About
Historian Beka Kobakhidze leads a salon-style talk at the Academy of Thought (Azrovnebis Akademia) on how ideas about being Georgian took shape. He separates the ethnos, which goes back several millennia, from the nation, which took form in the 19th century. The evening asks why King Bagrat III was titled ruler of several peoples rather than simply of Georgia, and touches on the debate visible on Tbilisi streets in 2024 and 2025. Refreshments are served.
