You were lucky to see this community from inside (as far as it's possible for a stranger). Great story and images.

they have no doubt that the commune will be reborn - it's possible. If the community abroad survives, some of them can return when distances mean less. Remote jobs get more common, flights get cheaper, Georgia gets better infrastructure, living in the harsh climate gets easier thanks to new technologies. If the community is open to technologies (despite the traditional ways of living), it's possible one day. Cheaper costs of living in Georgia (than in Canada, for example) and returning to their historical place can be reasons.
