I thought that Georgia was the only FSU country with no restrictions on exporting Soviet-era items. I usually take at least a carry-on, if not a suitcase-full of things home with me each trip. Many of the items also include Imperial Russian badges and medals and I have never had a problem. I've only been asked to open my bags once or twice in Georgia, but nearly always in my transit airports. No problems. I did have a problem once when I had some Bronze Age daggers in my check-in luggage and I won't make that mistake again. Medals and badges, no problem. Antiquities, BIG problem.
