რატომ მოკლეს ილია ჭავჭავაძე

Abstract

The period from 1905 to 1907 saw the intensification of the process of consolidation of national political forces. The idea of restoration of a national state became popular. It started with the creation of National-Democratic Party and the strengthening movement for restoration of the Autocephaly of the Georgian Orthodox Church. During this period, Ilia Tchavtchavadze became a political leader and a main figure in the movement for the restoration of statehood. All branches of the national movement were gathering around him. Nevertheless the personality of Ilia Tchavtchavadze appeared to be unacceptable for the opponents of Georgian statehood, especially for the Russian government and the Social-Democratic Party.
