Russian nationalist Dmitry Demushkin was denied entry to Georgia for unclear reasons, as he reported on Telegram. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia confirmed that he was not detained, but simply not allowed to enter.

Details
"I was flying on business. Tickets, hotels - everything is in place. They refuse to explain the reason for the detention in russian. Georgia is not a hospitable country," the russian nationalist said in a post.
The Georgian Interior Ministry denied the information about the detention and said that Demushkin was only denied entry to the country.
Addendum
Demushkin said on his Telegram channel that Georgian law enforcement officers met him right at the plane's gate and began checking his documents, which lasted several hours. In the end, he was denied entry to the country and put on a return flight to russia. Currently, the Russian nationalist is trying to find out who denied him entry to Georgia and why.
For reference
Dmitry Demushkin holds nationalist views and has advocated the creation of a Russian national state. In the past, he organized the so-called "russian marches". In his opinion, Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians are one people.
He has not publicly expressed his position on Russia's war against Ukraine, but considers the actions of the Russian authorities to be wrong, as they have actually only strengthened anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine
Recall
The people of Georgia, unlike the authorities, actively support Ukraine. Georgians have held rallies of thousands in support of our country, hosted Ukrainian refugees, and recently raised funds for generators.
In addition, according to a rough estimate, about 1,500 Georgian volunteers are fighting on the side of Ukraine.
Official Tbilisi does not always behave unequivocally either. Georgia has condemned Russia's recognition of the DPR and LPR, condemned the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and did not recognize the pseudo-referendums in the occupied territories.
At the same time, Georgia refused to impose economic sanctions against russia, arguing that it was necessary to "proceed from its national interests".
