This web site is recommended to scholars working in the humanitarian sciences, as well as to the general public interested in the history and culture of the Caucasus. It is dedicate to the fabulous Caucasian country, Georgia, the homeland of Prometeus and Medea. The Caucasus is the one of the most vivid and multiflorous, but actually unknown part of the world. At the same time, its key importance is quite obvious in many aspects of modern life. This region is located in the center of the Eastern Hemisphere, between Europe and Asia, from the West to the East and between Russia and the Near East, from the North to the South I am Georgian historian and archaeologist.

Tbilisi: Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, 29-30 June, 2013 При характеристике внешней политики России, часто употребляется клише, что она «непредсказуема». Это, на наш взгляд, неверно: Политика России вполне предсказуема, она всегда была нацелена на расширение своих «пределов» в сторону наименьшего сопротивления, поглощая все, что «плохо лежит», т.е. те страны, которые не имеют силу и волю к сопротивлению. На самом деле «непредсказуема» политика т.н. международого сообщества (в лице успешных «западных» стран), – очень трудно предопределить насколько и за какую цену готовы они иногда смириться с агрессивными помыслями кремлевских руководителей и уступить им в том или ином эпизоде политического противостояния (20 ноября, 2013). “Pro-Westerners” or “pro-Russians” = supporters of Georgia's existence or its integration with Russia (November 25, 2016). Non-implementation of Article 5 on the Occupied Territories with NATO perspective or the "Southossetization" of whole country?! (September 12, 2019) From a historian's point of view: reptiles, mammals, birds are somewhat reminiscent of Semites, Indo-Europeans and Caucasians ;) (October 14, 2019) There is the concept of “American Dream”. What should be the dream of Georgians from a Russian point of view?! (February 13, 2020). What is the greatest pleasure for a man?! - To be above all pleasures! (February 12, 2020).
