 The Georgian affair of 1922 - policy failure, personality clash or power struggle? - ©Welcome2Sakartvelo
Ordzhonikidze's role in the invasion of Georgia was typical of his later handling of Caucasian affairs; he paid no attention to the opinions of his subordinates, while persistently presenting Moscow with his own demands (as opposed to seeking guidance) and, where this failed, he would present a fait accompli.

Ordzhonikidze's political conviction that the unity of Transcaucasia overrode other considerations, and his strong aversion to all manifestations of nationalism, combined with his arrogant disposition and short temper to contribute to the crisis in Georgia.
