Abstract
In the travel diaries of foreign confidants we have found the reasons for the high degree of poverty and socio-economic decline described in Odishi's life in the structure of the conquest plan of a low political culture empire. The Russian Empire is waiting for an opportune moment in its ambush position to torture the Odishi principality with its socio-economic, demographic policies, de facto and de jure, and turn the ancient trade routes between Georgia and Europe and Asia, namely the Turkish Sea into the Black Sea. At least in part, it turned into a lake in Russia. Under these conditions, the empire fully described the natural resources of Odishi, made it a raw material supplement, and applied its demographic transformation as well.
Highlights
From the moment the Russian government came under the rule of Odishi in 1803, it aimed at the external, political improvement of the Russian government here which was seen only in the factors of the concession of its own imperial-colonial multifaceted interests in his favor
All the confidential missions were part of the plan of these states, for example, as Gamba notes, he traveled to the Caucasus because it paved the way for "French merchants and industrialists who came to Georgia and the Caucasus in search of fortune" (Gamba, 1987)
There are amazing pastures and vineyards, peaches, figs, pomegranates, a flock of sheep, pigs, mulberry trees, herds, corn, millet, first –rate tobacco that equals to the one of Virginia."Krasnoye Derevo" -Taxusbaccata, which can be used in shipbuilding; ulmus, walnut, oak and dense bark. He collects information on golden sand grains brought from the Tskhenistskali to Phasis, sometimes accompanied by gold fragments, and "the soil is so fertile that many countries cannot even compare" (Gamba, 1987) When the empire unconditionally issued a verdict on Georgia, the continuation of which seemed to be an excessive burden on Russia, the facts described by Gamba spoke of a different reality
Summary
From the moment the Russian government came under the rule of Odishi in 1803, it aimed at the external, political improvement of the Russian government here which was seen only in the factors of the concession of its own imperial-colonial multifaceted interests in his favor. Besides the Russian Empire, the states of Odishi were interested in Georgia and in particular in Odisha. Given the convenient location of Georgia and the prospects of turning Odishi (Samegrelo) into the main transit center of Europe-Asia trade, they were constantly sent missions, so in 1819-1824 France, in particular the Prime Minister Richelieu sent Jacques François Gamba to learn about opportunities to use Georgia for the trade interests of their countries. In order for France, in the event of a favorable international political situation in the Caucasus, to take stock in a timely manner and take advantage of the prospects of turning Samegrelo into the future transit center of Europe-Asia trade. The German state sent Eduard Aichwald to Odisha in 1825-1826, Maurice Wagner in 1843-1846, Huxthausen in 1843, and the Russian Borozdin from 1854 in Samegrelo
