  • Democratic Republic of Georgia (1918-1921) by Dr
    UDC 9 (479.22) 34 Democratic Republic of Georgia (1918-1921) by Dr. Levan Z. Urushadze (Tbilisi, Georgia) ISBN 99940-0-539-1 The Democratic Republic of Georgia (DRG. “Sakartvelos Demokratiuli Respublika” in Georgian) was the first modern establishment of a Republic of Georgia in 1918 - 1921. The DRG was established after the collapse of the Russian Tsarist Empire that began with the Russian Revolution of 1917. Its established borders were with Russia in the north, and the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in the south. It had a total land area of roughly 107,600 km2 (by comparison, the total area of today's Georgia is 69,700 km2), and a population of 2.5 million. As today, its capital was Tbilisi and its state language - Georgian. THE NATIONAL FLAG AND COAT OF ARMS OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA A Trans-Caucasian house of representatives convened on February 10, 1918, establishing the Trans-Caucasian Democratic Federative Republic, which existed from February, 1918 until May, 1918. The Trans-Caucasian Democratic Federative Republic was managed by the Trans-Caucasian Commissariat chaired by representatives of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. On May 26, 1918 this Federation was abolished and Georgia declared its independence. Politics In February 1917, in Tbilisi the first meeting was organised concerning the future of Georgia. The main organizer of this event was an outstanding Georgian scientist and public benefactor, Professor Mikheil (Mikhako) Tsereteli (one of the leaders of the Committee

DOI: http://doi.org/10.22364/luzv.5.06 Armed Forces of Georgian Democratic Republic in 1918–1921 Gruzijas Demokrātiskās Republikas bruņotie spēki 1918.–1921. gadā George Anchabadze, Doctor of History Sciences, Full professor Ilia State University, School of Arts and Sciences Kakutsa Cholokashvili Ave 3/5, Tbilisi 0162, Georgia E-mail: [email protected] The article is dedicated to the armed forces of the Georgian Democratic Republic (1918–1921). It shows the history of their creation and development, the composition and structure of the troops, as well as provides a brief insight into the combat path. It also shows the contradictions that existed between the socialist leadership of the country and a significant part of the officer corps, caused by ideological differences. The result of these contradictions were two forms of the armed organization of Georgia – the regular army and the People’s Guard, which caused discord in the armed forces. This circumstance, among other reasons, contributed to the military defeat of Georgia in the clash with Soviet Russia (1921). Keywords: Transcaucasia in 1918–1921, Georgian Democratic Republic, regular army of Georgia, the People’s Guard, The Soviet-Georgian War of 1921. Raksts veltīts Gruzijas Demokrātiskās Republikas bruņotajiem spēkiem 1918.–1921. gadā, tajā atspoguļota to izveidošanas un attīstības vēsture, kā arī karaspēka sastāvs un struktūra, bez tam īsumā raksturotas kaujas operācijas. Parādītas arī pretrunas, kas pastāvēja starp valsts sociālistisko vadību un lielu daļu virsnieku korpusa un kas izraisīja ideoloģiskas atšķirības. Šo pretrunu rezultāts bija divas Gruzijas bruņoto spēku organizatoriskās formas – regulārā armija un Tautas gvarde –, starp kurām pastāvēja nesaskaņas.

  • Soviet-Georgian War and Sovietization of Georgia, II-III. 1921
    Soviet-Georgian War and Sovietization of Georgia, II-III. 1921 La guerre soviéto-géorgienne et la soviétisation de la Géorgie (février-mars 1921) By Andrew Andersen and George Partskhaladze Revue historique des Armées Numéro 254, 1/2009 Photographs: private archive of Levan Urushadze Introduction In the year 1918, Georgia restored her independence from the Russian Empire. This became possible as a result of World War I - which endorsed a tremendous pressure on states with weak economies and social structure - one of which was Russia. Military defeat in combination with both economic and political failure, led to the collapse of the empire, undermined by the devastating war, and eventually led to the Revolution of 1917, as well as the establishment of a Bolshevik dictatorship in former the imperial centres, the civil war and secession of non-Russian peripheries. Initially, the Georgian elites were reluctant to separate from Russia. However, the disintegration of the Caucasus front, and the threat of invasions and chaos, forced them to build a state in an attempt to protect Georgia from both military and political challenges from the Bolsheviks, anti- Bolsheviks and the Turks, who claimed dominance over the South Caucasus. Azerbaijan and Armenia followed Georgia’s example1. Military parade in Tbilisi, January/1921 During the three years of independence, Georgia’s moderate socialist leadership were rather successful in the establishment of a democracy-track society with universal suffrage, democratically-elected legislature, freedom of speech and tolerance to both right- and left-wing opposition2. However, the development of democratic processes in the First Republic faced a 1 Stephen F.

