The Kutaisi Affair (also known as the "Kutaisi Case" or the "Sarra Modebadze Case") was a case of blood libel that took place in Kutaisi Governorate (Georgia, then part of the Russian Empire) from 1878 to 1880. Nine Georgian Jews from the village of Sachkhere were accused of kidnapping and murdering a Christian girl by the name of Sarra Modebadze. They were tried in March 1879 at the Kutaisi Circuit Court. The case attracted attention all over the Russian Empire and beyond as it revived the myth of Jews committing crimes for ritual purposes. All defendants were acquitted.[1]
