The Soviet republic of Georgia, located in the mountainous Caucasus region, received the same nation-building template as other national republics of the USSR. Yet Stalin's Georgian heritage, intimate knowledge of Caucasian affairs, and personal involvement in local matters as he ascended to prominence left his homeland to confront a distinct set of challenges after his death in 1953. Utilizing Georgian archives and Georgian-language sources, Claire P. Kaiser argues that the postwar and post-Stalin era was decisive in the creation of a "Georgian" Georgia. This was due not only to the peculiar role played by the Stalin cult in the construction of modern Georgian nationhood but also to the subsequent changes that de-Stalinization wrought among Georgia's populace and in the unusual imperial relationship between Moscow and Tbilisi. Kaiser describes how the Soviet empire could be repressive yet also encourage opportunities for advancement – for individual careers as well as for certain nationalities. The creation of national hierarchies of entitlement could be as much about local and republic-level imperial imaginations as those of a Moscow center. This book reveals that the entitled, republic-level national hierarchies that the Soviet Union created laid a foundation for the claims of nationalizing states that would emerge from the empire's wake in 1991. Today, Georgia still grapples with the legacies of its Soviet century, and the Stalin factor likewise lingers as new generations of Georgians reevaluate the symbiotic relationship between Soso Jughashvili and his native land.Zusammenfassung: Introduction : Pantheon as Past and Present -- History, Nation, and Local Foundations of the Stalin Cult -- Entitled Foreign Policy and its Limits -- Expulsions and Ethnic Consolidation -- De-Stalinization, kartulad -- A Georgian Tbilisi -- Entangled Nationalisms -- Epilogue : Stalin's Ghosts.Zusammenfassung: "Drawing on extensive research in Georgian archives and Georgian-language sources, this book argues that the postwar and post-Stalin era was decisive in the creation of a 'Georgian' Georgia due to not only the role played by the Stalin cult in the construction of Georgian nationhood but also the changes that de-Stalinization wrought among Georgia's populace and in the relationship between Moscow and Tbilisi"--
