The purpose of the article is to explore the paradigm of the relationship between a national minority and a state in which an authoritari an and totalitarian model of government is formed. This analysis is conducted by the author on the relationship between the state and anational elite. Research methods: realization of the specified purpose demands from the researcher use of historical-system, historical and biographical, comparative methods, the complex approach. Main results, brief conclusions: At the beginning of the 20th century, Georgia became a center not only for the emigrant and refugee masses of the Assyrians, but also for the national and political elite. The years of Georgian state-building coincided with an active stage in the implementation of the Assyrian national issue in the field of international law. The Soviet government radically changed the methodology for resolving the Assyrian national issue. Markers of a national statehood were replaced by the Soviet loyalty artificially. Elites who became the generator of solutions to the national issues were repressed and replaced by loyalists to the existing system. The issue of obtaining various formats of statehood had long been removed from the agenda. Practical significance: the results of the study can be used for further scientific research on the history of the Soviet totalitarianism and the history of the Assyrians in the USSR in the 1920s and 1930s. Scientific novelty: the research is formed on the basis of a wide range of historical sources. The author presents the material stored in the archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, the Central Historical Archive of the National Archives of Georgia, the State Archives of the Russian Federation, the Russian State Archives of Socio-Political History, the State Institution "National Archives of the Republic of Adygea". Article type: analytical. Keywords: Soviet totalitarianism, Assyrian national minority, Public policy, National elites.
