Giorgi Tchkadua of Ilia State University in Georgia, PhD candidate under our own Alexander Mikaberidze, helps unpack the multiplicity of riddles which makes up the fascinatingly complex power dynamics in the Caucasus before, during and after the 1792-1815 period.
In this episode you'll learn:
How Russian expansion into the Caucasus took place following failures by their Ottoman and Persian rivals
Why the patchwork of kingdoms and khanates in the region proved so elusive for imperial domination
And above all, how from the perspective of those living in the Caucasus the big powers were themselves being played - in a local struggle for power even more compelling than you'd think.
