So, about Georgia...

[Colonel_here]

During the chaos of the Bolshevik Revolution, Georgia quickly and quietly seperated. Five years later, the Red Army stopped by.

So they created their own faction during the civil war. There was not much recognition of independence of Georgia by other countries. There were also other parts of Russia that can claim the same conquest when the local government declared independence. In the end the border of Georgian SSR were based on the old Imperial province borders, which originally were based on the borders of original Georgian kingdoms.
