Nikoloz Chkheidze (Georgian: ნიკოლოზ (კარლო) ჩხეიძე; Russian: Никола́й (Карло) Семёнович Чхеи́дзе, Nikolay Semyonovich Chkhidze) commonly known as Karlo Chkheidze (21 March [O.S. 9] 1864 – 13 June 1926), was a Georgian politician. In the 1890s, he promoted the Social Democratic movement in Georgia. He became a key figure in the Russian Revolution (February 1917 to October 1917) as the Menshevik president of the Executive Committee of the Soviet of Petrograd (until September 1917). Later he served as president of the Transcaucasian Sejm (February 1918 to May 1918), and he held office in the Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic (April–May 1918). Later he became president of parliamentary assemblies of the Democratic Republic of Georgia, National Council, Constituent Assembly and Parliament (May 1918 to March 1921).^[1]

Democratic Republic of Georgia[edit]

On 26 May 1918, the Act of Independence of Georgia was adopted, Chkheidze was elected chairman of the National Council of Georgia: this Georgian Provisional Assembly decided to appoint a government, to prepare elections and to create a constitutional commission. In February 1919 he was elected a member of the Constituent Assembly of Georgia and on March 12 president of this assembly, but could not participate in its first session because he was located in Paris. Chairing the Georgian delegation to the Versailles Conference, he tried to gain the Entente's support for the Democratic Republic of Georgia. He also proposed to Georges Clemenceau and to David Lloyd George a French or British protectorate for Georgian foreign affairs and defense, but was unsuccessful.^[7] Chkheidze, who had 14 years of parliamentary life experience, oversaw the writing of the Constitution by Razhden Arsenidze and 14 other MPs of the majority and the opposition.

France[edit]

In March 1921, when the Red Army invaded Georgia, Chkheidze fled with his family to France via Constantinople.^[8] In 1923 and 1924, as part of the Social Democratic Labour Party of Georgia in exile, Chkheidze opposed a national uprising in Georgia. Chkheidze, Irakly Tsereteli, Datiko Sharashidze, and Kale Kavtaradze formed a group called Oppozitsia. In their mind, the Red Army and Cheka were too strong, and the unarmed Georgian people too weak. After the August Uprising of 1924, 10,000 Georgians were executed, and between 50,000 and 100,000 Georgians were deported to Siberia or to Central Asia.

Death[edit]

On 13 June 1926, Chkheidze committed suicide, in his official residence in Leuville-sur-Orge, France. He was buried in Paris, in the Père Lachaise Cemetery.^[9]

Mõned fotod-postkaardid Venemaa ajalugu muutnud sündmustest-aegadest... eks ajalugu ole tõlgendamise küsimus ja suht väheoluline Aurora ja kahuripauk sai ajaloos ülitähtsaks alles hiljem ...  need ühe eesti mehe ainuke varandus, kes oli üle elanud nõukaaja Piiteris ja Leningradi blokaadi saksa ajal... need olid ainukesed asjad, mis tal eelnevast elus alles olid ja kaasa tuua, kui hiljem jalgsi eestisse tagasi tuli... kõik mu vähegi väärtusliku vahetas blokaadi ajal toidu vastu... vahetus sakslastega ju kogu aeg toimus, just a business, eks mõlemal poolel vahendajad teenisid sellega korralikult... Albert Truus, 1904.a. Peterburi Laevaremonditehases töötas... 1944 tuli tagasi Eestisse, üsna nõrk ja jõuetu, doktor Puusepp olevat mingi dieediga ta üles turgutanud ja taas jalule aidanud...

Fotod A.I Tsenter ja Jakob V. Šteinberg, trükitud postkaardid ka viimase fotode järgi ja/või ta enda poolt välja antud samal ajal...

Ümberpildistused ehk reprod talvisel ajal akna peal tavarežiimis väga kõikuvad... aga kõik oluline peaks näha olema, kui vaadata suuremat pilti... kord päike, aga enamasti tume pilv... see seeria korralikult skännituna ka olemas... kunagi ühele Austraalia kolleegile jagasin vene ajaloo õpiku jaoks... kurtis, et Vene arhiividest-muuseumitest  trükikõlbuliku faili ja/või ka originaalide ostmine liiga kallis...
