Abstract:
After abolishment of the Russian monarchy, Varlam Cherkezishvili was
back from long-term emigration. First he went to Russia, then – Georgia.
August-November of 1917 is a period of his involvement in construction of
national state institutions.
Documents show that Varlam Cherkezishvili was extremely active in
national interparty council. He was negotiating with the Russian political and
military leaders for creation of national military units, he also took part in
organizing of I national congress, etc.
All the documents show him as Ivane Cherkezishvili from socialist
revolutionary party. This way he tried to hide himself. Indeed, as anarchist he
felt uncomfortable taking part in state building.
