A Georgian communist who challenged coercive centralization
At Ordzhonikidze’s home in 1922, he called Sergo “Stalin’s donkey” and was promptly struck.
Akaki Kabakhidze was a Georgian communist active in the Georgian party leadership in the early 1920s. In the dispute over Moscow’s proposed Transcaucasian unification, he stood with local party cadres defending regional autonomy and national rights. After calling Sergo Ordzhonikidze “Stalin’s donkey” in 1922, he was struck by Ordzhonikidze, an incident that helped prompt Lenin’s criticism of coercion in the Georgian Affair.
