You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Akaki Mgeladze''' (((lang-ka|აკაკი მგელაძე)); ((lang-ru|Ака́кий Ива́нович Мгела́дзе)); 1910–1980) was a [[Soviet people|Soviet]] politician. He served as [[First Secretary of the Georgian Communist Party]] from 1952 to 1953, and before that was First Secretary of the [[Communist Party of Abkhazia]] from 1943 until 1951, as well as previously leading both the Georgian and Abkhazian [[Komsomol]] and [[Gruzneft]].

==Life and career==
===Pre-WW2===

Born in the [[Guria]] region of [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], Mgeladze had grown up in [[Abkhazia]] and was serving with the military on the [[Transcaucasus Front]] when he was appointed head of the Communist Party of Abkhazia by [[Joseph Stalin]]. Under Mgeladze, [[Georgian language|Georgian]] was made the language of instruction in Abkhazia, replacing [[Abkhaz language|Abkhaz]] and [[Russian language|Russian]] at the start of the 1945–46 academic year.

===Friendship with Stalin===
After the Second World War, Mgeladze became a confidant of Stalin, who nicknamed him “Comrade Wolf”.<ref>((cite book|title=[[Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar]]|author=Simon Sebag Montefiore|author-link=Simon Sebag Montefiore|date=July 10, 2003|publisher=[[Vintage Books]]|ISBN=1400076781|page=616))</ref> He made a declaration that Abkhazia would produce lemons for the entirety of the Soviet Union after Stalin repeatedly showed him lemon trees.<ref>((cite book|title=Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar|author=Simon Sebag Montefiore|date=July 10, 2003|publisher=Vintage Books|ISBN=1400076781|page=525))</ref> Using his influence with Stalin, Mgeladze manoeuvred against head of the [[Ministry of State Security (Soviet Union)|Ministry of State Security]] [[Lavrentiy Beria]], denouncing his corruption and that of Stalin’s other confidant [[Kandid Charkviani]], who was an ally of Beria.<ref>((cite book|title=Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar|author=Simon Sebag Montefiore|date=July 10, 2003|publisher=Vintage Books|ISBN=1400076781|page=624))</ref> Mgeladze succeeded in convincing Stalin to turn against Charkviani and strengthened his distrust of Beria.<ref>((cite book|title=Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar|author=Simon Sebag Montefiore|date=July 10, 2003|publisher=Vintage Books|ISBN=1400076781|page=631))</ref> In March 1952 Mgeladze was appointed First Secretary of the Georgian Communist Party by Beria, replacing Charkviani.<ref>((cite book|title=Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar|author=Simon Sebag Montefiore|date=July 10, 2003|publisher=Vintage Books|ISBN=1400076781|page=633))</ref>

==Resignation and later life==
He held his position until he was forced out by Beria in April 1953, after Stalin's death. Forced to admit that he took bribes while head of the Communist Party of Abkhazia, Mgeladze was only able to remain a Party member because his successor in Georgia, [[Aleksandre Mirtskhulava]], refused to expel him. After that he served as the chairman of the [[Bibnisi]] collective farm, located in the [[Kareli Municipality]].

Mgeladze wrote a memoir, ''Сталин Каким я его знал: Страницы недавнего прошлого'' (''Stalin As I Knew Him: Pages of the Recent Past''), and died in 1980. For his efforts Mgeladze was awarded two [[Order of Lenin|Orders of Lenin]], as well as the [[Order of the Red Banner of Labour]], [[Order of the Red Star]], [[Order of the Patriotic War]], two [[Order of the Badge of Honour|Orders of the Badge of Honour]], and others.
