Since 2011, the day of the establishment of Soviet power in Georgia has been celebrated as Occupation Day. Over the years" occupation regime"Hydroelectric power stations were built there, tourism and industry developed, and the standard of living was one of the highest in the Union ...
Special position
Georgian SSR as a part Soviet Union was on a special note. It was caused by objective factors. First, Joseph Stalin was born in Georgia. In addition, within supreme power there were other Georgians in the USSR, such as Grigory Ordzhonikidze and Lavrenty Beria. Political activity in Georgian SSR has always been very high, and the cult of Stalin, for obvious reasons, was especially strong. 
A regime was created in the Georgian SSR economic favor. The republic annually received substantial subsidies from the Union budget. The level of consumption per capita in Georgia was 4 times higher than the same indicator of production. In the RSFSR, the consumption rate was only 75% of the level of production.
After famous report Nikita Khrushchev On February 14, 1956, about the exposure of the cult of personality, mass uprisings began in Tbilisi. Already on March 4, people began to gather at the monument to Stalin in the Georgian capital, the communist Parastishvili climbed onto the pedestal of the monument, drank wine from a bottle and, breaking it, said: “Let Stalin’s enemies die just like this bottle!”.
Peaceful rallies took place for five days. On the night of March 10, wanting to send a telegram to Moscow, a crowd of thousands went to the telegraph office. Fire was opened on her. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, during the suppression of the riots, 15 people were killed and 54 were injured, 7 died in hospitals, 200 people were arrested.
Throughout the Union, the dismantling of monuments to Stalin began, only in Gori, in the homeland of the "leader of the peoples", by special permission from Khrushchev, the monument was left. He long time remained the most famous monument Stalin, but it was also dismantled in our time, on the night of June 25, 2010. By order of Mikhail Saakashvili.
Guilt
Georgia cannot but be associated with wines, and the Georgian in the cultural field of the Soviet Union invariably acted as a toastmaster and a connoisseur of long beautiful toasts. 
The Georgian SSR was one of the main and oldest wine-producing regions of the Soviet Union, and Georgian wines have become an internationally recognized brand. It is known that on Yalta Conference Stalin treated Georgian wine"Khvanchkara" by Winston Churchill, after which the British minister became a devoted connoisseur of this brand.
Stalin himself loved the wines "Kindzmarauli", "Khvanchkara" and "Madjari".
High-quality table and fortified wines were produced in Georgia. The production of grape wines was carried out by Samtrest enterprises, which included exemplary state farms: Tsinandali, Napareuli, Mukuzani, Kvareli in Kakheti and Vartsikhe in the western part of Georgia.
The Champagne Winery produced Soviet champagne and grape wines. In Georgia, by the 1960s, 26 brands of wine were being produced: 12 dry table wines, 7 semi-sweet, 5 strong, and 2 sweet desserts.
Tourism
Due to the optimal climatic conditions The Georgian SSR was a real tourist Mecca of the Soviet Union. For Soviet citizens Georgian resorts replaced Turkey, Egypt, and other hot foreign countries. In the resort of Abkhazia, which was part of the Georgian SSR, there were the most fashionable resorts of the USSR Pitsunda and Gagra. 
AT Soviet era Georgia was the best training base for Soviet skiers. Also, Georgia in general and Svaneti in particular became the main climbing bases of the Soviet Union.
Alpiniades and bit ascents to the peaks were periodically held here. Caucasus mountains. Huge contribution Mikhail Vissarionovich Khergiani, 7-time champion of the USSR and Honored Master of Sports of the Soviet Union, contributed to the development of Soviet mountaineering and rock climbing.
Georgian tea
In addition to wine, the Georgian SSR was famous for its tea. Its quality, according to William Pokhlebkin, was competitive (at the world level), although with reservations. 
Despite the fact that attempts to establish and organize tea production have been made in Georgia since mid-nineteenth century, its quality left much to be desired, and the volume of plantations did not reach 900 hectares.
In the early 1920s, young plantations were planted in Georgia, and active and fruitful selection work began. In 1948, Ksenia Bakhtadze managed to develop artificial hybrid varieties of tea: "Georgian No. 1" and "Georgian No. 2". For them she was awarded Stalin Prize. The variety "Georgian Selection No. 8" obtained later was able to withstand frosts down to -25. This variety has become a real sensation.
In Soviet times, Georgian tea became a brand known outside the Union. In the late 70s, he was already exported to Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Poland, East Germany, Hungary, Romania, Finland, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, South Yemen and Mongolia.
Flowers, tangerines and the shadow economy
Soviet people were not very versed in the specifics of ethnic diversity Caucasian peoples, therefore, the image of a Georgian, a resourceful and wealthy businessman, was rather collective. However, in a way he was right. 
In terms of industrial production, the Georgian SSR did not give the Soviet Union so much, but the Georgians provided Soviet citizens with everything necessary for the holidays: citrus fruits, wine, tea, tobacco, mineral water.
The Georgian SSR, according to economist Kennan Eric Scott of the Washington Institute, supplied 95% of tea and 97% of tobacco to the Soviet counters. The lion's share of citrus fruits (95%) also went to the regions of the USSR from Georgia.
In his speech at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, Eric Smith also noted that the Georgians played a significant role in shaping shadow economy of the Soviet Union, forming the market of the late USSR according to the type of "competition of diasporas".

