This article explores representations of the Russian empire in the Caucasus in the nineteenth century. It focuses on the monument of Viceroy Mikhail Vorontsov, which was unveiled in Tiflis in 1867. Questions of imperial aesthetics, symbolic meaning, urban space, and mental maps among the Russian elites are discussed, as are contemporary interpretations of Russo-Georgian relations. It will be shown that the Russian empire did not have a master plan for the representation and the popularization of imperial power in its borderlands and that much was left to local and private initiative
