Annexation of Georgia by Russia

In the Article Georgia (country) you wrote that Russian emperor Paul I unified Georgia and Russia in a proclamation on December 22, 1800. You wrote also that Georgian nobility accepted the proclamation. I think you mixed up the history.

All the western authors agree that it was not a unification but an annexation by a unilateral declaration. The only diversity of interpretation is the date and the name of that declaration. David M. Lang (The last years of the Georgian Monarchy: 1658-1832. Columbia University Press, New York 1957, p. 242) says the "manifestation" was published on December 18, 1800. Nikolas K. Gvosdev (Imperial policies and perspectives towards Georgia: 1760-1819. Macmillan , Basingstoke 2000, ISBN 0312229909, p. 85) says Paul I signed a "decree" on January 18, 1801. The Georgian historian Zurab Avalov (Prisoedinenie Gruzii k Rossii. Montvid, S.-Peterburg 1906, p. 186) also says it happened on January 18, 1801.

The Georgian nobility never accepted this unilateral declaration. What they accepted was a diplomatic note of November 13, 1800 negotiated by the Georgian envoys Prince Chavchavdze, Avalishvili und Palavalidishvili and Russian foreign minister Count Fedor Vasilevich Rostopchin. The note said that Georgia should join Russia, King Giorgi XII and his descendants should stay Kings of Kartli-Kakhetia forever, and Kartli-Kakhetia should have a certain local autonomy. But this note was never ratified by Russia.

The successor of Paul I, tsar Alexander I published a second declaration of annexation on September 12, 1801. The Georgian envoys in Sankt Peterburg submitted a note of protest to Russian vice-chancellor Prince Kurakin (Lang, p. 251). Because the Georgian nobility didn't co-operate Russian general Carl Heinrich Knorring forced Georgian aristocrats and clergyman to take an oath on the Russian crown on April 12, 1802 . Those who didn't swear were arrested (Lang, p. 252).

Maybe you should change the text. User:ChrisM, German Misplaced Pages 14:42, 16 December 2005

Sochi conflict

In Sochi conflict I read Encyclopaedia Britannica reported in 1911 that the Black Sea district was only thinly inhabited since the Russian Empire took control of the area forcing thousands of locals to become Muhajirs. The contemporary sources indicated also to a significant proportion of the region’s Georgian and Armenian population. But the Brittanica link doesn't mention anything about 'muhajirs'. Do you mean 'emigrants' with muhajdirs? And what is your source for this emigration (provided that you mean emigration)? And the next question: what are the 'contemporary rescources' which indicate that there were Armenians and Georgians living there?--Hardscarf 21:16, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

For more info on the Muslim emigration from the Imperial Russian Caucasus, see wikipedia entries Circassia, Abkhazia, Muhajir, etc. An account on the ethnic composition of the Black Sea district is given in details in a book of Gen. Kuzmin-Karavaev, published in Russian in the 1890s. These data are cited in

Thanks. I suspect you could partly refer to the aftermath of the Crimean War in 1864, when e.g. the Adyghe (Black Sea Shapsugi), Ubychi and Abazins (Sadzy-dzjigety) were forced to leave the area around Sochi after they allied with forces against Russia in order to regain their independence which was taken from them during the Russo-Turkish War, 1828-1829?

The articles you mention talk about the big emigration to the Ottoman empire between 1864 and 1878 of several peoples. But except for the Circassians I do not see any forced migration, although it seems reasonable that they were (partly) forced. Or do wou mean that it was their muslim duty to go back to the Dar al-Islam as they were not allowed to live in the Dar al-Harb (as I read in the Muhajir_of_Turkeysection).--Hardscarf 10:26, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Tbilisi City Seal

Hi Kober. Do you happen to have the current Tbilisi city seal by any chance? I looked for it on the Internet and couldn't find it. Thanks, D.Papuashvili 07:55, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi David. Thanks for yor great work on Georgia. Unfortunately, the only Tbilisi-related heraldic sign I could find on the Net is that of the Romanov-era. Kober 09:02, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Kober, thanks for letting me know. I appreciate your comments. You have done a lot more great work on Georgia than I have. D.Papuashvili 10:16, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

The Georgian People Page

Hi Kober. You might want to look at the Georgian People page. It has been protected from edits due to a funny discussion on whether Stalin was a Georgian. The page itself does not conform to a high standard and a lot of the sources or references (if there are any) are unverifiable. I know that it might be difficult to verify some of the data which is listed on that page, but right now the description just looks pretty unprofessional. Anyway, you might want to check it out if you get the chance. D.Papuashvili 12:34, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kober. How are you? That's fine if we work together on the Georgian People page. I haven't looked at it recently, and don't know if it's still blocked. I haven't been able to find a lot of time to edit Misplaced Pages either. I just added some pictures to Tbilisi today, and that's pretty much it. D.Papuashvili 12:16, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Teimuraz II

Hi Kober; I found your new article Teimuraz II whilst revision patrolling. It looks very good. Could you please just confirm if you wrote it yourself or what was the origin? In any case I have a kind request if I may. Could you please put in the sources that you used for this article? This makes it verifiable by the rest of us with less experties. It's normally much easier for the original author to do this. You might find footnotes helpful with this, though there are other systems. Ask me if you want any advice or help.

