GEORGIAN SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC (MENSHEVIK) PARTY

(Redirected from Georgian Menshevik Party)

The 'Social Democratic Party of Georgia' was a leading political party in pre-Soviet Georgia. Consisting of the former Menshevik faction members of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, it ran the Democratic Republic of Georgia from 1918 to 1921.
At parliamentary elections on February 14, 1919 it garnered 81.5% of the votes. In March 1921 it was overthrown by a Red Army invasion. The party was liquidated during the Soviet repressions predating to the failed anti-Soviet August Uprising in 1924.
In the words of the modern Armenian-American scholar, Ronald Grigor Suny, "Their achievement in building a Georgian political nation was extraordinary. Their support among all classes of the Georgian people was genuine. And however ephemeral their accomplishments in the brief episode of national independence, the most impressive testimony to their successes is the fact that they could not be dislodged from Georgia except by a militarily superior force from outside."^[1]
