The General Characterization of the Work

Urgency of the problem Despite the fact that several works have been
published recently in Georgia on the distinguished representatives of the
Georgian political emigration, research of different issues reflected in the
literature of emigrants have remained as «white spots» until today. How the
issue of the Georgian and Caucasian history have been reviewed in the
emigrant literature is one of the abovementioned questions. Research of this
and other questions from this point of view is extremely significant for the
Georgian historical science. Namely, it will contribute to the correction of
those gross «mistakes» which had been made by the so-called «Soviet
historiography» during 70 years of the soviet domination. All the more, such
distinguished scholars as Mikheil (Mikhako) Tsereteli, Zurab Avalishvili,
Shalva Beridze, Grigol Peradze, Michael Tarkhnishvili, Kalistrate Salia,
Markoz Tugushi, Alexsandre Manvelishvili, Mikheil Mouskheli
(Muskhelishvili), etc. lived in emigration. The objective of the present
work is to fill the existed gap. Namely, we have studied how the questions
of the history of Georgia and the Caucasus of the XVIII-XX centuries were
presented in the Georgian emigrant literature.

Objective, impartial representation of the abovementioned topic
is extremely important especially today, when Georgia has entered the
irreversible path of strengthening of the national statehood again, when
objective representation of 200 years history of the Georgian national
liberation movement should play a crucial role in bringing up of the future
generations with patriotic aspiration.

The objective and goals of the research The objective of the presented
work is to study how some important questions of the history of Georgia and
the Caucasus of the XVIII-XX centuries have been reflected in the Georgian
emigrant literature. Besides the basis of the source studies used by the
emigrant authors is given as well. For this purpose we have studied a number
of works of the foreign authors as well as the documentary sources.

Besides, how the Georgian emigrant authors reviewed the notion
of a nation, the nations rights and the question of the nation’s
self-determination is shown in the work. These topics are presented on the
examples of Georgia and the Caucasus.

Significant attention is paid to the aspects of the history of
relations between the Europe and Georgia.

Scientific novelty of the work In 1990 when we were on official business
trip in France we have collected the emigrant periodicals and scientific
publications that had been unknown or less known in Georgia before with the
support of the Georgian Diaspora in France and the administration of the
Georgian estate Leville.

Very important works of the noted western political annalists
and lawyers as well as the distinguished representatives of the Azerbaijan
and the north-Caucasian political emigration that had been translated by the
Georgian emigrants into Georgian and published in the Georgian emigrant
periodicals is given in the present work. The Russian language Caucasian
emigrant journals «Kavkaz» and «Obyedinionny Kavkaz» deserve some attention
as the articles of the Georgian emigrants used to be published very often in
them.

Material presented in the work contains significant information
and considerations about history of the XVIII-XX centuries of Georgia and
the Caucasus. Particularly often such questions are discussed as relations
of Georgia and other Caucasian nations with Russia and Turkey, the Caucasian
peoples’ genocide, the attempts of creation of anti-Bolshevik block by the
Caucasian political emigration, the question of the Caucasian autochthonic
nation’s unity, the historical-legal evaluation of the Georgievsk Treaty
(1738) and the Russian – Georgian treaty of 1920, the legal evaluation of
the Kars treaty, etc.

The presented work is the first monographic research, which
implies the survey of how the significant questions of the history of
Georgia and the Caucasus of the XVIII-XX centuries is presented in the
Georgian emigrant literature, how the Georgian emigrant authors evaluate
so-called «Georgievsk Tractate» of 1783, the Russian-Georgian treaty of 1920
and violation of both of them by Russia, the Russia-Turkey so-called Kars
Treaty, the Russian-Georgian and Turkey-Georgian relations and many other
burning issues.

It is also very important that many works of emigrant authors
are important primary sources as the authors are eyewitnesses and
participants of the described events.

As to those representatives of the Georgian political emigration
presented in this work, it is necessary to state that: we have concentrated
our attention on those persons whose activity was unknown or less known for
the Georgian public at large, or on those aspects of the activity of
well-known emigrants which are unknown or less known as well. Of course we
have materials on many other Georgian emigrants too, but we do not write
concerning their activity, as their life is quite well known in Georgia.

Theoretical and practical importance of the work The material and the
results of the research given in this work create a certain scientific basis
that should be taken into consideration while creating the textbooks of the
history of Georgia and the Caucasus of the XVIII-XX centuries and while
studying the history of the Georgian political emigration. Besides, the
results of the research could be used for conducting the special courses and
seminars at the Institutes or Universities as well.

Publications 10 scientific-research works, among them 1 monograph have been
published on the basis of material of the presented thesis.

Approbation of the thesis material On 1993-1994 we were elaborating the
following topic: «For the history of the Caucasian peoples’ unity (On the
basis of emigrant literature)» and 4 reports have been presented to the
session of the Department of Source Studies of the Ivane Javakhishvili
Institute of History and Ethnology of the Georgian Academy of Sciences.
Besides, in 1998 we organized the International Scientific Conference
«Genocide of the Caucasian peoples» on which we presented the report
«Genocide of the Chechen people and Georgian political emigration».

(P. Butkov 1869) and by Al. Tsagareli (1891), in the collections: «Documents
and Materials of the history of the Foreign Policy of the Trans-Caucasus and
Georgia» (1919) also in «The Acts of the Archeological Commission of the
Caucasus (1868-1870)»and «The Legal Acts of the Democratic Republic of
Georgia (1918-1921)».

