Many Georgians, particularly the youth and post-Soviet generations, have found themselves at odds with the nation’s political scene. Asking anyone in the country will elicit a wide range of symptoms and diagnoses to the socio-political ailments facing Georgia. However, one group has taken a far different position as to what needs to change.
Giorgi Chelidze is the leader of Georgian National Unity, one of the nation’s more polarizing organizations. Depending on who is asked, he is either a hero or a villain, a uniting figure or a radical extremist. Despite spending several years in prison, he has taken again to the political sphere to continue his work. GEORGIA TODAY spoke with Chelidze about what motivated him to follow this path, his response to “hate group” accusations, and what his plans for the future include.

What inspired you to establish this organization?
As a result of 70 years of communist rule and 30 years of liberal rule, Georgia was included in the top five dying nations, and it is assumed that by 2050, ethnically, by blood, the number of Georgians will be halved. The country is occupied and not only by Russia. It has territories seized by all four neighbors.
Apart from the occupation of Abkhazia and Samachablo by Russia, creeping occupation continues every day. Most recently, Turkey allegedly took six hectares of land from us under the motive of changing a river bed, while it has already seized Artun, Artaan and Oltis and the treacherous government signed off on it.
In 2005, Armenia, captured the Lore-Tashir region and occupied the Arpi National Forest Park and the Hujab monastery complex, on which the previous and current authorities are silent. In 2017, they wanted to officially transfer this land to Armenia, but we exposed and foiled this treacherous plot. Azerbaijan, in addition to the fact that it captured Hereti, has recently additionally occupied some monasteries of the Davit-Gareji monastery complex.
The country has the worst economic and social situation: according to the ratings, we are the unhappiest country in the region, where every fourth child is hungry, and due to the lack of vitamins, talented Georgian children find it difficult to make sense of what they read. In the region and in relation to Europe, food, utility bills, fuel, medical expenses are the most expensive in our country. Bank interest is the highest, with the absolute majority of the population now in debt. Georgians are fleeing the country en masse and people of foreign races, nation, and ethnicity are taking their place.
Almost all strategic objects and natural resources of the country have been sold: gold and precious stone deposits, gas and oil, manganese, fresh and mineral waters, and others. When there is nothing left to sell above and below the ground, they sell their land not only here to foreigners, a process which has also been temporarily stopped thanks to our participation. It was stopped, but, in the literal sense of the word, fertile Georgian land is cut and sold abroad.
I got involved in the political life of the country from an early age. However, I had a turning point in Sakartvelo when I got to know the work of the first and last legitimate president of Georgia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, and his loyal comrade Merab Kostava, both of whom are considered national heroes of Georgia.
I became interested in the reasons for their overthrow and murder, and that’s how I learned about international Jewry, which almost simultaneously led to the appearance of fascist and national socialist ideology in my life. I read works by Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Julius Evola, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ernst Junger Schroem, as well as Grigol Robakidze and Konstantine Gamsakhurdia, the philosophical fathers of Georgian fascism. I learned that about 45,000 Georgians fought on the side of Germany in the Second World War to liberate their homeland from the communist red plague. I learned that humanity is divided into races and that Georgia is the origin and beginning of the white race.
After learning the truth, I realized the only way to save the motherland and the only way to return the old greatness and power of Georgia, which is our historical and divine right. I decided to form the fascist movement “Georgian National Unity” and quickly implemented it.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine made us decide to create a civil defense organization, “Georgian National Peace”, whose task is to provide volunteer support to the Georgian armed forces and, if necessary, start a partisan movement. Despite the fact that we registered the organization due to the request of the treacherous government and the opposition, the ministry of defense, whose duty is to train us, does not give us an answer, in violation of the law, to our official statement, so we started preparing ourselves.
How would you describe the current social and political scene in Georgia?
I have already told you about the nation’s most difficult social and economic background. As for the political situation, on April 9, 1991, Zviad Gamsakhurdia restored Georgia’s independence, but on January 6, 1992, traitors violently overthrew it with the help of external forces – Communist Russia and the liberal West. They killed him. Since then, the country has been ruled by a junta – a political establishment of communists and liberals, working simultaneously for communist Russia and the liberal West.
Today, there are two main political forces in the country: “Georgian Dream”, the so-called government, which is a follower of Marxist ideology and is officially a member of the Socialist Party of Europe, and the opposition “Party of the United Nations”, not a national party, because this party has nothing to do with nationalism, and are a bearer of liberal ideology. They are officially a member of the European People’s Liberal Party. The rest of the parties, who are active on the political surface, are the descendants of these two parties and are more or less connected with them.
