as a clerk for Pathé Records and then ran a small business producing matsoni. He died in Chatou suburb of Paris in 1970 and was buried at the Georgian cemetery of Leuville-sur-Orge. Kvinitadze's remains were reburied with full military honors to the Mtatsminda Pantheon in Tbilisi on 26 May 2021. A street in Tbilisi, where Georgia's Ministry of Defense is located, was named after Kvinitadze in 2006. Family In 1911, Kvinitadze married Princess Mariam Makashvili (August 28, 1889 – April 27, 1960). They had three daughters: Ida, Tamar and Nino. Ida (b. 1912) married (1943) Georgian émigré general Giorgi Chkheidze (1907–1970). Tamar (b. 1913) married (1938) the Georgian émigré Georges Odichelidze (1899–1970), French officer of World War II. Nino (b. 1920) married (1955) a Dutchman Peter Claude Holland d'Abo (b. 7 October 1917); they are the parents of the British-French actress and former Bond Girl, Maryam d'Abo. Memoirs Kvinitadze's Russian-language book My Memoirs from the Years of Independence of Georgia, 1917–1921 (Мои воспоминания в годы независимости Грузии, 1917–1921) first appeared in Paris in 1985 and was published in a Georgian translation in 1998. Writing most of the memoir in 1922, a year after Georgia's sovietization, Kvinitadze provides new details and personal observations about the troubled years of 1917–1921. In addition to being a military chronicle written by a participant of those events, Kvinitadze's memoirs are a political commentary, directing harsh criticism at the Mensheviks, accusing them of undermining the state and alienating the Georgian people with their socialist and internationalist rhetoric, incompetence and failure to defend the country against the anticipated foreign intervention. Along with Zurab Avalishvili’s historical works, Kvinitadze’s memoirs are considered one of the best firsthand accounts of Georgia’s short-lived independence written abroad.
