Abstract

National autonomies of the Bolsheviks in practice in the early 1920s: Contradictions and double standards in the South Caucasus

Abstract

The article examines the double standards in the Bolshevik national policy in the South Caucasus in the 1920s on the basis of political and administrative criteria. Any objective criteria were applied or taken into account only if they coincided with the conjectural interests of the central government. Otherwise, neither demographic, socio-economic, nor historical areas of residence of this or that ethnicity were taken into account. If necessary, geographical and demographic indicators were artificially adjusted to the plans of Bolshevik leaders ruling the country behind the scenes, which was analysed on the example of Armenian-Azerbaijani territorial contradictions.

Keywords: national autonomies, South Caucasus, political and administrative boundaries