Different works of the following foreign authors that had been

Chapter II – «Methods of source studies of Georgian emigrants».The methods
of source studies of the Georgian emigrant authors and the basis of their
source studies are considered in this chapter. Specifically for this purpose
works of the following authors have been studied: Mikhako Tsereteli, Zurab
Avalishvili, Samson Pirtskhalava, Ivane Zurabishvili, Alexandre Asatiani,
Kalistrate Salia, Shalva Amirejibi, Alexandre Manvelishvili, Petre
Surguladze, Tamar Papava, Data Vachnadze, Konstantine Kandelaki, Markoz
Tugushi, Victor Nozadze, Elise Pataridze, Isidore Mantskava, Ivane
Nanuashvili, Karlo Inasaridze, etc.

Several major issues are emphasized while considering of methods
of source studies and the basis of it: 1. The notion of a nation, nation’s
rights and self-determination issues; 2. The questions of the history of the
XVIII-XIX centuries of Georgia and the Caucasus, 3. The questions of the
history of Georgia and the Caucasus of the XX centuries.

The Georgian emigrant authors use the following sources while
consideration of the first topic: Chronicles of the Collection of old
Georgian historical chronicles «Kartlis Tskhovreba» («Life of Georgia»), the
work of Ioane-Zosime «Kebay da Didebay Kartulisa Enisa» («Praise and glory
of the Georgian language». The X century), the work of Giorgi Merchule «Life
of Grigol from Khandztda» (VIII century), the correspondence of the last
King of Kartl-Kakheti (Eastern Georgia) Giorgi the XII (1798-1800) with the
Russian military figures. Among modern Georgian and foreign authors they use
works of Ilia Chavchavadze, Niko Marr, Ivane Javakhishvili, Giorgi
Javakhishvili, Alexandre Javakhishvili, Ivane Jabadari, Giorgi Zdanovich
(Maiashvili), Niko Khizanishvili, A. Bergson, O. Bauer, E. Nyss, E. Reclus,
W. Zombardt, P.Manchini, R. Springer, W. von Freigangs, H. De. Mann, A.
Bailly, H. Spenser, I. Leconte, C. Huysmans, K. Renner, L.Le Four, J.-J.
Rousseau, F. von List, Von Ulmann, etc.

When reviewing the history of Georgia and the Caucasus, the
emigrant authors referred to the works of M. Brosset, Vakhushti Bagrationi,
Al. Tsagareli, To «Georgievsk Tractate» of 1783, Russian-Georgian Treaty of
1920, Kars Treaty of 1921, the «Acts of the Caucasian Archeographical
Commission» in many volumes, the collection published by B. Butkov, travel
notes of E. Spenser, the scientific works of Ivane Javakhishvili, Simon
Esadze, Giorgi Gozalishvili, Mikheil Tamarashvili.

Chapter III – «A nation, nation’s rights and self-determination of the
nations as the basis of the national statehood». In accordance to the modern
understanding the nations, people rights are the indivisible part of human
rights and basic freedoms. It is an extremely important question
particularly for those nations, which are fighting for freedom today.
Besides it is directly connected with such concept as «Nationalism». The
obvious, unvarnished presentation of this problem is very important for the
Caucasian peoples.

First of all, definition of the concept «nationalism» is given,
what is particularly important for deliberating on the Rights of the
Nations, especially in current, post Soviet society. During the previous 70
years we used to be convinced that «Nationalism» is something very
destructive and is equal to chauvinism and isolationism. They have even
named it as «Fighting Nationalism» and have given a label of «Bourgeois»
«Reactionary» ideology to it.

In the present chapter of the work considerations of the
following distinguished representatives of the Georgian emigration are
given: Vakhtang Tsitsishvili (1937), Mikheil (Mikhako) Tsereteli (1910,
1956), Grigol Robakidze (1954), Victor Nozadze (1934), Vladimer Emukhvari
(1937), Isidore Mantskava (1934, 1944), Spiridon Kedia (1932), Markoz
Tugushi (1952), Alexandre Manvelishvili (1935, 1955, 1970) and the
distinguished foreign scholars: E. Renan, D. Miller, B. Anderson, P.
Manchini, D. Korn, P. Trenor, R. Gattrey, E. Gallner, M. Hroch, A.D. Smith,
G. Gotlieb, T. Eriksen, etc.

It is very notable how the sense of a nation was defined by the
representatives of the Georgian political emigration and how they saw the
national statehood and the ways of its development. It was especially
conspicuous the reflection of Mikhako Tsereteli, Alexandre Manvelishvili,
Mikheil Muskhelishvili (Mouskheli), Victor Nozadze, and Kalistrate Salia.

