  • Tbilisi As a Center of Crosscultural Interactions (The 19Th– Early 20Thcenturies)
    Khazar Journal Of Humanities and Social Sciences Special Issue, 2018 ©Khazar University Press, 2018 DOI: 10.5782/kjhss.2018.233.252 Tbilisi as a Center of Crosscultural Interactions (The 19th– early 20thCenturies) Nino Chikovani Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia The city of Tbilisi – the capital of Georgia, during its long period of existence, has been an interesting place of meeting and interaction of different cultures. In this context, the present paper deals with one of the most interesting periods in the history of the city. From the beginning of the 19th century, when the establishment of the Russian imperial rule started in the Caucasus, Tbilisi became an official political center of the region; political and economic changes, occurring during the second half of the 19th century, significantly influenced ethnic and religious composition of Tbilisi, its cultural lifetime and mode of life in general. For centuries-long period, Tbilisi, like other big cities (how much big does not matter in this case), was not only the Georgian city in ethnic terms; but also, it represented a blend of different religious and ethnic groups. Not only in a distant past, but just a couple of decades ago, when the phenomenon of the so called ‘city yards’ (which are often called as ‘Italian yards’ and which have almost disappeared from the city landscape) still existed in Tbilisi, their residents spoke several languages fluently. Ethnically and religiously mixed families were not rare. Such type of cities, termed as Cosmo-policies by some researchers, has an ability to transform a visitor, at least temporarily, into a member of “in-group”, in our case – into Tbilisian.

  • VARLA 2018 Is the Jubilee Year of Felix Varlamishvili
    V A R L A 2018 is the jubilee year of Felix Varlamishvili –Varla, the France emigrated Georgian artist. He would be 115 years old. In the XX century, Felix Varlamishvili’s name was known only to a small group of people in Georgia. In recent years, there has been an active interest in his art… In Georgia, the artist’s works are kept at the National Museum and in private collections. The project – ‘’Varla – 115’’ makes it possible to publish the given album, to catalogue artist’s main works kept in Georgia and to spotlight the archival material. Chardin Art Gallery The full evaluation of any artist is possible only through the comprehensive research of the artist’s entire work. Felix Varlamishvili, an eminent Georgian artist working in immigration, became known for the wider society during the 80s of the last century. The personal exhibition, held at the Georgian Art Museum was followed by great feedback. Georgia discovered an artist with a clearly expressed individuality; he rose from the national ground and absorbed the achievements of world fine art; although away from Georgia, he could maintain a profound spiritual unity with his homeland even while being in France – so evident in the best of his works. A talented and industrious artist, with a promising future, was still very young, when he left his homeland. Today, it is hard to say what would happen had Felix Varlamishvili stayed in Georgia; would he evolve as an interesting artist and create his own world or would he mix with the masses and be limited to state orders? Maybe, he would be a victim to repressions for his extremely tender soul and naivety… However, such was the will of the prime mover – Felix Varlamishvili had to get familiar with the world’s achievements in art, to establish his own place among Paris artists in the conditions of harsh competitiom, to live the hard life of an immigrant, to suffer from nostalgia.

  • Cultural Tour in Georgia 6 Days / 5 Nights
    Cultural Tour in Georgia 6 days / 5 nights Day 1 Arrival in Tbilisi Accommodation in hotel Free time Few words about Tbilisi Even if you only have a short time in Georgia, you have to spend at least a half-day exploring Tbilisi’s Old Town. The architecture in the city’s historic district is a beautiful mixture of Georgian, Byzantine, Oriental and Neo-Classical European styles. It dates back more than 1,500 years and was founded by Vakhtang Gorgasali, King of Georgia (known as Iberia at the time) in the second half of the 5th-Century AD. The name derives from the Georgian word for warm, “T'pili.” Sliced by the River Mtkvari, which divides the city west and east, the lovely setting is ripe for exploring. Overnight in Tbilisi Day 2 Breakfast at the hotel Drive to Kakheti Region Visit Telavi - the main city and administrative center of Georgia's eastern province of Kakheti. Telavi and its surroundings are rich in historical, architectural and natural monuments. The first archaeological findings from Telavi date back to the Bronze Age. One of the earliest surviving accounts of Telavi is from the 2nd century AD, by Greek geographer Claudius Ptolemaeus, who mentions the name Teleda (a reference to Telavi). The reign of King Erekle II -is still called affectionately "Patara Kakhi" (Little Kakhetian), who was born and died in this city, was a special epoch in the history of Telavi. During this period (1744–1798) it grew into a strategic and cultural centre. Erakle II established there a theological seminary and founded a theatre.

According to the grounded opinion and conclusion the territory of modern Abkhazia from ethnic, political and cul- tural aspects has always been the Georgian Region, where the demograph- ic changes occurred only in the late medieval centuries. Th e authors talk about the hybrid war of the years of 1992-1993 pursued by Russia against Georgia and the overt aggression of the same Russia in 2008. Th e humanis- tic catastrophe, occupation of Abkhazia as the outcome of the above men- tioned war and the Geopolitical changes equally harmful for the Euro-At- lantic space are clearly shown in the book; Th e necessity of solving the permanent confl ict by means of peaceful methods with the support of the International Organizations is also given a strong emphasis.

Nature that will keeps you speechless, untouched northern slope of Caucasus Mountains, ancient fortresses and towers of south, breathtaking views of green valleys, hidden monasteries in the woods. Day 1 Few words about Tbilisi Even if you only have a short time in Georgia, you have to spend at least a half-day exploring Tbilisi’s Old Town. The architecture in the city’s historic district is a beautiful mixture of Georgian, Byzantine, Oriental and Neo-Classical European styles. It dates back more than 1,500 years and was founded by Vakhtang Gorgasali, King of Georgia (known as Iberia at the time) in the second half of the 5th-Century AD. The name derives from the Georgian word for warm, “T'pili.” Sliced by the River Mtkvari, which divides the city west and east, the lovely setting is ripe for exploring. Arrival in Tbilisi.
