On 20 September 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Soviet Georgia. The result of the discussion was not moved.

[Untitled][edit]

Isn't the following sentence just a wee bit POV:

"Under Stalin's rule, many Georgians were executed. Under Khrushchev, the government was decentralized and the Georgian Communist Party rose in power. Alongside it, a black market economy and corruption grew. Eduard Shevardnadze worked for years to fight this corruption from the mid 1960s until 1985, when he was appointed Soviet Foreign Minister."

i mean, doesn't it really read: the Communists (Stalinists) were really wicked, then along came the man who started off the whole decopmmunisting process (Krustchev) and things started to get better until along came nice Mr. Shevardnadze (who'd never been a member of the Communist Party of course, God forbid!) who brought neoliberalism (oos, I mean Democracy) to Georgia.

Proposed move to Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic[edit]

It seems that given that the formal name for this nation was "Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic", the soviet prefix abbreviation (-"SSR") shouldn't be in the full article name. Therefore, I propose to move the article to its full form, Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic. We wouldn't have an article about North Korea titled "DPRK", would we? --Micahbrwn (talk) 09:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicated main body section[edit]

The main body of the article appears to be duplicated. I would just delete it but I don't want to remove anything that should be left in. If somebody's actively editing this page, please take a closer look at it. Lime in the Coconut 18:37, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Languages: Georgia/ Russian"?[edit]

According to this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_Georgian_demonstrations Georgian was only official language in Georgian SSR. Yeowe (talk) 16:50, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing about Soviet crimes[edit]

Article editing[edit]

There are certain users who have been editing other SSR articles on Wikipedia for the past year, by stating that the soviet republics existed until the adoption of their new constitutions in the mid-1990s.

Georgian SSR declared itself independent and changed its name to Georgia in 1991, and there are absolutely no arguments to back up that this state existed until 1995. That would be rewriting history. A new state is not just a matter of all-new constitutions, but also of its status and form of government. Afghanistan has had a lot of states since the abolishment of monarchy in the 1970s: the First Republic (1973–1978), Democratic Republic/Second Republic (1978–1992), the Islamic State (1992–2001), the Islamic Emirate (1996–2001), the Afghan Interim Administration (2001–2002), the Afghan Transitional Administration (2002–2004), and the present-day Islamic Republic since 2004. Yet they have only had four constitutions since then: 1976, 1987, 1990 and 2004. Is that to say that we should change these yearspans totally as well, so that most of these states didn't exist? The People's Republic of Hungary ended in 1989, but an all-new constitution was first made in 2011. Should we also say that the PR of Hungary existed until 2011, then? That would make little sense. Although Georgia did not adopt a new constitution before 1995, there's no doubt about that it was a totally different state. It had a totally different form of government, its name was changed, it was an independent state (not a federated state), it was not a Soviet socialist republic. These factors are a lot more independent than the adoption of an all-new constitution. And although the constitution was not all-new, and formally the same constitution although heavily amended, it was amended to fit a new state and was not really the same constitution in practice. You'll have to agree that the 1991 transition is a lot more historically significant change in Georgia's history than the adoption of a new constitution.

Totally agree with you. Stating that Georgia (or any other former Soviet country) remained SSR until the mid-1990s is a blatant OR.--Kober^Talk 20:40, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Biased[edit]

"one of the republics of the Soviet Union from its second occupation (by Russia) in 1921 to its independence in 1991" sigh. Please change this obviously biased language.

Move discussion in progress[edit]
