[edit] Double standards?

Compare this article and that one. I think it would be fair if they were named Soviet-Georgian War and Sochi conflict or Red Army invasion of Georgia and Georgian invasion of Black Sea Coast (or something like that). Personally I favour the first set of names but both of them are better than the current situation. Alæxis_¿question? 07:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Alæxis, please stop these puerile games that border on trolling. Try to find just one scholarly source mentioning Georgian invasion of Black Sea Coast. The comparison of these two conflicts is simply ridiculous.--Kober^Talk 08:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Huh, haven't I written it clearly enough? Again, I favour the first set of names. Alæxis_¿question? 08:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Sorry for that. But what was the purpose of this yet another round of chat then? --Kober^Talk 09:54, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I probably should've written this at Soviet-Georgian War article talk. I'll propose the renaming there soon. Alæxis_¿question? 10:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Prefix "Soviet-" usually refers to the Soviet Union and not to the Soviet (council). By the time of the war Soviet Union did not exist. Formally, red army handed power from Mensheviks to the Soviets (council), and Georgian SSR was established, wich then joined Transcaucasian SFSR, which then joined Soviet Union upon its establishment.
