Can Russian citizens apply for a new international passport from abroad while in Tbilisi, or do they need to apply in person in Georgia?

TL;DR
Based on recent traveler reports, applying for a Russian international passport from abroad often did not work: online submissions failed and documents were rejected by the system. In practice, people waited until they were back in Georgia and applied in person there.
