About Nikolai Chkheidze
Very little is documented about Nikolai Chkheidze as an actor. Historical records primarily identify Nikolai Chkheidze (1864-1926) as a prominent Georgian Menshevik politician who served as chairman of the Petrograd Soviet during the Russian Revolution. The connection to a 1918 film appearance remains unclear, as this individual was primarily known for his political career rather than acting. If he did appear in 'Anniversary of the Revolution' (1918), it would likely have been in a documentary or propaganda capacity rather than as a professional actor. The politician was eventually exiled by the Bolsheviks and died in France, making a subsequent acting career impossible. The limited filmography suggests either a very brief appearance in a single film or possibly a database error confusing the politician with someone else of the same name.

Why They Matter
Impact on Culture
As a political figure, Nikolai Chkheidze had significant impact on Russian and Georgian politics during the revolutionary period. His role as chairman of the Petrograd Soviet placed him at the center of historical events. However, any cultural impact through cinema is undocumented and highly questionable given his primary identity as a politician.
Lasting Legacy
Nikolai Chkheidze's legacy is primarily political as a leader of the Menshevik movement and opponent of Bolshevik rule. Any legacy in cinema appears to be either non-existent or based on questionable attributions. Historical records recognize him as a significant political figure of the revolutionary era, not as an actor or filmmaker.
Who They Inspired
His influence was primarily in the political sphere, particularly in Georgian social democracy and the broader Russian revolutionary movement. There is no documented evidence of influence on cinema or other actors/directors.
