Hey, thanks for your work on Georgian history. I hope to see more like it; we'll probably run into each other occasionally if you're working on that area. Isomorphic 22:30, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

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)
