Exhibition "Repressions in Georgia"

The exhibition “Repressions in Georgia” was opened in the National Archives of Georgia on October 24th, which was attended by grade 10 MYP students from the European School and a teacher of Georgian Language and Literature Ia Ghadua. The students saw Titsian Tabidze’s last photo; GalaktionTabidze’s unknown poem, which he dedicated to a repressed friend (this autograph had been kept secret for a decade by the members of the family); Sandro Akhmeteli’s  score, a marble statue by Vakhtang Kotetishvili; Svimon Mchedlidze’s own icon of Virgin Mary with bullet holes, a doll made of brooms by Liziko Kavtaradze for women prisoners and other unique documents and items that were specially provided for the exhibition at the National Archive by the descendants of the repressed. Accordingly, it will be impossible to see them all together next time.

Ketevan  Asatiani, Head of the Scientific Department of the National Archives, thanked the students for expressing such interest.
