This book explores events in Georgia in the years following
Stalin's death in March 1953, especially the demonstrations of
March 1956 and their brutal suppression, in order to illuminate the
tensions in Georgia between veneration of the memory of Stalin, a
Georgian, together with the associated respect for the Soviet
system that he had created, and growing nationalism. The book
considers how not just Stalin but also his wider circle of
Georgians were at the heart of the Soviet system, outlines how
greatly Stalin was revered in Georgia, and charts the rise of
Khrushchev and his denunciation of Stalin. It goes on to examine
the different strands of the rising Georgian nationalist movements,
discusses the repressive measures taken against demonstrators, and
concludes by showing how the repressions transformed a situation
where Georgian nationalism, the honouring of Stalin's memory and
the Soviet system were all aligned together into a situation where
an increasingly assertive nationalist movement was firmly at odds
with the Soviet Union.