M. Tsereteli offers us his own definition of a nation, based on
his historical and sociological research: «A nation is a social
super-organism or a hyper-organism consisting of a homogeneous or a
heterogeneous ethnic and social material, which is able in a certain period
of history to create one outwardly organized common life with its elements,
the single society with all of its organs: language, religion, morals, law
and politics, – the society with its special history, type and
self-awareness, with the full individuality» («Nation and Mankind» 1910).
The works of Alexandre Manvelishvili «National Formation of
Georgians» (1955) also implies a very interesting definition of a nation: «A
nation is the society of individuals as a result of a prolonged historical
process, ended and fastened together with the united common spiritual life
and aspirations, with the common territory and the common political
organization. A series of the spiritual values have been created on the base
of a common life, which used to promote rallying and strengthening of the
nation for their part.» Then the author underlines the main factors of a
nation’s existence:
1.. Common origin,
2.. Common language,
3.. Common religion,
4.. Common culture,
5.. Common territory,
6.. Relations with other peoples.
A. Manvelishvili denies possibility of creation of «the one common to all
mankind organism» as this contradicts to the evolution of a man and society.
On the basis of research implemented in this chapter we have elaborated our
own definition of the nation: A nation is community of the people united by
means of unity of common origin, common territory, history, tradition,
statehood, culture, literary language, having the characteristic, unique
features. Assembly of nations of the whole world forms the international
community while the union of the national cultures forms the world
civilization.
Chapter IV – «Some unknown sides of activity of the Georgian emigrants. Some
aspects of the activity of distinguished representatives of the Georgian
political emigration Ekvtime Takhaishvili and Grigol Robakidze are discussed
in the present chapter, the aspects, which are unknown for the general
public.
4.1 «The activity of the «Fund of Edition of the Georgian Archaeological and
Cultural Materials» (1937-1939)». «The Fund of the Georgian Archaeological
and Cultural Materials» was founded by the distinguished Georgian historian
and public figure, professor Ekvtime Takaishvili in Paris in the second half
of 1930-es.
The Fund undertook to carry out a very important mission: to
bring to light and to publish the old Georgian relics and monuments
dispersed abroad.
Ekvtime Takaishvili published the «Address to Georgian
emigration» in the first issue of the Georgian emigrant magazine «Kartlosi»
in Paris In 1937, where main objectives of creation and activity of the
above-mentioned fund are formulated very clearly. Actually creation of this
fund served to the same mission, which had been undertaken previously by the
«Historical and Ethnographic Society of Georgia» and even before that by
«The Society for Spreading of literacy among Georgians».
The Fund’s activity was reviewed in its periodical reports,
which had been published in the different issues of the emigrant’s newspaper
«Damoukidebeli Sakartvelo» of 1937-1939 in Paris.
Using the donated sums the fund published the following works:
«Archaeological Expedition in Lechkhum-Svaneti in 1910» (Paris, 1937, 440
pages.); «Archaeological Expedition in Kola-Oltisi and Changle in 1907
(Paris 1938, 87 pages.); «The Chronicle of the Kings’ and the Catholicos’
souls in the manuscript of Ninotsminda» (Paris, 1939, 16 pages.) And other
important works published in the western periodic scientific publications.
The author of all these works was Ekvtime Takaishvili himself.
In 1929 E. Takaishvili was one of the founders of the St. Nino
Georgian Orthodox church in Paris.
4.2 «Grigol Robakidze as the Public and Political figure» . The portrait of
the great Georgian writer and patriot Grigol Robakidze (1882-1962) as a
political and public benefactor is represented on the basis of the
publications of distinguished representatives of the Georgian political
emigration: Ioseb Gogolashvili (1964), Severian Chirakadze (1964),
Kalistrate Salia (1953), Karlo Inasaridze (1984) and letters and works of
Grigol Robakidze himself («The letter to Irakli Abashidze», «The ruined
soul», «The history of Lamara’s creation», «Appeal to the Georgian
people»). Particularly, his role in the activity of the parliamentary
delegation of the democratic Republic of Georgia at the Paris Peaceful
Conference in 1918 and in the foundation of the Georgian Legation in
Istanbul in the same year is ahown.
S. Chirakadze recalleced the active struggle of Grigol Robakidze
against the anti-Georgian activity of the Bolshevik Russia after the
occupation and actual annexation of Georgia in 1921. («The fate of Kartli»
Kartli-means Georgia N 47, 1964)
Gr. Robakidze recalleced himself how had he greeted the national
rebellion in Georgia in 1924. («The fate of Kartli» Kartli-means Georgia N
17, 1954)
The writer was the member of the editorial board of the
newspaper «Sakartvelo» and the magazine «Kartveli Eri» issued in Germany in
the early 1940-es. He used to publish different articles on the national
political issues under the pen-name «Givi Gollend».
The role of Grigol Robakidze was very considerable in the
activity of the «Georgian Allied Staff» in liberating the Georgian prisoners
