| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Oleg Airapetov [REGNUM] On November 1 (14), 1917, it became known in Transcaucasia that the Bolsheviks had been defeated in Petrograd. The Public Security Committee in Tiflis called on the population of the region to calm down. In fact, the political leadership knew what had happened. Formally, the Transcaucasian Commissariat headed by the Menshevik Yevgeny Gegechkori, where representatives of nationalist parties played a leading role, became the highest authority in the region since November 15, 1917. |
