M. G. Tskhakaya (b. 1865 - d. 1950), a.k.a. Barsov, was a Georgian
communist. Barsov was a senior leader in the Bolshevik
movement in Georgia, having been active in revolutionary politics since 1880. When the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party was founded, he joined it. In 1907, after
a series of arrests and deportations, he went into exile in Switzerland. He returned to
Russia in 1917, alongside Lenin. From that point onwards, he was an influential leader of
the Georgian Communist Party.[1]
