Eleonora Ter-Parsegova, who was a member of Socialist-Democratic Party of Georgia since 1902, was first arrested in 1908. The reason of arrest was her joining, after the manifestation on 17 October 1905, that group which took the reigns of administration in Sokhumi for several weeks in 1906, thereby replacing the bodies of the Tsarist government.
