| | Shevardnadze may be planning another war against the relatively prosperous region of Adjaria to remove Abashidze in the near future (perhaps with the aid of his new US helicopters). | | | After his recent world tour, during which Shevardnadze was toasted in Western capitals for having "brought down the Berlin Wall," he returned to Georgia to see the victory of his ruling Citizens' Union party in elections marked by violence, arrests, and intimidation of opposition figures, and by the usual irregularities at the ballot box. | | | When the USSR was being dismantled, Shevardnadze was faced with retiring from public life or returning to Georgia to seize power with the aid of Russian-backed forces. |

| | Eduard Shevardnadze lived many lives - as a KGB and Communist Party official, as Soviet foreign minister, but his final role - as president of his native Georgia - ended in ignominy. | | | He had led his country out of instability and civil war in the early 1990s, but his successes and popularity of the past turned sour. | | | Mr Shevardnadze joined the Communist Party in 1946 and rose through party ranks to become Georgia's Communist leader in 1972. |
