywords: Georgia, Russia, visa-free regime, “Georgian Dream”, economic development, public opinion