of war from the German concentration camps. Besides, it has been shown that
acting for liberation of his motherland, he had never been the member of
Nazi party or served the Nazi ideology as it had been presented by the
so-called «Soviet historiography»
Gr. Robakidze was the distinguished representative and one of
the founders (in 1942) of «The Union of the Georgian Traditionalists»,
headed by the Head of the Georgian Bagrationi Royal House in Europe, H.R.H.,
Prince Irakli Bagration-Mukhraneli (1909-1977) in emigration.
Chapter V – «Problems of the History of Georgia-Caucasus Relations «.
Different important issues of Georgian-Caucasian relations are given in the
present chapter on the basis of Georgian emigrant literature and other
sources and publications.
5.1 «The question of the unity of the Caucasian peoples for the history» .
The history of the idea of unity of the Caucasian autochthonic peoples and
the importance of this unity for the development of this region from the
standpoint of the emigrants is presented on the basis of the emigrant
periodical publications: «Obyedinionny Kavkaz», «Kavkaz», «Kavkasioni»,
«Tetri Giorgi», «Ornati», «Damoukidebeli Sakartvelo», «Samshoblo»,
«Sakartvelo», «Momavali» and the works of the Georgian emigrants: Alexandre
Manvelishvili, Revaz Gabashvili and Samson Pirtskhalava. This important
question has always been a burning problem for the Caucasus as Russia and
Turkey always declared their claims on this region. If at present the
Turkish-Georgian relations has become more civilized and some indications of
equal partnership are obvious in different fields, the danger from Russia
still exists and is as great as it was before.
The history of the movement for the unity of the Caucasian
peoples from the end of the XIX century up to the middle of the XX century
as well as considerations of the Georgian emigrant authors on this problem
are successively presented in the present chapter on the basis of the
Georgian emigrant literature.
Unfortunately, the historical past of the Caucasus obviously
shows that the unity of the Caucasian peoples was possible only when Georgia
obtained a zenith of its power. In other cases some contradictions and
conflicts used to occur among the Caucasian peoples that used to make the
accomplishment of that goal impossible.
5.2 «Some questions of the history of the liberation movement of the
Caucasus in the XVIII-XIX centuries in the Georgian emigrant literature» .
The subchapter consists of three parts: 1. The liberation movement of the
autochthonic peoples of the Northern Caucasus against Russia headed by
Sheikh Mansur (the second part of the 18th century), 2. The Kakhetian
rebellion of 1802 and 3. The activity of Prince Alexandre Bagrationi
(1770-1844), one of the leaders of the national-liberation movement of
Georgia and the Caucasus in 1800-1832. The material is fully based on
publications of the distinguished representatives of the Georgian political
emigration: Alexandre Manvelishvili, Giorgi Magalashvili, David (Data)
Vachnadze, Shalva Amirejibi, Tamar and Akaki Papavas.
5.3 «The questions of the history of Georgia and the Caucasus on the pages
of the Georgian emigrant magazine «Kavkasioni» . In 1929
«Kavkasioni» -emigrant literature and scientific magazine was created by the
noted Georgian scholar, public and political figure, Doctor Victor Nozadze
created in Paris. He has been its editor-in-chief and publisher until his
death (1976). The first issue of the magazine was published in 1929 and the
last one the 21 st. issue – in 1986. The fiction as well as different
scientific works used to be published in the magazine.
Survey of different works on history of Georgia and the Caucasus
published in «Kavkasioni» are reviwed in the present subchapter.
We intentionally review this magazine as in spite of its
importance it’s still less known to the Georgian readers.
Different articles published in the abovementioned magazine by
the following distinguished representatives of the Georgian political
emigration are reviewed in the present subchapter: Stephane Kasradze,
Ekvtime Takaishvili, Shalva Amirejibi, Eduard Papava, Victor Nozadze,
Alexandre Shatirishvili, Tamar and Akaki Papavas, Isidore Mantskava, Raphiel
Ivanitski-Ingilo, Giorgi Nozadze, Razhden Arsenidze, Markoz Tugushi,
Alexandre Manvelishvili, Akaki Kvitaishvili, Givi Kobakhidze, Shalva
Beridze, Sosipatre Asatiani, Vakhtang Gambashidze, David Vachnadze, Elizbar
Makashvili, Severian Chirakadze, Archil Donauri, Alexandre Tatishvili,
Nikoloz Tokhadze, Dimitri Shalikashvili (Father of the distinguished
generals of the US Army Otar and John-Malkhaz Shalikashvili), Ilia
Kuchukhidze (the same Mindia Lashauri), David Vashadze, Mikheil Kavtaradze,
Giorgi Sharashidze, Karlo Inasaridze.
Chapter VI – «Some questions of the history of Russian-Georgian relations of
the XVIII-XIX centuries and I quarter of the XX century . Significant
attantion was paid to different aspects of some questions of the history of
Russian-Georgian relations of the XVIII-XIX centuries and the I quarter of
the XX century in the publications and works of the following distinguished
representatives of the Georgian political emigration: Ekvtime Takaishvili,
Zurab Avalishvili, Mikhako Tsereteli, Alexandre Manvelishvili, David
Vachnadze, Victor Nozadze, Alexandre Tatishvili, Ivane Nanuashvili, Grigol
Uratadze, Markoz Tugushi, Samson Pirtskhalava, Karlo Inasaridze, etc.
We have basically reviewed the legal aspects of the