  • 1 Nino Chikovani New Memory
    Nino Chikovani New Memory – New Identity: Active Forgetting in the Process of the Formation of New Memory (Georgia in the 1990s and 2000s) Abstract The paper discusses the problem of distancing from the past and strategies of forgetting which were used in Georgia in the last years of the USSR and the first years of independence. New future of the country required the “new past”. On the first stage of its construction which started from the end of the 1980s and lasted approximately a decade, active forgetting quite often expressed in the form of the revenge on the past was the main strategy of dealing with the Soviet past. On the next stage, the above- mentioned form was not abandoned, however, the accent in the politics of memory was shifted to the passive forgetting and the construction of new sites of memory. Key words: memory construction, active forgetting, sites of memory. Shared memory of the past is the main determinant of the collective identity. It bounds the group and forms collective identity. Exactly the memory enables us to comprehend our identity – both on the individual as well as on the group level (Assmann A., 2010; Assman J., 2010). The paper investigates the forms of distancing from the past, the means and methods of forgetting which were used in Georgia during the process of formation of the new memory. The study builds on Maurice Halbwachs’s idea of collective memory as a constructed phenomenon (Halbwachs, 1992). The problem is discussed through the concepts of active and passive forgetting, offered by Aleida Assman (Assmann A., 2010).

  • Dual Boundaries: the Mechanism of Boundary Construction Operating in Interethnic Settings in Georgia
    Review of European Studies; Vol. 13, No.1; 2021 ISSN 1918-7173 E-ISSN 1918-7181 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Dual Boundaries: The Mechanism of Boundary Construction Operating in Interethnic Settings in Georgia Ana Kirvalidze Correspondence: School of Arts and Sciences, Ilia State University, Kakutsa Cholokashvili Ave 3/5, Tbilisi 0162, Georgia. Received: November 4, 2020 Accepted: December 9, 2020 Online Published: December 17, 2020 doi:10.5539/res.v13n1p14 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/res.v13n1p14 Abstract This paper addresses the question of the boundary construction mechanism between different ethnic groups in Georgia. It demonstrates the duality of boundary construction strategies that operate distinctively in the public and private domains of life. By exploring this substantive issue, I utilize relatively new theoretical perspectives in the study of interethnic boundary construction by concentrating on its multilevel operational character. Drawing on rich data sources within a mixed method approach, I provide empirical evidence concerning how ethnic and national codes of identity are negotiated and combined in everyday interethnic settings. The analyses focus on three ethnic groups residing in the Republic of Georgia – Georgians, Armenians, and Azerbaijanis. Keywords: ethnicity, ethnic boundary, identity, religion, interethnic cohesion, private-public spheres 1. Introduction What mostly characterises ethnic boundary theory is its linearity. In almost all theoretical models, which explore the mechanism of ethnic boundary construction, the main question is directed at the set of factors defining the ethnic closure. According to the approved theoretical schemes, ethnicity, as well as ethnic identity, is always defined through a certain repertoire of symbolic codes without considering how each of these codes operate and become interpreted at different levels of life (Shils 1957, Eisenstadt 1998, Eisenstadt & Giesen 1995).

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17807/orbital.v8i3.839 Abstract: The article deals with political and educational-cultural situation in Georgia during the reign of King Vakhtang VI (XVIII century). It describes the book on chemistry compiled and published by Vakhtang VI. The methods of chemical experiments highlighted in the book are compared to the methods of early alchemists, such as: Jābir ibn Hayyān, Muhammad ibn Zakariyā Rāzī, Liebau and others. The article summarizes the methods to which Vakhtang VI agreed and also indicates the techniques, slightly differently presented in his records. The paper also points out how the King could get information on chemistry. It gives an assumption that the scientific information most likely was brought by travelers who were close to the king or was accumulated from the early period and was also linked with journeys.
