Was he a self-hating Georgian?
Khlevuik suggests Stalin did everything he could to immerse himself in Russian culture. In 1950, he actually stipulated that only an ethnic Russian would be allowed to succeed him.
What's the deal?
But he surrounded himself with and only truly trusted his fellow eternal Georgians.
Were Georgians genocided?
No?
>>1956661
Stalin didn't genocide anybody
>>1956673
because the USSR excluded the phrase "on the basis of social class" from the definition of genocide in the U.N.
either way, a lot of people died
>>1955407
No. He was a Georgian Nationalist and surrounded himself with Georgians like Beria. He hated colonialism and imperialism but respected the night and force of the Russian empire.

*might
Nope. He was a Russophile but he still liked Georgia obviously.
More importantly, he was a communist.
>>1956673
Except the finns, the cossacks, the chechens, the tatars, the estonians, the lithuanians, the latvians...

Fighting rebels of a certain ethnicity != feminising that ethnicity
>>1955407
He probably didn't give a fuck about Georgians or Russians.

>Daring to speak your own language = Rebeling.

pure ideology
>>1957361
Soviets promoted minority languages as well as bilingual education
Most Central Asian peoples didn't even have a fucking alphabet until the Stalin period
>>1957361
They never had their languages suppressed
>>1957429
The early USSR promoted the languages of national minorities, but Stalin threw that out the window.
>>1957429
Stalin was a bit more paranoid about some minorities like karelians that even speaking their own language usually got you sent to gulags. After ww2 they pretty much all got told to fuck off from their homes and they didnt even get to move back until after Stalin died.
>>1957324
Genociding, not feminising. Autocorrect.
>>1957324
Fighting != grain confiscation during a famine caused by government incompetence
>>1957381
and sho on, and sho on, sniff
>>1957324
Forced deportation of Chechens post war to a literal desert and massacres of civilian populace where 1/3 of the population is killed is not fighting rebels
