It finds itself at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia; it is bordered by the Black Sea, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Russia. The capital city of Georgia is Tbilisi. It has a population of around 3.72 million and covers a total area of 70,000 kilometres square approximately. The Georgian government is unitary and semi-presidential in nature and is elected by democratic means. History The classical era saw many independent kingdoms come together and form what we know today as Georgia. Colchis and Iberian kingdoms are recorded to have adopted the Christian faith during the 4th Century CE. Georgia reached the zenith of its eco-political strength under the rule of King David IV in the late 12th and early 13th century. The kingdom then saw steady decline and was dominated by several larger kingdoms like the Ottoman and the Mongols. The Russian empire annexed the entire Georgia by 1810. It experienced a short period of independence in 1918, with the fall of the Russian empire but was invaded again in 1921 by Soviet Russia and became the Georgia Soviet Socialist Republic. It regained its independence in 1991, after the fall of Soviet Russia, but had significant interior strife and economic problems throughout the decade. It is only after the Rose Revolution of 2003 that Georgia followed pro-Western interests and supported the NATO and European Integration. This change in policy led to another Russo-Georgian War in 2008. The country is a member of the UN, and the Council of Europe. 01 About The University The Tbilisi State University was established in the year 1918 by reputed historian of Georgia, Ivane Javakhishvili. It is one of the earliest universities in the Caucasus region. Georgian medical education was also founded with the opening of the Faculty of medicine in the Tbilisi State University. However, in the year 1930, the faculty of medicine separated itself and became the Tbilisi State Medical Institute. It re-affiliated itself with the university in 1995 and now works as an autonomous structural unit. TSU is one of the main universities that bear the flag of higher education in Georgia. The university has maintained itself in many disciplines and has been leading the country towards its arrival into the higher education scene in Europe. The university boasts of over 20,000 students and 7 faculty departments. It has also has around 1500 members of staff. It also has eight campuses, 14 research and educational centres, over 100 laboratories, libraries, affiliated hospitals, etc. In the May of 2005, the country also joined the Bologna process. The university has global ambitions and wishes to impart world class education to students all over the world. New academic courses, scholarly faculty, and a prime location like Tbilisi really make it a wonderful destination for higher studies. It was also honourably placed amongst the top 1000 world universities by the University Ranking by Academic Performance. 02 Message from the Dean We, at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, strive for excellence and progressive leaps in education.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Hundreds of settlements, agricultural lands, roads, oil and gas pipelines’ routes, towers of high voltage transmission lines, hydro-technical-meliorative objects, mountain resorts, etc. are period- ically experiencing strong influence of landslide-gravitational and debris flow/mudflow processes (often with catastrophic results). Almost all landscape-geographic zones—from Black Sea coastal region, to mountainous-nival, where geo-ecological situation is severely complicated, are located in dangerous area of disaster. Negative social-economic, demographic and ecological consequences caused by debris flow/mudflows and landslide-gravitational processes, are seen in all spheres of human activity. In mountainous regions there is especially complicated situation, where in condi- tions of extreme activation of disaster, in many cases population displacement and transfer to other regions is needed. Because of it, in second half of 20th century, tens of villages in mountain- ous regions were desolated and agricultural lands were abandoned.

Still very young, he was forced to leave Georgia (to avoid the Bolshevik regime) and found refuge in Europe. While abroad, Grigol Peradze began an active scientific research, he searched everywhere and collected Georgian manuscripts a nd studied them. After a divine vision, he gave up secular life and became a monk. Unfortunately, the totalitarian regime did not allow him to live in peace even in Europe. When Nazi Germany occupied Poland, he was there. Grigol Peradze as a foreigner coul d leave the country, but he did not. He did not cooperate with the Nazis and tried to protect Jews from Nazi repressions. Therefore, he was soon confined in a concentration camp and ended his life in a gas chamber. According to the statement, St. Grigol Pe radze entered the cell instead of one Jew who had many children in order to save human life and not to bow to evil. In 2019 the Georgian society celebrated the 120th anniversary of this great Georgian figure.

