The Russian Factor in the Historiography of Azerbaijani–Georgian Relations: A Comparative Analysis of Scholarly Approaches and Conceptual Frameworks

Öz

This article examines interpretations of the Russian factor in the historiography of Azerbaijani–Georgian relations in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It compares scholarly approaches, identifies their evidentiary foundations, and explains differences between interpretations. Historical analysis covers 1783–1813, whereas the historiographical corpus spans the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. The study combines comparative analysis, contextualisation of historical knowledge, and critical examination of terminology. It considers imperial military histories, early twentieth-century Georgian scholarship, Soviet and post-Soviet research, and English-language studies. The analysis identifies differences concerning political agency, treaty obligations, and the relationship between imperial intentions and administrative practice. It demonstrates that extensive documentation does not eliminate the influence of source selection on historical conclusions. Explanations emphasising protection, territorial expansion, international rivalry, and local rulers’ independent diplomatic initiatives are differentiated. Decisions of the Russian government are distinguished from actions of Caucasian commanders and the interests of khanates and Georgian political actors. The article contributes a framework for comparing these levels across historical problems. The approach guards against projecting modern borders and assumptions of national unity onto earlier political relations. It concludes that explaining changes in regional relations requires attention to diverse interests, historically specific decision-making circumstances, and the evidentiary basis of competing interpretations.