Both of these parties are playing a double game – politically and economically they are working on a fully communist Russia, ideologically on the wing of liberal Westerners bound to communist Russia, and with the methods of hybrid war – with multiculturalism, religious sects, drugs, perverted sexual relations and promiscuity, they methodically destroy the Georgian nation, so that then all four neighbors and especially communist Russia can easily conquer us. Both of them jointly destroy any national movement that gains support in the nation.
This is how Merab Kostava, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, Guram Sharadze were killed in the recent past. They saw that our movement had gained sympathy in the nation, immediately they put me in prison for several years, where they punished me in inhumane conditions in order to retaliate, punish and physically and psychologically break me. The fate of our country, our nation, which is the origin of the white race and has a divine mission, is at stake!
Specifically, what are the greatest hindrances to advancement that the country faces?
The first is legal, the second is ideological. In 1921, Soviet Russia occupied Georgia and annexed it, which was recognized by the whole civilized world, including the League of Nations, as occupation and annexation. In 1945, the United Nations was created, which declared itself the legal successor of the League of Nations and recognized all its decisions.
In 1991, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, the only future president of Georgia, the national hero of Georgia, restored (and did not announce) the restoration of Georgia’s independence on the basis of May 26, 1918, that is, he restored the Democratic Republic of Georgia of 1918-1921, although after his overthrow, the traitor Shevardnadze, and as a result of the betrayal of the military junta, the United Nations declared Georgia the legal successor of Soviet Georgia of 1921-1991, which means that Georgia is still occupied and there is no freedom. A mistake was made by the UN, and as in the case of the Baltic states, we did not declare ourselves as the legal heirs of Soviet Georgia.
Second, from 1992 until now, legally, Soviet Georgia, which is opposed to the referendum of April 9, 1991, is ruled by illegitimate governments. The continuation of the junta by traitors to the motherland, the Marxist and liberal mob, has led to the country being plundered, built, destroyed, and laid waste to. The only remedy for both of these problems is fascism, which includes the soul, mind, will of the race, the nation as a whole, and it unites the political, economic, religious, traditions, customs, morals and moral issues, and, together, can immediately and totally solve all problems at the same time in the shortest possible time!
Some here have called you a “hate group” or an “extremist organization.” What is your reaction?
Let’s review this question in two parts: Juridical and political-ideological. First, fascism isn’t judged by any international juridical norm, standard, or tribunal. Only German National Socialism was judged by the Nuremberg tribunal. Our fascist movement “Georgian National Unity ” and the civic self-defense organization “Georgian National Squad” are juridically and officially registered organizations, based on Georgia’s law, and use Georgian historical ethnographic symbols.
Nobody registers and gives juridical status to “extremists”. Exactly this is real democracy, when in a country there ought to be different ideological organizations. The unsociability of this clearly shows the tyrannical faces of Georgia’s Communist and Liberal political elites. That prosecution and terror, physical attacks, false criminal and administrational cases against members of the organization are carried out by the current “Democratic State”. We have already given a procurator’s official document, which has 400 pages, where all of these, with union of agreed claims, are undisputedly alleged.
As I know, you are from the United States of America. Despite the fact that National-Socialism is restricted by the Nurnberg tribunal, is there American National-Socialist party registered in the USA, which uses the Swastika as symbol? Everything else is political-ideological evaluation.
Now, let’s move on to the political-ideological evaluation. Those who call us hate inspirers and extremists, causing the destruction and decline of Georgia is on their conscience. The Georgian nation will evaluate who are the extremists, sellers and traitors of this country. I’d like to add some words about the spilling of poison by our opponents against us. As Adolf Hitler said: ‘poison spilled by the enemies of the nation seems our glory to me.’
Moving forward, what do you see as the “way ahead” for you and your group?
First of all, it is necessary for the Georgian nation to be imbued with fascism, with a nationalist spirit. As the only president of Georgia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, said: “Nationalism” has been turned into a buzzword by socialists, communists, cosmopolitans, degenerate national nihilists. Nationalism is condemned in the world by those amorphous, untraditional, denationalized conglomerates that have no history, no self-contained culture; who want to turn humanity into a homogeneous mass, driven only by beastly instincts and interest in material values.
It is extremely important and urgent for the security of the country to turn the civil defense organization based on national consciousness into a strong, accountable force. As Napoleon taught us, a country protected by an army is not invincible, but a country protected by a nation is. A clear example of this is the Ukrainian “Azov” and “Kraken” units. Unfortunately, we had intended to form such an organization a little earlier, which was prevented by my imprisonment for several years. Although, it is not too late and we have already started training.
As for the political side, “Georgian National Unity” will be officially and legally registered as a political force in the future, which will restore the legal national governance through elections, the democratic republic of 1918-1921 and the Georgian nation – God’s children, returning to the beginning of the white race, to the splendor and glory that is the historical and divine right of our nation.
