The article examines the princely internecine war in
Svaneti in the first half - the middle of the XIX century. This conflict
between representatives of two different branches of the princely family of
Dadeshkeliani took place against the backdrop of the Caucasian war. The Svanet
princes tried to use Russia to defeat their rivals in the struggle for power.
The Russian empire used internecine strife to assert its authority in the
region. The lack of a coherent political line in relations with Svaneti led the
Russian administration to the periodic escalation of the conflict. Inconsistent
imperial policy was the reason for the killing of Kutaisi Governor-General
Alexander Gagarin, who fell at the hands of Prince Constantine Dadeshkeliani.
The article is based on both published and unpublished (archival) historical
sources.

В статье рассматривается княжеская
междоусобная война в Сванетии в первой половине – середине XIX в. Этот конфликт
между представителями двух различных ветвей княжеского рода Дадешкелиани
проходил на фоне Кавказской войны. Сванетские князья пытались использовать
Россию для победы над конкурентами в борьбе за власть. Российская империя
использовала междоусобицу для утверждения своей власти в регионе. Отсутствие
стройной политической линии в отношениях со Сванетией привело российскую
администрацию к периодической эскалации конфликта. Непоследовательная имперская
политика стала причиной убийства кутаисского генерал-губернатора Александра
Гагарина, павшего от руки князя Константина Дадешкелиани. В основе статьи как
опубликованные, так и неопубликованные (архивные) исторические источники.
