CHAPTERS IN THE HISTORY OF GEORGIA 107
Russian Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, whose central
government is in Moscow. In this way Transcaucasia was
really incorporated once more in the great Russian State.
This outcome of so many untoward events was doubtless
inevitable, and necessary for the sake of stability. Standing
alone, these republics could not have held their own against
their more powerful neighbours.
As things are, it seems probable that the future both of the
Georgians and the Armenians will best be safeguarded by
adherence to the Russian State, but with a free and independent
Government, which will administer the internal affairs of these
nations, watch over and promote the development of their
characteristic civilizations, and permit them to live their own
life, with their own language and institutions, unhampered
by restrictive measures like the unfortunate attempts of the
Tsarist Government to Russianize them.