Georgia, 1977. Photo report on the journey of a certain Erhard K. in the USSR. The photographs fully confirm the well-known opinion that the Georgian SSR was in one of the first places in the Union in terms of living standards. Life was pretty good back then. You can judge at least by the number of private cars ... 
The Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic existed until the spring of 1991. Having restored the constitution of 1918, the Supreme Council in Tbilisi declared sovereignty. During the times of the USSR, the Georgian population, together with the country, experienced the post-revolutionary devastation and the deprivations of the Second World War, shared the joy of victory and post-war recovery.
stormy time
The revolution in Petrograd destroyed the Empire. Concluding the Brest Peace, the new government handed over to Turkey the conquered in the First world land and, Kars, Ardagan. Disagreement with the Brest peace led to the creation of the Transcaucasian Independent Federative Democratic Republic. However, ZNFDR lasted two months. At the end of May 1918 the Georgian side left the federation.
non-recognition Brest Peace led to the invasion of Turkish troops. During short battles, a number of regions were occupied, including Batumi, Ozurgeti, Akhaltsikhe. Under an agreement with the German government, the territory of Georgia, for protection against Turkish troops, includes German troops. But the result of this was the signing of peace with the Turkish side on terms that were not favorable for the Georgian republic. Georgia lost more territories than at the conclusion of the Brest peace.
In December 1918, British troops came to replace the German troops. In 1920 the Georgian authorities signed peaceful agreement with the Soviets. But in the winter of 1921, the Red Army enters. Further events developed at lightning speed:
- 07/16/1921 - Adjara ASSR was founded in the Georgian SSR
- 12/16/1921 - Abkhazia is included in Georgia
- 04/20/1922 the South Ossetian Autonomous region
- 12/30/1922 The Georgian Federative SSR, as part of the ZSFSR, became part of the USSR
The Transcaucasian Federation included the Armenian SSR and Azerbaijan SSR. After the dissolution of the ZSFSR (1936), the Georgian, without the word "federal" SSR, entered the Union as an independent Soviet Socialist Republic.
After the revolution
The Georgian SSR was considered in a special position. Additional subsidies were poured into the GSPC. The reason for this is that Joseph Stalin was born in Georgia. In addition to him, immigrants from Georgians - Georgy (Sergo) Ordzhonikidze, Lavrenty Beria.
The Georgian people did a lot for the country. 700 thousand Georgians fought on the fields of the Second World War. 137 residents of Georgia are Heroes of the Soviet Union, more than 240 thousand received military awards. Georgian soldiers bravely fought in the battle for the Caucasus, which lasted from July 25, 1942 to October 9, 1943. In memory of this, a medal "for the defense of the Caucasus" was issued. The award was received by 870 thousand citizens of the country.
On May 1, 1945, Georgians Meliton Kantaria and Russian Mikhail Yegorov raised the Banner of Victory over the Reichstag. They were awarded the titles of Heroes of the Soviet Union.
After the death of Joseph Vissarionovich, at the XX Congress of the CPSU, Nikita Khrushchev made a report on the exposure of Stalin's personality cult. When the demolition of monuments to Stalin was announced, the unrest of the Georgian people began, and on the night of March 10, 1956, clashes between indignant citizens and the Ministry of Internal Affairs took place in Tbilisi. As a result of the conflict:
- 22 people died
- 54 people injured
- 200 people detained by law enforcement forces
Postwar years
Georgia as part of the USSR received the growth of the industrial industry. In addition to the food industry, the oil refining industry, mechanical engineering, and energy were developing. The largest in Transcaucasia was built in Georgia.
