Dimitri Uznadze About the Caesar

Abstract

Dimitri Uznadze's contribution to historical science, largely obscured during the totalitarian-Bolshevik regime, has remained relatively unknown to Georgian society. In the Soviet era, it was a taboo subject, silenced and untouched, as discussing it was considered political audacity. This indifference wasn't accidental; it extended beyond academic boundaries, carrying a distinct political content. Primarily, it reflected a negative attitude toward the achievements of the Democratic Republic of Georgia (1918-1921) during the Soviet period. It was a highly politicized and ideological approach. In an attempt to correct this inconsistency, we aim to shift the focus from political judgment to academic reasoning.
