February 25, 1921, in Modern Georgian Historiography

Abstract

The paper discusses certain recent works of Georgian prominent authors about Georgian historiography, particularly on the topic of February 25, 1921, which is an important and significant issue for Georgia. The works show and highlight that Georgia has never tolerated the loss of independence after the annexation and abolition of statehood by the Russian Empire.

The paper stresses that the topic of February 25, 1921, is presented in detail in modern Georgian historiography, moreover, it is worth saying that the authors working over the topic are researchers of different generations. It is not surprising that the authors working during the Soviet period, under that regime, assessed reality from a completely different position. The Article observes the two types of authors: first, who have been observing the dynamics of political processes and scientific activities since the Soviet period, mainly after the restoration of Georgia's state independence, and second, who are actively investigating the current events.
