Samples, from my notes:
“The settlements, unsatisfactory though they were, of the conflicts in South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Adjara left outstanding the minor but intractable problem of Krassnia. The Saakashvili government has, like its predecessors, turned a blind eye to the tiny region's anomalous status, no doubt in the hope that the problem will, over time, resolve itself.”
That was the one and only reference to Krassnia in Georgia after Communism: A Brief History , Morgan Chancellor, London, 2005.
“Scuffling and yelling by a small group of Krassnians on the fringe of the crowd failed to disrupt the demonstration. Later investigation revealed, to no one's surprise, the FSB's hand in the affair.” The Rose Revolution: A Case Study in Democratic Transformation , Anne Fassbinder, Washington, 2007.
“The role of other minor nationalities in the deportation was, if anything, worse than that of the Ossetes, that of the Krassnians being particularly infamous.” The Soviet Southern Flank , William T. McCulloch, Boston, 1978.
“The Krassnian nationality question was also, as is known, harmoniously resolved in accord with the decisions of the Twentieth Congress.” A History of Soviet Georgia , I. M. Shishkin, Moscow, 1982.
“At this crucial moment the Krassnians, as so often in the past, played a treacherous and despicable role in the nation's life.” Georgia Under Soviet Rule , Y. A. Yakobashvili, Toronto, 1938.
“The undeniable instances of striking, if overstated, economic and social transformation (charitably leaving aside such unavoidable disasters as the Krassnian plastics industry) add some weight to the positive side of the balance.” Economic Development in the Caucasus, 1922—1969 , George C. Bullen, London, 1972.
Every relevant book I'd looked at had the same pattern: a passing reference to Krassnia or the Krassnians as if everything about the place and people went without saying.
Online: not much better. Even the Wikipedia entry for Krassnia was a stub.
I'd now reached the point where I'd pull books about Russia or the Soviet Union off the shelves almost at random, with the same frustrating result:
“The lesson he had drawn from his painful experience in Krassnia once more stood him in good stead.” Koba in the Observatory: New Light on Stalin's Early Years , David Isaacson, Tel Aviv, 1998.
“The infamous ‘Krassnian clique' was, as the Soviet Foreign Policy Archives now reveal, active behind the scenes in sowing distrust of Khrushchev before the XXII Congress convened.” Khrushchev: A New Biography , Alan Harrington, New Jersey, 2003.
“Beria's oversight of the project was relentless: the records show flying visits to sites as far apart as Krasnoyarsk and Krassnia. The problems at the latter have, of course, often been recounted. For Krasnoyarsk, however, the story has hitherto been more patchy, and is well worth detailed examination.” Beria and the Bomb: The Secret History of State Committee on Problem Number One , A. I. Mintz, St. Petersburg, 1995.
Beria—I recalled the first time I'd heard that name, from my Nana, and wondered if this infuriatingly vague mention referred to the incident she'd told me about.
“By 1990, the reports of national disturbances (Armenia, the Baltics, Georgia—with its inevitable Krassnian complication—and Turkmenistan) should have warned Gorbachev of the dangers, but unaccountably he continued the fatal policy.” Perestroika: Rise and Fall , Andreas Schmidt, Berlin, 1992.
“Transdnestria has served as an entrepot for contraband and peoplesmuggling, and a haven for the Russian Mafiya , following the well-known pattern pioneered in Krassnia.” Criminal Capitals , Ian Johnson, London, 2003.
“The young Lord Montford's travels in 1899 took him to the Caucasus, where he encountered a pioneer party of prospectors. In an excited letter from Krasnod, administrative capital of Krassnia on the Georgian border, he told the Board of
