Democracy has triumphed in Georgia, the victorious soldiers assured people. If so, it will be the second victory in little more than a year for democracy in the former Soviet republic in the Caucasus. The first victory pushed the Communists from power in two sets of elections back before the Soviet Union died its unnatural death. The latest victory pushed elected President Zviad Gamsakhurdia from power in two weeks of gun battles on the streets of Tbilisi, the Georgian capital. The fighting brought several hundred rebel Georgian National Guardsmen and like-minded volunteers into the center of the city with their machine guns, howitzers, tanks and even a few rockets.
