 The Georgian émigrés' hopes that the Great Powers intended to help had begun to vanish.A heavy loss was sustained by the Georgian émigrés when Karlo Chkheidze committed suicide in 1926 and Noe Ramishvili, the most energetic Georgian émigré politician and president of the first government of Democratic Republic of Georgia, was assassinated by a Bolshevik spy in 1930.The Soviet intelligence managed to heavily infiltrate the exiled government structures, largely due to Lavrentiy Beria's personal intelligence network, both before and after the Second World War.
