GEORGIA: He was welding metal on a boat when we began to converse.
He said he recently got kicked out of Russia, where he was working in construction.
He said he didn’t have a visa and got into Russia via Belarus. He felt someone ratted on him.
He said the incident cost him $1,000, without giving details.
(While Russian fines for illegal immigrants are much lower, it is unclear if he had more fines, such as illegally crossing the border, etc.)
