Georgia court blocks deportation of Navalny volunteer to Russia, allows exit to third country

Tbilisi City Court ruled that Russian citizen Denis Kulanin, a former Navalny volunteer, may leave Georgia for a third country instead of being deported to Russia, with seven days to depart voluntarily. This deviates from typical Russian extradition patterns and signals Georgian judicial independence amid political pressure. The decision matters as it could set a precedent for other Russian activists facing deportation from Georgia.
