Due to the recent events, how safe it is for an English speaking russian to move to and do business in Georgia?

Very safe unless things get worse between Georgia and Russia which seems unikely now as Georgia took a hit financially from events.

What is the probability of having your bank account closed because of nationality?

No issues as long as you don't do business in the breakaway regions of Georgia as they will close accounts of Russians like the central bank did back in 2007.

Do you think the risk is serious or there is nothing to be worried about?

There is nothing to be worried about. Being Russian in Georgia carries about the same risk as being Polish in West Midlands in UK
