Polityka (nie)pamięci o sowieckiej przeszłości Gruzji w czasie prezydentury Micheila Saakaszwilego

Abstract

After the October Revolution and the collapse of the Russian Empire, Georgia was formed in the Democratic Republic of Georgia, which was occupied by the Bolsheviks in 1921, thus launched a seventy-year period of Soviet history in Georgia. Micheil Saakashvili was the third president of an independent Georgia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. When he came to power in 2003 he undertook activities in almost all spheres of social and political life, that are characterized primarily by the anti-Russian and anti-Soviet dimension. Article "The policy of (non) remembrance of Georgia's Soviet past during Micheal Saakashvili's presidency" is an analysis of the actions taken in the politics of memory by the Georgian president, which fundamentally devastated the Russian and Soviet past of Georgia, and thus shape a new type of society, uncritically appealing to the bringing the memory of the Soviet legacy from "70 years of sojuza" to "70 years of occupation". The text was mainly based on the internet articles and publications of Georgian scientists and the author's own research.
