Annexation of Kakheti and Kartli to Russia by Tsar Paul I before coronation, 1801.

Georgian Kingdoms after 1801 and 1810

After the Russian annexation of Kartli-Kakheti in 1801 and neighbouring Imereti in 1810 the various branches of the Bagrationi Dynasty of Georgian kings endured in Georgia under Russian occupation. However, many members were forced to flee the country and live in exile after the Red Army took control of the short-lived Democratic Republic of Georgia in 1921 and installed the Georgian Communist Party. Since the Republic of Georgia regained independence in 1990 the former royals have been raising their profile and in 2008 the two rival strands of the dynasty were united in marriage.
