Alexander Nikuradse

Since their common days as Soviet exiles in Munich in the early 1920s, he had been on friendly terms with Alfred Rosenberg whose views on the Caucasus and Cossacks as Circassians were largely shaped under Nikuradse's influence.

Influenced by Karl Haushofer's theory of "large spaces", he conceived an ambitious project of the German protectorate over the projected Caucasian confederation (The Greater Circassia), including Volga, Ural, Siberian regions, Alaska and the US West in general in which the Georgians were to play the leading role.
