THE HISTORY OF GEORGIA: DEPENDENCE AND INDEPENDENCE

What do we actually know about the history of Georgia?
“Well... uh... there was Queen Tamar, then maybe the USSR, then Saakashvili... something like that.”
Honestly, not too far from the truth.
But still — wouldn’t it be nice to at least have a general idea of how the country we’ve lived in for several years actually developed?

We’ll talk about:

The early years under the Russian Empire

The many Chavchavadzes and one Griboyedov

The appearance of the GDR (before it became mainstream)

The first steps of independent Georgia

The lecture will be given by Vitaly Kibitlevsky (@gid_poet) — a guide with 10 years of experience and author of numerous articles and lectures on Georgian history.
