Archaeological research confirms the uninterrupted existence of the city of Kutaisi since 3400 years, and Greek mythology places in Colchis, a dangerous land inhabited by witches and dragons, the search for the Golden Fleece. Poland and Georgia have a common history, and in the 19th century, Poles were one of the most numerous national minorities in the Caucasus.

In HERITO you will find texts telling about how Georgians began to think about separating from Russia, on what foundations communism was installed in the country and what were the relations between the intelligentsia and the authorities. However, art history, literature and music come to the fore. The editors invited specialists in the development of national thought, connoisseurs of calligraphy, musicologists, historians, archaeologists and diplomats. Thanks to their diverse perspectives, it is easier to understand the soul of Georgia and get to know its cultural heritage.

This issue of HERITO is a must-read for anyone interested in the culture and history of Georgia.