Shatberdi

Hi Kober, you were asking about the monastery of Shatberdi. This certainly was one of the most important and most productive monasteries in whole Tao-Klarjeti. The intellectual spearhead of the region, if you want. Its location, however, is disputed. Some scholars believe that it can be identified with Yeni Rabat near Ardanuji. Others argue that the itinerary, described in the vita of St Grigol Hanzteli, is a clear indication for that the monastery of Shatberdi must have been situated west of Ardanuc, and not, as in the case of Yeni Rabat, east of Ardanuji. The Turkish art historian Mine Kadiroglu has published an article in "Georgica" in 1999 in which she suggests that Shatberdi could be identified with a place southwest of Ardanuc, close to the village of Köseler. Best wishes, Sofie.

PS.: I would like to learn more about your conception of Tao-Klarjeti. As I currently see it, it was region of great cultural exchange, where ideas had a free flow. Armenians and Georgians coexisted and intermingled in Tao-Klarjeti at that time, and I feel it is a pretty useless discussion weather Tao-Klarjeti was Georgian or Armenian. It probably was both. But what matters is that people did not think in terms of nationality at that time. Nationalism is a mind-child of the 19th century, and it is a pity to observe that some people tend to transpose their nationalist concptions on historical issues and places. Check out Tao-Klarjeti and User:Hetoum.

Tao/Tayk

Hello Kober,

Thanks for leaving comment on Bagratids of Tao/Tayk. Yes wedo share much history together, and unfotunately our current relationship is strained. I just htought that in these sections Armenian side of the story was being drowned out. I hope we will be able to contribute to Articles together in the future.

Hello, I see that you contributed some nice articles on Russia-related topics. Would you be so kind as to announce such articles on this notice-board in future? Thanks in advance, Ghirla 13:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

You are welcome. You should check "what links here" (look to the left from the edit box). If the article is linked to the notice-board or its archive, then someone already announced it before. Old articles are better announced on Portal:Russia/Hidden Gems. Happy edits, --Ghirla 19:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Need help with a POV-pusher

Hey Kober,

I noticed on your user page that you're Georgian. Perhaps you could talk to this POV-pusher over on the Abkhazia page. He he continues to attempt to add his own bias to the article. He has cited works such as "History of the Georgian people" and "Making of Georgian Nation"... See the talk page for more information. Thanks. --Khoikhoi 06:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Tavisupleba

Can you help me overhaul this article? I cannot find much resources in English, and I cannot read Georgian, so I really need someone who can read ka. Thanks. User:Zscout370 06:55, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. What I want to do is try to make this article featured, along the lines of the Belarusian and Mexican anthems. Also, if you edit at KA, I uploaded a few things to the Commons you can use over there. User:Zscout370 01:48, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

One more thing, it might not make it to FA but I am glad the article is at least looking fairly decent. Thanks again. User:Zscout370 06:08, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to you too. I'd like to add some more info about the regulations but the appropriate presidential decree is not available at president.gov.ge. Keep on with your good work! Kober 19:06, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

While it was adopted in 2004, not much information is available, due to GE probably not having much internet resources, my lack of ability to read and understand KA and most of the English websites are updated by people who are into the study of anthems. I will see what else I can do, too. User:Zscout370 19:21, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Abkhazia article, biased anti-Georgian POV

Dear Kober,

I’m ready to co-operate with you on the article if you will allow me to do so. The article is without any reliable source or scholarly article. Mr Koikoi called me a pro Georgian POV due to the reasons that i quoted scholarly, historical materials of David Marshal Lang (Professor of Caucasian studies, Harvard University) and W.E.B. Allen (well knows historian of Ancient Armenia and Caucasus). Both books are titled Georgians or History of Georgian Nation. There is no single book about Abkhazian nation or History of Abkhazia. The only valid source for Abkhazian history you may find in books based on Georgian History by western scholars and historians (except George Hewitt who has an Abkhazian wife and has proven to be biased). Mr Roger Rosen (long time scholar of that region) has extensively and for a long time studied Georgia and Caucasus. He also has valid and reliable sources for the historic part of Abkhazia and war period. Please refer to his work for details (I can send you his materials). Another specialist of Caucasus conflictlogy is Dr Andrew Andersen, who has created many historic maps and scholarly articles about Abkhazia, Chechnya, Karabakh and Georgia. Mr. Khoikhoi fails to understand the importance of reliable, well documented primary and secondary sources. You can not oppose the existing academic work which is available for public. I can provide with full info on what i have mentioned above. I was lucky enough to have worked at University of Toronto where they have amazing collection of historic materials about Abkhazia. Luis Dingley YU Thanks.Noxchi Borz 18:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Question

Would you be able to tell me if the "Education Credit Union of Georgia" is particularly notable in Georgia? Some user (Education Credit Union of Georgia (talk · contribs) keeps adding references to his/her company in articles. --Khoikhoi 19:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I had not heard of that organization before and I really do not have an opinion whether it is worth to be included in Misplaced Pages. It looks like a self-promotion to me. Hope this helps. Kober 19:43, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
