Annotation

The book explores how Georgians - just a small fraction of the USSR’s population - first gained political power and later achieved significant cultural and economic success. It examines what the narrative of “living well” in the Soviet Union was based on, how Georgian cuisine became widely popular, and where the Georgian passion for self-exoticization originates.

In search of answers, Eric R. Scott analyzes the relationship between Soviet imperialism and Georgians as an “internal diaspora,” as well as the various factors that shaped the complex and multi-dimensional ties between the center and the southern republic.
