Giorgi Tsaava

Giorgi Saakadze (Georgian: გიორგი სააკაძე; c. 1570 – October 3, 1629) was a Georgian politician and military commander who played an important role in the politics of the early 17th-century Georgia. He is credited with playing off the rival Ottoman and Persian empires against each other to help the fractured Georgian nation survive. Saakadze was a controversial figure and his risky schemes ultimately caught up with him with tragic personal consequences - his son was executed by the Persians and later he himself was put to death by the Turks.
Saakadze's life is depicted by the eponymous film, which the Soviet authorities used for winning over Georgian nationalist sentiments during World War II, with Joseph Stalin personally involved in scripting it. On the opposite side, Nazi Germany named Wehrmacht 797th Battalion, one of the Georgian battalions, in Saakdze's honor.
