Abstract
In Transcaucasia, as in other regions of the former Russian Empire, Soviets sprang up after the February Revolution. During the summer of 1917 representatives of these Soviets had a formed a Transcaucasian Center of Soviets, which had its headquarters in Tiflis and which ran the organization in Transcaucasia. True, the Provinsional Government in Petrograd had set up a regional administration center, the Extra-ordinary Transcaucasian Committee — known by its Russian abbreviation Ozakom, but the real power nevertheless remained in the hands of the Soviets, who in their turn were entirely ruled by the Mensheviks under the more or less generally recognized leadership of Noe Zhordania.1
