Khevsurians’ Appeal to the US President which Reached its Recipient only 70 Years Later
Request of the Representative of Khevsureti To the Government of the United States.
We, the Khevsurian people, are being extremely repressed by the Bolsheviks. They are restricting our religion, trying to establish collective farms, and imposing very high taxes. We Khevsurians will fight to our last drop of blood. We have no arms, but we can fight with our swords as well. We kindly ask your goverment to assist us, as you are a strong country. We will not count on your aid, but no one else can help us. Brothers! We are in a very terrible situation.