Russian-Georgian treaties of 1783 and 1920 years, violation of these
treaties by Russia, which twice annexed and occupied Georgia; unknown and
less known information proving the genocide implemented against the Georgian
people, etc.
As to legal evaluation of the «Georgievsk Tractate» of 1783 in accordance
with the standards of International Law, different works of the Georgian
authors Z. Avalishvili, K. Inasaridze, Gr. Veshapeli, M. Tsereteli, Al.
Manvelishvili as well as the views of the distinguished foreign scholars in
the field of International Law of those times Louis Le Four, Otfrid Nipold,
Ernest Niss and Vattel are presented in this chapter.
As to the 1783 treaties, the majority of the authors used to
observe that the Kingdom of Kartl-Kakheti (Eastern Georgia) had not lost its
status of the subject of International Law by means of the abovementioned
treaty, but due to this treaty a certain regime of the limited protectorate
had been established between Russia and Georgia. The famous European
scholars in the field of the International Law, professors Otfrid Nipold and
Louis Le Four, the member of the French Academy of Sciences and others
confirmed the same. But Dr. Karlo Inasaridze did not agree with them.
According to his view the regime of full protectorate was established
between Russia and Eastern Georgia and the Kingdom of Kartl-Kakheti did lost
the status of the subject of International Law.
Most of the works of the Georgian emigrant authors as well as of
the above-mentioned European scholars enable us to conclude that by means of
the Georgievsk Treaty of 1783 the Kingdom of Kartl-Kakheti had not lost its
status of the subject of International Law. The analogous situation took
place in February-March, 1921, when the Bolshevik Russia had occupied and
actually annexed the Democratic Republic of Georgia (1918-1921) roughly
violating the standards of International Law.
Chapter VII – «Some questions of history of the Turkish-Georgian relations
in the Ist quarter of the XX century» . We have reviewed in this chapter
how different aspects of the Turkish-Georgian relations of 1918-1920 had
been reviewed in the Georgian emigrant literature. There are some
considerations on the well-known Kars Treaty on the basis of which the last
Georgian-Turkish Treaty (of 1992) had been concluded, the treaty that caused
quite natural resentment of considerable part of the Georgian society.
From the point of view of relations with Turkey, the very first
year of the independence after liberation of Georgia from 117 years of the
Russian domination (1918) turned out to be the gravest for the country, when
in May-June, 1918, the Turkish-Georgian Treaty was concluded in Batumi
(Administrative center of the Ajarian Autonomy of Georgia). According to
this treaty the border between Georgia and Turkey was defined in accordance
with the Russian-Turkish border identified in the Adrianopol Treatise.
We should mention the Brest-Litowsk Treaty, which was made on March 3, 1918.
During preparation process of this treaty the perfidious character of the
Russian foreign policy as well as complete unreadiness of the
Social-Democratic government of the Democratic Republic of Georgia has
become obvious.
The Brest-Litowsk peaceful negotiations and Treaty were reviewed
by V. Nozadze, Gr.Uratadze, A. Donauri and other Georgian emigrant authors.
On March 1921 the Bolshevik Russia passed on Turkey about 13
thousand square kilometers of the historical Georgian territory: A part of
Batumi district and the territories of Artvin and Artaani (Ardagani)
districts behind the Georgian people’s back.
Thus, it’s quite obvious that making of a new agreement with
Turkey on the basis of the Kars Treaty gives Turkey possibility to intervene
roughly in any field of life of the Ajarian Autonomy, its religious economic
and cultural life. That is equal to intervention in internal affairs of the
sovereign Georgian state-that is, absolutely inadmissible. Moreover, Acting
this way Georgia acknowledges itself as legal successor of so-called
«Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic» in the field of the relation with
Turkey that is evident nonsense.
Chapter VIII – «The questions of history of the XX Century of Georgia and
the Caucasus» . Some important topics of history of the XX Century Georgia
and the Caucasus are reviwed in the present chapter.
8.1 «Bolshevizm-Menshevizm and the Democratic Republic of Georgia
(1918-1921) . The fact that policy of both the Bolshevik Russia and,
unfortunately, the governing Georgian Social-Democratic Party was
anti-Georgian is shown in the present chapter on the basis of very
noteworthy data of the Georgian emigrant literature and the documentary
sources reflecting the history of the Democratic Republic of Georgia
(1918-1921). Besides the anti-Caucasian policy of Turkey and Russia, which
had been coordinated between them, should be mentioned as well. All the
abovementioned circumstances as a whole stipulated collapse of the
Democratic Republic of Georgia in February-March, 1921, when the Bolshevik
Russia had occupied and actually annexed Georgia.
The fact that Georgian Social-democrats continued their anti-national
activity even in the emigration is reviewed in this chapter.
A clear example of which was their participation in the
negotiations with the representatives of the Russian and non-Russian
(national minorities) emigration in Wiesbaden and than in Munich. Finally,
the results of the abovementioned negotiations have been officially
