Georgia’s ethnic composition, which changed from one historical epoch to another, is a product of certain political, social, and economic factors. This led to certain migration trends that changed the size of particular ethnic groups. Georgian academic Vakhtang Jaoshvili identified the major stages in the process that led to changes in Georgia’s ethnic composition: from the Middle Ages to the late 18th century; from the early 19th century to the establishment of Soviet power in 1921, and from 1921 to the Soviet Union’s disintegration.[1] Today we can speak about the fourth stage: from 1991, when Georgia became independent, to the present day.
