Small Tribe Resisfs
Domination of Russia

Though technically a part of the
old Roman empire under the rule OF
the czars. the Russians in reality
never conquered Svanetla, which has
been occupied by an isolated mountain
tribe occupying a small area in the
heart of the Caucasus mountains. The
Svanetian state, supposed to have
been founded nearly 1900 years ago,
has been republic ever since, MAX
Ing 1t the Oldest republic in the world.
In 1921, when the Communists extend
ed their power along the Black sen,
they decided to attempt to conquer
Svanetia. The Swans sent delega-
ton down to warn the troops that II
would be vain for them to try to break
through the mountain barrier. The
Russian captain refused to take heed.
He went through southern Svanetla
without trouble. With his battalion
of 400 men marching single file along
the trail he came to the almost path
less route on the cliffs overhanging
the River INCUR, and there was
trapped, Forty Swans, grouped or the
opposite bank of the river, shot down
the 400 Russian troops Later, how
ever, the Russians entered Svanetia
by using machine guns, but II was an
empty victory for them, because The
Swans never have yielded to outside
dictation,-Asla Magazine.