legalized in the resolution signed on October 16, 1953 in Munich.
«The Coordinating Centre of the Anti-Bolshevik Peoples» was established.
They signed the Statute of the centre, in accordance with it the
«anti-Bolshevik peoples» which had been the part of the former Tsarist
Empire, would have given up the part of their sovereignty to Russia in case
of victory of the movement.
The distinguished lawyer, Professor of the Strasbourg
University, famous representative of the Georgian Political Emigration
Mikheil Mouskheli (Muskhelishvili) wrote in 1954 concerning this issue:
«Signing of this statute by the Georgians meant of course that Georgia had
lost the status of the sovereign state, which Georgia had gained in
1918-1921. It means that Georgia will not be able to demand its sovereignty,
and independence as its right, which had been taken away by the illegal
action. Consequently, this means that we should not speak about restoration
of this right, now we have to speak about regaining it from the very
beginning» (A magazine «Bedi Kartlisa», No: 16, 1954).
8.2 «Some questions of history of Georgia and the Caucasus of the I half of
XX century» . Some significant questions of the history of Georgia and the
Caucasus of the XX century are reviewed in the present chapter on the basis
of the works of the following distinguished representatives of the Georgian
political emigration: Alexandre Asatiani (1937), Markoz Tugushi (1965),
Kalistrate Salia (1948, 1962), Varlam Cherkezishvili (1918), Shalva
Karumidze (1935), Victor Nozadze (1965), Mikheil Tsereteli (1935, 1955),
Revaz Gabashvili (1957), Zurab Avalishvili (1935) Givi Kobakhidze (1944),
Tamar papava (1967) Solomon Zaldastanishvili (1938), Valiko Chubinidze
(1953), Ivane Nanuashvili (1966, 1973), Konstantine Kandelaki (1953), Karlo
Inasaridze (1984), Giorgi Magalashvili (1954), David Vachnadze (1952, 1954),
etc.
The subchapter is divided into 3 parts: 1. Struggle of the
Georgian people for the restoration of state independence in 1900-1917; 2.
The National-Liberation movement in Georgia in 1921-1924; 3. The tragedy of
the peoples of the Northern Caucasus of 1944.
The activity of Giorgi Dekanozishvili and his group in the
1900-es, the activity of «The Committee of Independence of Georgia»
(1908-1918), rebellion of Georgian people in 1924 and its importance, and
bloody repressions implemented by the Soviet regime in 1944 against
Chechens, Ingushes and other peoples of the Northern Caucasus are reviewed
in this chapter.
8.3 «The tragedy of April the 9th, of 1989» . The publications of the
Georgian emigrant press dedicated to Tbilisi tragedy of April the 9th, of
1989 are review in this chapter.
8.4 «Some questions of the history of Georgia of the 1990-es on the pages of
the Georgian emigrant magazine «Gushagi» . In 1973-1984 the magazine
«Tavisuplebis Tribuna» was being published in Paris, Giorgi Tsereteli, the
distinguished representative of the Georgian political emigration
(1917-1993) was the editor in chief of this magazine. Total number of the
published issues of the magazine was 42. In 1984 on the basis of this
magazine the new magazine «Gushagi» was created by the same person Giorgi
Tsereteli who became its editor-in-chief as he had been before. It’s
necessary to mention that «Gushagi» was the beyond party publication and it
didn’t serve the interests of any party or political trend.
Of course, «Gushagi» couldn’t calmly observe the military-criminal coup
d’etat
that took place in Georgia in December-January, 1991-1992, and the events
that took place after that. How the abovementioned events have been
reflected on the pages of this magazine is the topic of this subchapter.
With this purpose the issues of «Gushagi» from number 27 to 30 have been
reviewed.
It’s necessary to note that its editorial staff took very
principal position with regards to the coup. G. Tsereteli himself was in
Georgia in autumn, 1991.
The editorial staff of «Gushagi» was very principal when
evaluating the events that took place after the coup. It would be enough to
mention their evaluation of the parliamentary election of October the 11th,
1992: «The elections of October the 11th was the mockery at democracy. It
promoted neither legitimating of the State Council nor the political unity
of the Georgian people, what should have been the main objective of
parliamentary elections».
Chapter IX – «Some question of the history of relations of Europe and
Georgia» . Several aspects of interrelations of some European countries and
Georgia are represented in the chapter. This material is completely based on
the articles published in the Georgian emigrant press and the certain
publications.
The chapter is divided into the following subchapters: 1. The
Georgian politologists of the West; 2. The Georgians in the European armies;
3. The distinguished scholar and writer Vasili Karist (Vasil
Kharischirashvili); 4. The distinguished kartvelologist (Andro Gugushvili);
5. The distinguished historian (Alexandre Manvelishvili); 6. The solicitous
of the Georgian culture (Professor Shalva Beridze); 7. The true friend of
the Georgian people (Juseppe Motta); 8. The protector of the rights of the
Georgian people (Jean Martin).
Despite the fact that a certain part of the Georgian political
emigration did serve in German Wehrmacht of the III Reich, but their sole
goal was to liberate Georgia from the Soviet tyranny and not to serve for
the Nazi ideology. So-called «Soviet historiography» has represented their
activity in absolutely distorted way.
The basic conclusions

