Just checked, Georgia's population increased from 2.6 mln to 4 mln under Stalin. Maybe there was terror, but I wouldn't call it depopulated wasteland.

- specproc 5y agoYeah, disappointing from Rayfield, he's generally pretty well respected. The big depopulation of the 20th century came in the 90s, when a big chunk of the minorities and a lot of Georgians got out away from the civil war. It lost about a mil between 1990 and 2010[1], pretty dramatic for a country that's at 3.7ish today.
