So far scholars investigating Russian language in America have focused on the largest East Slavic communities in the north and northeast of the country. Since the 1990s, along with the growth of Metro Atlanta, the Russian-speaking diaspora has also increased. The sociolinguistic processes taking place in this community are related to the language choice in various domains of life, and to the transmission of the minority language (as a heritage language) to the younger generation. This article presents the results of the first stage of research on the family language policy of Slavic immigrants in Georgia based on quantitative and qualitative data related to self-assessment of knowledge of English and Russian languages depending on the sphere of life and type of speech activity (reading, writing, speaking, listening), motivation for the choice of the place of residence, social characteristics, ethnic composition of the family, participation in the cultural life of the diaspora, etc.
