Anna Sologashvili

Anna "Ola" Sologashvili (Georgian: ანნა [ოლა] სოლოღაშვილი; 1882 – 1937) was a Georgian politician of the Social Democratic Party and member of the Constituent Assembly of Georgia from 1919 to 1921. After the Soviet takeover of Georgia in 1921, she was part of an opposition underground and later worked as a teacher. She was tried for treason and executed in 1937.

Anna Sologashvili was born into a

Tiflis. In 1919, Sologashvili was elected to the Constituent Assembly of a newly independent Georgia on a Social Democratic Party ticket. She thus became one of the five women in the first democratically elected 130-member Georgian legislature. In the Assembly, she was a member of the commissions for libraries, pensions, and elections and cosponsored several bills.^[1]^[2]

After the Georgian republic fell to the Bolshevik invasion in 1921, Sologashvili became involved in underground political opposition to the new regime. She was member of the Women's Committee of the Social Democratic Party of Georgia, which provided aid to political prisoners and their families. In 1922, the Committee was transformed into a multi-party underground organization, the Georgian Political Red Cross. After the futile

Stalinist Great Purge in 1937, Sologashvili was arrested and hastily tried by the NKVD troika for "anti-Soviet propaganda", "chauvinism", and ties with the emigre politician Noe Ramishvili. She was executed by firing squad the same year.^[1]
