Abstract
The Georgian people were not used to Soviet Russia conquering their country, and they began fighting for independence the day the Soviets arrived. Throughout the period 1921-1992, forces in Georgia and abroad inevitably fought in the guise of Georgians using a variety of methods, including violent and intellectual warfare.
