    Extractions: Eight weeks in the former Soviet republic dramatizes important role played by legal aid As the plane began its descent into the Tbilisi airport, the young Georgian man sitting next to me, returning home after three months of study in London, looked out over the largely darkened city. “That’s Tbilisi,” he confirmed, “but you don’t see most of it because of the electrical blackouts. Can you believe it? In the 21st century? What kind of a country is it that can’t provide basic electricity to its citizens?” It was a question (“What kind of a country is it that can’t/won’t…?”) repeated many times during my eight-week stay in the Republic of Georgia and one that revealed a great deal about its turbulent recent past. Most Americans associate Georgia with the former Soviet Union, unaware that Georgia has its own language and own alphabet that date back to the 5th century. In 1991, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Georgia reclaimed its independence for the first time since the Bolshevik Revolution. But soon thereafter, it plunged into a bloody civil war. The fighting created difficult conditions that persist today. Georgia and other former Soviet republics are often referred to as “cosmetic democracies,” possessing the external trappings of a democracy but not truly functioning as one. One of the major roles played by legal aid organizations is to turn “cosmetic” democracies into real, sustainable ones.

    Extractions: Follow-on Programs: Republic of Georgia From April 24 – May 1, 1999 Project Harmony led a group of American professionals to the Republic of Georgia. The trip was part of the follow-on work Project Harmony is engaged in for the Community Connections Program. Our goal was to provide consultations and training sessions for the alumni of the Community Connections Program. The American delegation included professionals in the areas of business planning and strategizing, banking and agriculture. All American participants are from Vermont. Chris Barbieri Extension Program The amazing culture, natural beauty and fascinating language left a lasting impression for all the American participants. Before we traveled, we knew very little about Georgia. In fact, very few Americans know anything about Georgia and think it is part of Russia. Nothing could be further from the truth! Georgia is a fiercely proud, independent country with a history dating back thousands of years and a language with an alphabet that is one of the 16 original alphabets of the world. The "Golden Age" of Georgia was in the 11th and 12th centuries (before the Western European Renaissance), an era of great prosperity and flourishing arts. These are just a few of the interesting facts that we discovered on our trip to Georgia.

    Extractions: "Every Georgian dish is a poem."Alexander Pushkin "If you've got Georgia on your mind, then The Georgian Feast is required reading. This superbly written book is part ethnography, part geography, and part cookbook. Ms. Goldstein describes the rugged topography and turbulent history of this region that was once a crossroad of trade between Asia and Europe. These cultural influences, along with a healthy variety of food-producing environments, have led to a rich native cuisine."Anthony Dias Blue DESCRIPTION (back to top) According to Georgian legend, God took a supper break while creating the world. He became so involved with his meal that he inadvertently tripped over the high peaks of the Caucasus, spilling his food onto the land below. The land blessed by Heaven's table scraps was Georgia. Nestled in the Caucasus mountain range between the Black and Caspian seas, the Republic of Georgia is as beautiful as it is bountiful. The unique geography of the land, which includes both alpine and subtropical zones, has created an enviable culinary tradition. In

The Georgians meanwhile, from pensioners to the Energy Minister, devise ever more clever ways to get it free. Amidst hot tempers and high drama, Lewis balances his love for the Georgian people with the hardships his company creates for them, as they struggle to build a nation from the rubble of Soviet collapse.

    the official language of the former georgia Soviet Socialist republic, a great period started in the eighteenth century with a renaissance of georgian culture.  
    http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/profiles/profg01.htm
    
    Extractions: Georgian is spoken by approximately four million people, mainly in the Republic of Georgia where it is the official language. Approximately 98 percent of the population speak Georgian as their first language. A significant number of Georgian speakers also live in Iran (1,000 to 10,000) and Turkey (40,000). A small number of Georgian speakers live in the United States. Since Russian was the official language of the former Georgia Soviet Socialist Republic, a great number of Georgian speakers are also fluent in Russian. LINGUISTIC AFFILIATION Georgian is a member of South Caucasian (or Kartvelian) branch of the Caucasian language family which is spoken in the area between the Black and Caspian Seas. It is not demonstrably related to any other language family. There are other subdivisions of the Caucasian family, but the exact division and their membership is debated by researchers. The term "Georgian" is sometimes used as a cover term for all South Caucasian languages. Some scholars maintain that Basque, a language whose affiliation is often hotly debated, is related to Caucasian languages (Ruhlen 1987). Georgian is the most widely spoken Caucasian language. Georgian is made up of a number of dialects that fall into two major groups: Western and Eastern. Among the Western dialects are what some scholars call mountain dialects. The standard language is based on the Eastern dialects of Kartlian and Kaxetian (Vogt 1971). At least one scholar (Hewitt 1985) claims that standard Georgian is based only on the prestige Kartlian dialect of the capital city Tbilisi.

    Extractions: National parliamentary library of Georgia Electronic text Center main page GEORGIAN HISTORY GEORGIAN HISTORY - "...Where a Georgians comes to..." by Giorgi Gabeskiria Editor’s Note Author’s note General information on Georgia “…Hale in kin and relatives…” ... next The Autonomous Republic of Abkhazeti Abkhazeti is a historical part of Georgia and is situated in the Northwest of the country. The present-day picture of the regional borders look as follows: the northern borderline follows the top of the main Caucasian watershed range, the Black Sea makes its southern and South-West – and the Psou-river – its North-West borders, as for the eastern borderline – it follows the Svaneti-Abkhazeti range and the lower part of the Enguri-river. The territory of Abkhazeti covers 8,6 thousand sq.km. Its capital is the city of Sokhumi. Abkhazeti consists of 5 administrative regions: Gali, Gudauta, Ochamchiri, Sokhumi and the territory subordinated to the Gagra-town Council. Its seven main cities and towns are: Sokhumi, Gagra, Tkvarcheli, Akhali Atoni, Gali, Gudauta, Ochamchiri, and three minor towns: Bichvinta, Gantiadi, Gulripshi. According to the 1989 data, the population of Abkhazeti equaled 537 thousand people, and 121 thousand among them made the population of Sokhumi. The most part – 47% of the multinational population of Abkhazeti Autonomous Republic – were Georgians. The growth of the population there during the Soviet period (4%) – was twice as much as the general index for the entire republic of Georgia, and this was caused by the migration of people from various parts of the USSR.

    http://www.abkhazia.org/home_def.html
    
    Extractions: The Republic of Abkhazia covers 3,300 square miles between the eastern shores of the Black Sea and the crestline of the main Caucasus range; from the rivers Psou (in the North) and Ingur (In the south). To the north, Abkhazia is bordered by Russia and to the south by the Georgian provinces of Svanetia and Mingrelia. Around 74% of the territory is mountains or mountain approaches. The coastal valleys are humid and subtropical. At higher altitudes the weather ranges from moderately cold to such freezing temperatures that the snow never melts. The relatively small distance between seashore and mountains lends Abkhazia a strikingly contrasting landscape. The area was best known by non-Abkhazia for its prime resorts for vacationers from all over the Soviet Union, as well as well as for its major cash crops of tea, tobacco and citrus fruits. There are two cities: the capital Sukhum, with a population of more than 100,000, and Tkwarchal, an industrial center. There are three urban resorts; Gagra, Gudauta, and Ochamchira; two rural spas : Pitsunda, and Novy Afon; and 575 villages. The Abkhazian language belongs to the northwest Caucasian family spoken by only a few other people in the world: the Abazins (or Abaza), Adyghey, Kabardians and Circassians, all of whom live in the north Caucasus. Historically these people and other related groups in the North Caucasus maintained close ties until they were divided by Soviet colonial policy.