1.Considering the notion of a nation, the rights of the Nations and the
issue of the national self-determination, the problems of interrelations
between a nation and the state, the representatives of the Georgian
political emigration (Mikhako Tsereteli, Vakhtang Tsitsishvili, Victor
Nozadze, Ivane Zurabishvili, Markoz Tugushi, Isidore Mantskava, Alexsandre
Manvelishvili, Alexandre Asatiani, the leaders of the Georgian
National-Democratic Party (was founded in 1917) and the National-patriotic
political organization «Tetri Giorgi» («The White Giorgi») pointed out,
that a nation is a result of a prolonged historical process, the society of
individuals of the common origin, having common language, common culture
and faith, and common territory. They came also to the conclusion that
political system of the state must be based on the equal rights and duties
of the whole people, whole nation. The state should not turn into a weapon
of a certain social class, but it should represent the whole nation,
implementer of its interests and protector of its rights.
Reaserches of the following foreign authors (E. Renen, E.Gellner, E-D.
Smith, G. Gottlib, T. Eriksen ect.) alongside with works of emigrant authors
have been used in the present work. There is our own definition of Nation
given in it.
2. Those fields of activity of the distinguished public figure, famous
scholar Ecvtime Takaishvili and the writer Grigol Robakidze, that are
unknown or less known to the general public is presented in the work.
Namely, very productive publishing activity of the prominent historian
Ekvtime Takaishvili, who had published his major scientific works
(«Archaeological expedition in Lechkhum-Svaneti in 1910», «Archaeological
expedition in Kola -Oltisi and Changle in 1907″, «The Chronicle of the Kings
and the Catholicoses in the manuscript of Ninotsminda», etc.) are reviewed
in the work. All these works have already been identified as the assets of
the Georgian historical science. As to Grigol Robakidze, great Georgian
writer and public figure, he is presented as the public and political
figure.
3. Considering the question of unity of the autochthonic Caucasian peoples
the Georgian emigrants authors (Victor Nozadze, Leo and Giorgi Kereselidze,
Mikhako Tsereteli, Revaz Gabashvili, Alexandre Manvelishvili, Samson
Pirtskhalava, etc.) pointed out that the main guarantee of the development
and security of the Caucasian people is their unity, their coordinated
policy that would be based on the mutual understanding. But, in reality, the
historical past of the Caucasus shows that, unfortunately, the Caucasus
managed to unite only when Georgia reached the zenith of her power. In other
cases various contradictions used to eppear between the Caucasian peoples.
4. The National-Liberation movement of Georgia and the Caucasus in the
18-20th centuries was one of the main topics of the Georgian emigrant
authors (Alexandre Manvelishvili, Shalva Amirejibi, Tamar and Akaki papavas,
etc.). The liberation movement of Sheikh Mansur, uprising in Kakheti in
1802, the liberation movement headed by Prince Alexandre Bagrationi
(1770-1844), the son of the King of Kartl-Kakheti Irakli the II are
reviewed in the present work.
5.Such significant Georgian emigrant publications as the magazine
«Kavkasioni» (the editor-publisher Victor Nozadze) was almost unknown for
the Georgian public at large. The important questions of history of Georgia
and the Caucasus reviwed on the pages of «Kavkasioni» are represented in the
present work.
6. The questions of history of the Russian-Georgian relations of the 18-19th
centuries and the Ist quarter of the 20th century, had been deeply reviewd
in the works of the Georgian emigrant authors (Zurab Avalishvili, Mikhako
Tsereteli, Grigol Veshapeli, Alexandre Manvelishvili, Markoz Tugushi, David
Vachnadze, Victor Nozadze, Ivane Nanuashvili, Karlo Inasaridze, etc.) They
paid particular attention to the legal assesment of so-called «Georkievsk
Tractate» of 1783, the Russian-Georgian Treaty of 1920, and so-called Kars
Treaty. As to the treaty of 1783, the majority of the above-mentioned
authors pointed out that the Kingdom of Kartl-Kakheti had not lost its
status of the subject of International Law as a result of this treaty and
the regime similar to the limited protectorate had been established between
Russia and Georgia. Famous European scholars in the field of International
Law, professor Otfrid Nipold and the member of the French Academy of
Sciences Louis Le Four had the same opinion concerning the abovementioned
issue. We have the similar situation in February-March, 1921, when Bolshevik
Russia occupied and actually annexed the Democratic Republic of Georgia
(1918-1921). This was the greave violation of the standards of International
Law as well.
7. Many Georgian emigrant authors (Victor Nozadze, Grigol Uratadze, Archil
Donauri, Elise Pataridze, Alexandre Manvelishvili, etc.) examined the
history of Turkish-Georgian relations in 1918-1921. They came to unanimous
conclusion on the bais of the analysis of these relations: Having come to an
agreement with Bolshevik Russia, behind Georgia’s back Turkey played a very
negative role in the newest history of Georgia. With the support of Turkey
the Bolshevik Russia occupied and actually annexed Georgia in February-March
1921. While the Russian-Turkish so-called Kars Treaty was the obvious
violation of territorial integrity of Georgia. According to this treaty
Turkey had received about 13 thousand square kilometers of the historical
Georgian territory, which was rude violation of the standards of
International Law.
8. The Russian-Georgian relations and, namely, the relations between the
Bolshevik Russia and the Democratic Republic of Georgia in 1918-1921, always
were in the lime light of the Georgian emigration. Besides the role of the
Georgian Social-Democrats (Mensheviks) in the creation and history of the
first Republic of Georgia are considered here as well. Of course, we mean
the attitude of the Georgian national political emigration, which was very
critical towards the Bolsheviks as well as to the Mensheviks. Significant
attantion is paid to these questions in the works of Victor Nozadze, Archil
Donauri, Ivane Zurabishvili, Revaz Gabashvili, Giorgi Kvinitadze, Valerin
Tevzadze, Nikoloz Matikashvili, Mikheil Kvaliashvili, Alexandre
Manvelishvili, Shalva Kalandadze, Elese Pataridze, D. Sindikeli, Alexandre
Asatiani, Ivane Nanuashvili and others.
9. Some significant questions of the history of Georgia and Caucases of the
20th century that had been reviewd in the works of the Georgian emigrant
authors are represented in the present work: (Markoz Tugushi, Alexandre
Asatiani, Mikheil Tsereteli, Varlam Cherkezishvili, Kalistrate Salia, Victor
Nozadze, Shalva Karumidze, Revaz Gabashvili, Zurab Avalishvili, Givi
Kobakhidze, Tamar Papava, Ivane Nanuashvili, Alexandre Kargareteli, Shalva
Amirejibi, Solomon Zaldastanishvili, Valiko Chubinidze, Karlo Inasaridze,
David Vachnadze, Giorgi Magalashvili, Giorgi Tsereteli). Namely, the
questions of the struggle of Georgian people for the restoration of state
independence in 1900-1917, the National-Liberation movement in Georgia in
1921-1924, the tragedy of the North-Caucasian peoples 1944, the tragedy of
Tbilisi of April the 9th, 1989 are reviewed. In the process of reviewing of
these topics some of those aspects are emphasized that were unknown or less
known for the public at large. In particular, many important details of the
history of the National-Liberation movement of the Georgian people in
1900-1917 and in 1921-1924.
10. The newest history of Georgia, namely the 1990es is marked with lots of
significant milestones, which had played crucial role in restoration of
state independence and formation of national statehood of the country. (The
first democratic and multiparty, non-Soviet Parliamentary Elections on
October 28, 1990, the National Referendum on March 31, 1991 and adoption of
the Act of Restoration of the State Independence of Georgia on April the
9thof the same year, the first Presidential Elections on May, 26, 1991).
Unfortunately, the same 1990es were noted by that villainous event as well
(the military-criminal coup d’etat in December-January, 1991-1992), which
led to the 12 years dictatorship and violation of the territorial integrity
of Georgia in 1992-1993. How these events have been reflected on the pages
of the emigrant magazine «Gushagi» (the Editor-publisher Giorgi Tsereteli)
is represented in the present work.
11.Some material which clearly illustrate that the Democratic Republic of
Georgia (1918-1921) maintained close contacts with the European states and
the Georgian political emigration kept in touch with the European countries
are reviewed in the present work on the basis of the Georgian emigrant
literature. Namely, the contribution of the Georgian political analyst and
military figures to the European politology and military affair, as well as
productive scientific activity of the emigrant scholars Vasili Karist
(Kharischirashvili), Andro Gugushvili and Alexandre Manvelishvili. The huge
services that the remarkable European statesmen Juseppe Motta (Switzerland)
and Jean Martin (Switzerland) had rendered to Georgia is reviewed.

