Abstract
The prominent Georgian Social-Democrat Akaki Chkhenkeli was elected in 1912 as a member of the Fourth State Duma of Russia. Initially, it was believed that A. Chkhenkeli supported cultural-national autonomy for Georgia. During his famous speech in the Duma on December 10, 1912, A. Chkhenkeli effectively put forward the demand for political autonomy for Georgia. The demands he listed corresponded more to political autonomy than to cultural-national autonomy.
He believed that Social Democrats should equally fight not only for social equality, but also for achieving national freedom.
A. Chkhenkeli's such national position was sharply criticized by V. Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Subsequently, the position of Lenin and the Georgian Bolsheviks was entirely shared by Soviet historiography.
Our goal was to substantiate Akaki Khankheli's special role and merit in Georgian Social-Democracy through the initial raising, and then the implementation, of national-state priorities. He, more than anyone else, played a decisive role in the process of the nationalization of Georgian Social-Democracy. In this regard, it is entirely possible to speak of the Akaki Chkhenkeli factor, in the process of Georgian Social-Democracy's turn toward national-state values - which began in the 1910s and was particularly realized during the three-year existence of the First Republic of Georgia. Akaki Chkhenkeli truly earned a special and honorable place among Georgian patriots.
For a long time, Soviet historiography labeled Akaki Chkhenkeli's national position as bourgeois-nationalist and believed that his goal was the restoration of a bourgeois-landowner state. An objective assessment of Akaki Chkhenkeli's work became possible in the conditions of modern free Georgian historiography.
