Although, this was a dangerous move, as the May 26 represented the symbol of the independent statehood of Georgia; thus, it was immediately abandoned by the communist regime. From 1922, the Soviet Rule prohibited the celebration of the May 26 and it was substituted by the February 25 – the day of entrance of the Russian Red Army in Tbilisi, which was declared as the day of the “Soviet Georgia.”}, issn = {2449-2833}, url = {https://test.psage.tsu.ge/index.php/Politics/article/view/107} }
