About this listen

 In this episode, Stefan Kirmse talks to two young scholars, Anna Tchintscharauli and Bastian Marx, who share an intriguing and little-known research topic: the Khevsurs of northern Georgia. How did imperial and Soviet observers see and describe this group, and how did and do the Khevsurs see themselves? What can the Khevsur perspective contribute to the history of the Soviet deportation of the Chechens and Ingush?
