Abstract

To the student of revolution, and of social movements Georgia is a revelation. Soon after the power of the Czar collapsed, the Mensheviks set up a government in Georgia. In its early age the troops of the Imperial German Kaiser were its foster father; in its old age it was watched over by well-meaning British Tommies acting on behalf of Winston Churchill and George Nathaniel Curzon, who have always evinced a peculiar interest in Baku and its oil-fields and in the great Baku-Batum pipe line, which cuts through the heart of the Georgian republic. Revolutionary measures which were the first acts of the Bolsheviks in the Smolny arid Kremlin are only now being ventured in Georgia.