El debate Fukuyama y el futuro de la Historia

Tesis doctoral presentada por Israel Sanmartín
y dirigida por el profesor Carlos Barros

Santiago de Compostela, 26 de abril de 2006

Agradecimientos

Quiero agradecer al profesor Carlos Barros su dedicación, interés y esfuerzo para que esta tesis doctoral saliera adelante. En gran medida muchas de las ideas desarrolladas aquí son consecuencia de sus enseñanzas. Igualmente, me gustaría mostrarle mi gratitud por permitirme crecer intelectualmente, a diario, en ese gran proyecto científico que es Historia a Debate, al que debo todo. Por otro lado, quisiera tener unas palabras de recuerdo a mis antiguos compañeros del Instituto de Estudios Gallegos Padre Sarmiento (CSIC-Xunta de Galicia) con los que tantos años compartí. En el mismo sentido, pero en referencia a la Facultad de Geografía e Historia de la Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, quisiera manifestar mi agradecimiento por la acogida que me han dispensado todos los miembros del Área de Historia Medieval y en general toda la Facultad. Paralelamente, me gustaría dar las gracias a todos aquellos que me han facilitado mi investigación a lo largo de todos estos años. De este modo, desearía tener una mención de aprecio para Everette Larson (de la Library of Congress) así como para los bibliotecarios del Instituto Padre Sarmiento (en especial a Paco Queija). Por último, me siento en deuda con Hebe Pelosi, Isidro García, Gerardo Pereira, Eduardo Pardo, Baldomero Cores, Harvey Kaye, Gonzalo Pasamar, Santiago Jiménez, José Carlos Bermejo, Teófilo Ruiz y Claudio Canaparo, porque me han proporcionado apoyo logístico e intelectual. Por otro lado, quisiera mostrar mi reconocimiento a Francis Fukuyama, quien me recibió en su despacho de la George Mason University y que siempre me ha tratado con exquisitez.

Tesisna Rubén Kotler [1/9/06]

Amig@s, quería compartir con todos ustedes la noticia que me confirmaron esta semana que al fin y gracias al Programa de Historia Oral de la Universidad de Buenos Aires ha salido la publicación de mi tesis de Licenciatura sobre la historia de las Madres de Detenidos – Desaparecidos de Tucumán. La publicación es dentro de las publicaciones del programa de Historia Oral que dirige Pablo Pozzi. A todos, los que de una u otra manera estuvieron y están conmigos les doy las gracias y en cuanto tenga conmigo un  ejemplar prometo enviarles escaneada la tapa (VA EN ANEXO). Demás está decir que es un momento de mucha felicidad para mi ya que es ver como ha nacido mi primer hijo, fruto de mi primera investigación en esto que espero sea mi carrera de toda la vida. Un saludo y un abrazo a Tod@s.

Felicitaciones

Felicidades a Rubén Kotler por la publicación de su trabajo de investigación sobre la resistencia a la dictadura argentina. Una de las características de la segunda mitad del siglo XX en materia de los movimientos sociales es la proliferación de organizaciones civiles y ONGs que desempeñan al menos dos funciones: la de conciencia crítica y la de sustitución de los vacíos de justicia y acción gubernamentales. Enhorabuena y gracias a HaD por compartir con nosotros esta trascendental información. Rigoberto Rodríguez, Universidad de Sinaloa, México

Rubén:

No nos conocemos pero te felicito. Me imagino lo orgulloso que debés estar. Voy a tratar de hacerme de la publicación porque es un tema que me interesa particularmente. Felicitaciones otra vez.

Estimado Kotler

Saludo. Siempre una felicitacion es insignificante ante la laboriosidad que ya se demuestra desde la titulacion; un abrazo seria reconfortante; una critica seria pertinente; un tomarlo como referencia para las clases que se dictan… la mejor de las suertes. Esperamos asi sea. Adelante siempre! Desentramar los oscuros senderos de la historia de Latinoamerica es parte de nuestra tarea. Espero conseguir la obra pronto y compartir comentarios y aprendizajes.

Muchas felicitaciones para Rubén Kotler desde la Universidad Simón Rodríguez en Venezuela. Publicaciones como esta sirven de referencia sobre el devenir histórico de nuestro continente en épocas pretéritas, y también de ojo avisor para nuevas formas de dictaduras «enmascaradas» que nuevamente pretenden instaurarse en latinoamérica. Éxitos, espero con gusto la publicación de la obra para leerla.

Tesis de Carmen Michelena [6/5/07]

Estimados Carlos e Israel:
  Hace mucho que no contacto con vosotros, pero sigo siempre vuestras  actividades por la web y os felicito por el invalorable aporte que haceís a  la historiografía contemporánea. Quiero invitaros a vosotros y a todos los  colegas de Historia a Debate a la lectura de mi tesis doctoral en Historia  de América, en la Universidad de Sevilla, el jueves 10 de mayo a las 11:30  am.
  Esta investigación que lleva por título: «Reformas y rebeliones en la  crisis del imperio borbónico. Dos intentos revolucionarios ilustrados: De  San Blas (Madrid, 1795) a La Guaira (1797)», surge a partir del Convenio  marco entre la Junta Autonómica de Andalucía y el Ministerio de la  Secretaría de la Presidencia de Venezuela, ratificado en Sevilla, 1993,  firmado por la Dra. Carmen Mena García y el Prof. Alberto Filippi, en  representación de ambas instituciones respectivamente, y financiado por la  Junta Autónoma de Andalucía. Asimismo, forma parte del proyecto central de dicho Convenio, que lleva por título: La Configuración Histórica de la  Nacionalidad Venezolana: Reformas Ilustradas; Regionalismo e Independencia Bolivariana: La Aportación Andaluza (1700 – 1830), dirigido por la Dra. Mena García.
  En mi trabajo me refiero a  la práxis libertaria durante el siglo XVIII,  tanto en Madrid como en el venezolano puerto de La Guaira.   Gracias por vuestra atención y espero veros pronto. Por cierto, hace dos  años que dejé la Fundación John Boulton de Caracas y vivo en Madrid, aquí  estoy a vuestra disposición.
  Abrazos
