Russian publicist Aleksandr Arkhangelsky was denied entry to Georgia on the evening of April 18. Arkhangelsky said he was "thoroughly questioned about Abkhazia - what he was saying and what he did not say". After that, the publicist was told that he would not be allowed into the territory of Georgia and deported by the same plane. The reason for this decision was not explained to him. Arkhangelsky flew to Tbilisi to present the documentary he co-authored.
