A recording of the beginning of the conflict with the Russian-speaking tourist in a Georgian hotel has appeared.

In the recording that preceded the beating of a Russian-speaking tourist by a wedding participant in Telavi, the girl waves from the window to the participants of the celebration taking place under the windows of the hotel room, but in response, she faces accusations of having poured water on the equipment and insults. The victim herself stated that they did not provoke the wedding participants.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the beating of the Russian-speaking tourist by Georgian resident Giorgi Chigladze caused a stir on social media. Georgian police stated that Chigladze attacked the tourist due to insults directed at the wedding participants. The victim's friend claims that the conflict arose because of the Russian language. A march took place in Tbilisi, where participants expressed support for Chigladze. The court in Telavi released Chigladze on bail. In court, he stated that he regretted what happened.

A recording of the beginning of the conflict has appeared online

A video of the beginning of the conflict in the Georgian city of Telavi has appeared online, after which the Russian-speaking tourist had her nose broken; it was posted by the Telegram channel Mash.

According to the recording, the girl is simply waving her hand from the window of the room to the wedding taking place under the hotel room windows. But she is accused of having poured water (on the equipment) from the window. The girl tries to find out what they are accusing her of. In response, they say to her: "Come into the room." "But we are in it," she replies.

After the girl expresses her outrage at how the participants of the festive event are speaking to her, she receives insults in return. Then the participants of the wedding below forbid her to stick her head out of the window. The tourist warns that they are recording and asks to repeat the insults on record.

"Caucasian Knot" does not publish the recording due to the use of profanity by both sides of the conflict.

The victim of the incident is a 30-year-old citizen of Russia and Turkey, Alena Nesteruk, according to "News Georgia".

The victim stated that they did not provoke the wedding participants

Nesteruk said that she has been visiting Georgia for the eighth time and has never encountered such a situation before. Alena reported that she was with a group of five girls celebrating a friend's birthday. At the same time, a wedding was taking place in the hotel.

"I do not believe that we provoked anyone. We did not do what is written on the internet: we did not splash, we did not pour a bucket," said the victim of the man's blow in the hotel in Kakheti, Alena Nesteruk.

The victim admits that when opening a bottle of champagne, drops of liquid could have fallen down, but she considers this unlikely.

"Perhaps some drops fell down, as the other side claims. However, if you think about it, this is unlikely: we have a roof and a balcony, we did not go anywhere, we were just looking out the window. Perhaps this misunderstanding arose between the parties. Maybe there was some verbal polemic. In any case, our side, our girls, did not use vulgar language, they did not swear. The other side started expressing themselves first," she says in a video published by Paper Kartuli.

According to her, hotel staff advised them not to stick their heads out of the window and not to go outside, but did nothing to protect the tourists from the attack.

"We came to this country with respect, not for the first time, and we know how to behave here. But the other side behaved very aggressively. When the man burst into the room — we have video of everything that happened — he, in my opinion, had inadequate eyes. We were all scared," Alena said.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that on July 11 in Tbilisi, participants of a memorial event for fighters killed in combat actions in Ukraine held a march near the parliament building. A conflict occurred between the march participants and a group of tourists . Georgian media stated that the tourists were from Russia.

The incident caused a stir on social media. Commentators debated its causes. Some users believed that the tourists merely responded to the aggression of the demonstrators, while others claimed that it was their behavior that caused the incident.
