Like other republics that were free after the collapse of the Soviet empire, the independent Georgian Republic re-opens its past, returning what was forgotten or destroyed during a long time of Russian and Soviet rule. Whether Georgia can successfully transform itself from a society embraced by conflicts into a pluralistic, democratic state will depend on how the Georgians rethink their history.
This is the first comprehensive analysis of Georgian history, beginning with the appearance of Georgians in the first millennium BC, through the period of Russian and Soviet rule in the XIX - XX centuries, until the emergence of an independent republic in 1991, followed by ethnic and civil war and prospects for the future Georgia.