Georgian enterprises assembled aircraft and built locomotives. The leading industries were ferrous metallurgy, chemical industry, power industry, light industry. In Kutaisi, an automobile plant was operating for the production of trucks and tractors KAZ. In 1967, he left the assembly line, widely known in Soviet times, KAZ 608 "Colchis".
Georgian food industry provided the country with tea, mineral water, tobacco and wines. Citrus fruits from Georgia were on the New Year's table of citizens of the country of the Soviets. Georgian cognac and chacha are still in great demand today.
Good economic situation was in the private sector. Private owners owned 6% of fertile land. Sale of flowers and citrus fruits grown by private owners in the markets central Russia gave a lot of income. During the season it was possible to earn a new car.
Georgia grew 95% of all tea in the USSR.
Health resort
Socialist Georgia - All-Union. People from all over the country came for treatment at mineral springs, rest at ski resorts. Popular holidays in cities on Black Sea coast Georgia. Borjomi, Batumi, Bakuriani - the whole country knew these names. In the Abkhaz ASSR, which was part of Georgia, Gagra also thundered throughout the Union.
During Soviet times, sports bases were located on the territory of Georgia union value. Skiers and climbers trained there. The Central Olympic Base of the USSR was built in Escher. There were competitions various types sports, football players, archers, basketball players trained. Even teams came there for the training camp, for which there were no specialized facilities. So hockey players came to Escher, although an ice rink was not built for them.
In 1978, not far from Tbilisi, the Rustavi racing complex was created. It included a ring track for auto racing, a motor track, a go-kart track, and a motoball field. All-Union competitions in road racing were held on the track. When there were no big races, local competitions were held.
The sports complex in Escher was damaged during Georgian-Abkhazian conflict and is not functioning now.
Georgian cinema
The Soviet person began his acquaintance with Georgian culture, first of all, through films. 1921 year of education under People's Commissariat Enlightenment. Since 1953, the studio has been called “Georgia-Film”. An animation department (1930) and a department of documentary and popular science films (1958) were also opened.
The older generation remembers the queues in cinemas for the film "George Saakadze". This is a large-scale film made by the Tbilisi film studio during the war years. The first series was filmed in 1942, the second - in 1943. Many people love the movie Father of a Soldier. AT leading role played by People's Artist of the USSR Sergo Zakariadze. Only warm impressions are left by Georgian short films, like "Zealous Piglet".
The names of Georgian actors, directors, performers are known throughout the Union. And now, almost everyone knows who Vakhtang Kikabidze or Georgy Danelia is. The older generation can tell in which films Leila Mikhailovna Abashidze or Akaki Khorava played.
Conclusion
A number of modern political forces call the period of existence of the Georgian SSR occupation, citing as evidence the entry of the Red Army into the territory of Georgia in 1921. However, they do not take into account revolutionary sentiment populace that time. What was intervention for the ruling bourgeois class, for the proletariat and the peasantry was liberation.
The presence of Georgia in the USSR gave the region economic development. The creation of new industries was the result of industrialization, which was carried out by the state. Experts believe that Georgia was the most rich republic in the USSR during the "Stagnation".
After October revolution 1917 in Russia, in November 1917 in Tbilisi, the Transcaucasian Commissariat was created as an organ of the Menshevik government in Transcaucasia (it existed until March 1918).

