Isn't the following sentence just a wee bit POV:

"Under Stalin's rule, many Georgians were executed. Under Khrushchev, the government was decentralized and the Georgian Communist Party rose in power. Alongside it, a black market economy and corruption grew. Eduard Shevardnadze worked for years to fight this corruption from the mid 1960s until 1985, when he was appointed Soviet Foreign Minister."

i mean, doesn't it really read: the Communists (Stalinists) were really wicked, then along came the man who started off the whole decopmmunisting process (Krustchev) and things started to get better until along came nice Mr. Shevardnadze (who'd never been a member of the Communist Party of course, God forbid!) who brought neoliberalism (oos, I mean Democracy) to Georgia.

[edit] Proposed move to Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic

It seems that given that the formal name for this nation was "Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic", the soviet prefix abbreviation (-"SSR") shouldn't be in the full article name. Therefore, I propose to move the article to its full form, Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic. We wouldn't have an article about North Korea titled "DPRK", would we? --Micahbrwn (talk) 09:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
