2:52Now PlayingA “fairytale” like retreat in the country of Georgia has become a space where some Russians go to escape conscription in the war in Ukraine.
RELATEDZelenskyy to CongressUkraine 'will never surrender'
It’s a magical, rustic kingdom where an enchanted fairy-tale forest opens up to reveal waterfalls and mountain lakes; where a bubbling brook flows softly underneath dappled light as farm animals graze freely around your feet; where the vibe is creative-whimsical-cum-merry; where eco-warriors, artists and coders can learn new skills and debate the merits of democracy and solitude while baking artisanal bread.
And where even rank-and-file Russian passport holders can temporarily feel free from the pressure of the government fighting in their name in Ukraine – as well as from all those who say they are not doing enough to stop it.
At least, that's the sales pitch for Chateau Chapiteau.