Landscapes, settlements and traditional housing in Samtskhe-Javakheti, Georgia. Quaestiones Geographicae 40(1), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 85–95. 5 figs, 2 tables. ABSTRACT: A change in livelihood and folk architecture is an indicator of cultural landscape transformation, which is often the result of changes occurring in the natural and socio-political realms. The diversity of architectural types of buildings as an element of landscape diversity distinguishes our research region. The presented study deals with a long-term change of housing and architectural types of settlements. Our goal was to identify, geolocalise, and classify the vernacular architecture of Samtskhe-Javakheti within the different types of natural landscapes. For this purpose, we used the HGIS (Historical Geoinformation System) approach, which comprises the application of both historic sources and GIS technologies. We identified seven types of buildings in the study area, the characteristics of which depended on the natural landscape features. The following factors had been determining the geography of the con- struction: geology, seismicity, terrain, climate, access to building materials and defence. Dominant architectural types of buildings in the study region were as follows: fortress Rabat with stone houses, stone houses, semi-underground houses mixed with stone houses, semi-underground houses, terraced semi-underground houses, cave dwellings and wooden log houses.

  • Profile of Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University
    Profile of Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Founded in the beginning of the 20th century, Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) is the first Georgian University and the first higher education institution in the South Caucasus. Historically, TSU has had a mission to support the development of a democratic society and foster affable relations with the international community via its students’ outputs and through international educational, scientific cooperation. First opened in 1918 TSU bears the name of its founder Professor Ivane Javakhishvili who gathered Georgian scholars educated in Europe to establish a national university. Being a renowned historian with a Western education himself, Javakhishvili contributed greatly to making “The Georgian University in Tiflis” as it was then called, a classical European institution of higher education. Today, the university’s main directions, principles, values and reforms are carried out dynamically in a systematic, coordinated manner and have placed TSU on a development path leading towards a common European Higher Education Area. As a forward-looking university, TSU realizes that it faces new demands and strives to meet the challenges of the century, and to prepare its students for further professional activities. TSU is the largest university in Georgia with over 22.000 students and 7 enlarged faculties: 1. Faculty of Humanities; 2. Faculty of Economics and Business; 3. Faculty of Law; 4. Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences; 5. Faculty of Social and Political Sciences;

  • Zaal Andronikashvili the Glory of Feebleness the Martyrological
    Zaal Andronikashvili The Glory of Feebleness The Martyrological Paradigm in Georgian Political Theology For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. (Matthew 6:13) Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. (1 Chronicles 29:11) A monument to Saint Georgia was erected on Freedom Square in Tbilisi on 23 November 2006. The unveiling of this monument on Tbilisi’s central square, which differing times bore the names Paskevich-Yerevanskij1 and Lenin Square, among others, was a symbolic step. In modern political mythology Saint George, who replaced Paskevich and Lenin (the Russian and Soviet imperial representatives), is not only Georgia’s guardian saint but an allegory of Georgia who, in this mythological narrative, fights against the dragon personifying the imperial legacy and the enemy of freedom. How- ever, the symbolism of the monument does not celebrate a victory over evil, but makes a promise of a future victory. In the fight against evil he brings an eschatological idea to modern political contexts and vice versa (he proj- ects modern political contexts onto eschatology). In spite of the secular in- terpretation, Saint George’s monument represents a variation on the basic paradigm of Georgian political theology. In my article I shall speak on this very paradigm. Georgian historiography has recently become interested in political theology.2 The comparative political theology of eastern Christendom is al- most unresearched.3 For this reason I am unable in the present article to dis- cuss this issue exhaustively.

  • Religious Nationalism As an Explanation for the Destruction and Appropriation of Armenian Ecclesiastical Cultural Heritage Sites Within the Republic of Georgia
    Title Page Religious Nationalism as an Explanation for the Destruction and Appropriation of Armenian Ecclesiastical Cultural Heritage Sites within the Republic of Georgia John Guidon Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts Supervisor: Professor András László Pap Budapest, Hungary 2019 CEU eTD Collection 1 Abstract In the years immediately following its independence from the Soviet Union, Georgia constructed one of the largest religious buildings in the world, the Sameba Cathedral. However, the cathedral was not constructed on an unassuming, vacant patch of land in the capital of Tbilisi, but on the site of a 17th century Armenian cemetery. Similarly, in 2017, the crumbling Tandoyants Armenian Church in Tbilisi was gifted to the Georgian Orthodox Church with plans to raze the church and build a Georgian Orthodox Church in its place. These are just several of the most recent and well known cases of erasure of Armenian church history in Georgia. Approximately eighty Armenian churches in Georgia were destroyed during Georgia’s time as a member of the Soviet Union, but after freedom was attained in 1991 the policy towards these Armenian churches shifted to a new direction: appropriation. This appropriation and destruction of Armenian cultural heritage sites in Georgia is the direct result of a uniquely religious form of nationalism that exists in Georgia, and it has allowed for the creation the environment in which this cultural destruction has occurred.
