Abstract
The report analyzes the bipolar tropology of Russia and the Caucasus
in the Georgian literature of the XIX century, taking into account
the historical reality and a comparative analysis of the literature.
An attempt is made to explain what kind of changes in Georgian literature
were caused by the loss of Georgian statehood in the early
19th century and the processes before which Georgia somehow closed
its doors to the East under Georgievsky’s treatise and became a
member of a new geopolitical area; An attempt is made to explain
how Georgian public opinion (the struggle of fathers and sons) was
divided over Russia’s entry and establishment in the Caucasus; What
was the result of Georgia’s voluntary or involuntary surrender of the
history of its statehood in favor of universal Christian history? How it
was reflected in Georgian literature that “Russian Orthodox Messianism”
had nothing to do with Georgian Christianity and, moreover,
with the Georgian national spirit.

with the Georgian national spirit.
The Georgian literature of the XIX century thoroughly reflected
the ongoing cultural-civilizational processes at the crpossroads of
epochs, the negative evaluation of the Georgian-Caucasian civilization
by Russia and, consequently, the existing historical geopolitical
reality. The literature reflected the crisis of the Georgian society due
to the uncertainty in front of the civilized choice. I think that the invincibility
of this civilizational crisis (and, especially, the assassination
of Ilia) led to the short-lived independence of Georgia in the early
20th century and a new spiritual crisis with a civilizational crisis. The
report describes the XIX century as an era of geopolitical changes
and ways to reflect these changes and crises in Georgian fiction.
