This 1974 monograph by A. A. Rogava is a significant Marxist-Leninist historical analysis of the socio-economic transformations in 18th-century Georgia. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the transition from late feudalism to early mercantile capitalism, including the arrangement of chapters that analyze the economic reforms and foreign policy of King Heraclius II (Erekle II). Rogava argues that the nascent capitalist elements within Georgian society were a primary catalyst for the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti's decision to seek closer ties with the Russian Empire, culminating in the Treaty of Georgievsk. The work explores Heraclius II's socio-political theories regarding the unification of the fragmented Georgian principalities and the strategic necessity of a Russian alliance to protect emerging trade and industrial interests from Ottoman and Persian incursions.  As a vital primary source, this volume documents the mid-20th-century Soviet historiographical approach to the "progressive" nature of Georgia's integration into the Russian economic sphere. Published in a limited edition of 2,000 copies by the Javakhishvili Institute, this hardcover volume is a significant bibliographical rarity for historians of the Caucasus, researchers of 18th-century geopolitics, and scholars of economic history.
