Abstract:
In the first half of the 19th century, Caucasians fought against the
Russian Empire for keeping the independence. In the North Caucasus,
the Russian Empire was consolidating its dominance with fire
and sword, in the subjugated Transcaucasia it was decided to carry
out a number of reforms in order to achieve the final integration of
the Transcaucasia into the Empire. The goal of the supreme power
was to turn this metropolis of the empire into a party that would
be politically credible and economically as profitable as possible. Implementation of this program, Tsarism attempted through the various
ways, the most important of which were the colonization and
Russification of the country. Military settlements were established
mainly throughout the Caucasus to strengthen the Russian colony.
In order to provide the Georgian military road, the military population
was accommodated on it. During some period, from the small
towns the whole villages were formed, which were called Sinor, such
as Manglisi, Белый Ключ, (White Spring), Царские Колодцы (Dedoplistskaro),
Gombori, Lagodekhi and etc. The present topic discusses
and introduces works of authors unknown to Georgian historiography
into the scientific movement.
