Romani people in Georgia (Georgian: ბოშები) are citizens of Georgia which are of Romani descent. 604 Romani people officially live in Georgia,[1] most of which live in Tbilisi.[2][3]
Many of these Roma came from other parts of the former Soviet Union. A large influx of Romani people fled eastern Ukraine and Moldova to Georgia due to the Soviet famine of 1930–1933.[4][5]
