Abstract

The publication concerns the state turnover in 1991-1992, the dramatic event in the recent history of Georgia, and its description in the modern Georgian historiography. Academic textbooks and historic scientific researchers are discussed in chronological order, pursuant to the years of publication. They show the political situation of this period. Historiographic research in this field has never been conducted and this article represents the novelty. Publication shows the attitudes of the book authors toward the event. The author of the article concludes that scientific research in this field will be carried on more intensively since this issue is very actual.
