In 1978, it had been a long time since Georgia lost its independence, and the Soviet Russia tried new methods in the conquered country to destroy everything that defined the nation’s identity. In 1978, it was the turn of the Georgian language. During the adoption
of the new constitution, the article that granted Georgian the status of the o cial language was removed. Constitutions had been updated before, but the status of the Georgian language, which was defined at the legislative level for the first time in 1921 by the
first constitution of the independent Republic of Georgia, never changed. Georgia immediately realized the danger, which was followed by an instant reaction. The stories presented in the book bring to life the protest held Tbilisi and Batumi in 1978 to protect
the status of the Georgian language.
