 Avtandil Menteshashvili - Some national and ethnic problems in Georgia (1918-1922)
"The Soviet government", continued G. Chicherin, "regards it its duty to point out that the southern counter-revolution was and is a deathly enemy not only for the Russian Soviet Republic, but for all the small nations that used to be parts of the former Russian Empire" (*95).
Soviet Russia acted upon the concepts of benefit of the strategic position of Transcaucasia and its oil fields, upon the interests of the world revolution and proletarian internationalism expressed through an idea of "bringing liberation to the workers on the bayonets of the Red Army" (*99).
But that very standpoint of the Soviet government was an open intervention into the internal affairs of the Georgian Republic with an obvious violation of clauses 2 and 3 in the treaty of May 7 subject to which the RSFSR had recognized South Ossetia as an integral part of Georgia.

The republic’s political elite, who were all fighting for shares of the pie, were wary of installing a presidential mode of government, since that would inevitably give an advantage to the president’s ethnic group.
On June 28, 1992, during a period marked by an escalating struggle for power in the republic’s government and rising separatist trends in the ethnic groups of Kumyks, Nogays, Lezghin and Cossacks, a referendum was held on the question of a presidency in Dagestan.

Within a few years the Mountain Republic disintegrated and the Circassians were divided into three categories as the Adyge, the Cherkess and the Kabardians, while the Karachay-Balkars were divided as well.
