Study of the Great French Revolution of 1791-1792 (Legislative Assembly) in Georgia (until 1921)

Abstract

The era of the Great French Revolution and Napoleon always caused great interest in Georgia. In the period of the new history, no decision has been well processed and studied as the mentioned era. It can be said that Georgian historiography has made its modest contribution and made as much as possible to advance the teaching, popularization, and study of the Great French Revolution and the Napoleonic era in Georgia, which is the balance of Georgian historiography. This much hasn’t been written about any other subject in French history other than the Great French Revolution and Napoleon. This emphasizes the urgency of the issue.
One of the key moments of the Great French Revolution was the period of activity of the Legislative Assembly, which left a special mark on the mentioned historical event. The activities of the legislative assembly did not go unnoticed by the Georgian researchers of the Great French Revolution, who properly covered the issue of interest for us and offered us their own, interesting reasoning and interpretation. Several eminent Georgian historians were interested in the activities of the legislative assembly, such as professors: G. Natadze, A. Namoradze, K. Antadze, and M. Kalandadze. One of the prominent Georgian politicians of the 20th century, Noe Jordania, the chairman of the government - The Democratic Republic of Georgia, who was also engaged in journalistic activities, was involved in the work of the legislative assembly. We think that it is very interesting how the activities of the legislative assembly were covered, popularized, and studied in Georgia, from the second half of the 19th century to the last period.
Because of the fact that the volume of articles to be printed in the collection of materials is determined and our full article is much larger than the specified volume, in this work, we will discuss how the work of the Legislative Assembly was studied and covered before the Sovietization of Georgia (until 1921). In our monograph, which will be completed soon, the reader will have the opportunity to learn how the mentioned issue was studied from the second half of the 19th century until today.