During the Great Patriotic War on the territory of Georgia, several national Georgian divisions were formed that participated in the battle for the Caucasus, in the battles for liberation Taman Peninsula, Crimea and on other fronts. Georgia has supplied a significant amount of weapons, ammunition, uniforms and food.
In total, about 700 thousand people from Georgia (a fifth of the population of the republic) participated in the war, about 350 thousand of them died.
AT post-war period(1950-1970) Georgia has made significant progress in development.

Developed food (tea production, bottling mineral water, including carbonated, etc.) and textile (production of silk, cotton and woolen fabrics) industry.
The infrastructure of the sanatorium and resort economy was developed on the Black Sea coast.
In the 1970s A dissident movement emerged in Georgia led by Zviad Gamsakhurdia and Merab Kostava. The course for perestroika, proclaimed in the late 1980s. Mikhail Gorbachev, led to a rapid change of leaders of the Communist Party of Georgia.

First Republic 1917-1921
February 1917 - bourgeois-democratic revolution in Russia. After the October Revolution of 1917, a coalition government Transcaucasia (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia) - the Transcaucasian Commissariat, which united Georgian (Mensheviks), Armenian (Dashnaks) and Azerbaijani (Musavatists) bourgeois-nationalist parties. Before the new public education the question arose of recognizing the results of the Brest Peace, according to which Leninist Russia gave Turkey not only the territories conquered during the First World War, but also the districts of Kars, Ardagan and Batum. "Confession Brest-Litovsk Treaty would mean that Transcaucasia as an independent republic ceases to exist and becomes a province Turkish Empire”- said I. G. Tsereteli, chairman of the Transcaucasian Seim. This position led to a breakdown peace talks at a conference in Trabzon in March-April 1918. As a result of brief hostilities, the Turks occupied Batumi, Ozurgeti, Akhaltsikhe and a number of other territories.
April 1918 - Transcaucasia is declared an "independent federal democratic republic”, but it quickly fell apart, and already on May 26, 1918, the Mensheviks, among whom were such prominent figures as N. S. Chkheidze (since 1918 - chairman Constituent Assembly Georgia), I. G. Tsereteli, N. N. Zhordania (from July 24, 1918 - the head of the government) declared Georgia an "independent republic".

On June 4, the Georgian government signs a peace treaty with Turkey, according to which a significant part of the country's territory goes to Turkey (territories larger than those under the terms of the Brest peace).
December 1918 - after the defeat of Germany in the war, the German-Turkish troops are replaced by the British, who remain here until July 1920, guarding railway Batum - Baku. The Georgian General G. Mazniev (Mazniashvili) occupied the Sukhumi district, the Gagra district, Adler, Sochi, Tuapse and Khadyzhensk. At the Paris (Versailles) peace conference in the spring of 1919, Georgia motivated claims to Sochi and Adler in the following way: “From the ethnographic point of view, the annexation to Georgia of the territory between the Makopse River and the Mzymta River, which [territory], by the way, belonged to it [Georgia] in the past [during the time of Queen Tamara] cannot be objected to. After the forced eviction from here in the XIX century. local Caucasian tribes, this region no longer has a definite ethnographic character. In June 1919 Zhordania entered into an agreement with A. I. Denikin on a joint struggle against the Bolsheviks.
May 1920 - The Menshevik government concludes a peace treaty with the RSFSR.

Georgia within the USSR 1921-1991
March 12, 1922 - Georgia (together with Abkhazia), Armenia and Azerbaijan form a federal union. From March 12, 1922 to December 5, 1936, Georgia is part of the Transcaucasian Federation (TSFSR). At the same time, according to the constitution of the Abkhaz SSR, this republic is also part of the TSFSR (it is a subject), but through the Georgian SSR (because Abkhazia was in federal relations with Georgia).
December 30, 1922 - Georgia as part of the TSFSR is part of the USSR.
During the years of Soviet power in Georgia, industrialization and the collectivization of agriculture were carried out. Whole new industries were created.

In the period after the XX Congress of the CPSU in Georgia, there was a rise, paradoxically, both anti-Soviet and Stalinist sentiments at once. The peak point of this process was mass riots in March 1956, resulting in loss of life.
In the 1970s, Eduard Shevardnadze, who led a widely publicized campaign against corruption and abuse, gained great fame and popularity as the first secretary of the local party organization. However, the overall results of the campaign were disappointing, and Jumber Patiashvili, who replaced Shevardnadze as first secretary, stated when he took office that the situation in this regard remains extremely difficult.
AT last years During the existence of the Soviet Union, both Georgian and Abkhazian nationalists were active in Georgia. Since April 1989, daily rallies were held in Tbilisi demanding the restoration of Georgia's independence. On the morning of April 9, troops attacked the rally and dispersed it.
