Artistic Reception of Soviet Repressions in the Émigré Publication „The Homeland“ – „La Patria“ (1951-1953)

Abstract

“The Homeland” – “La Patria” – a Georgian émigré periodical based in Buenos Aires was published under the editorship of Viktor Nozadze. The magazine clearly demonstrates the spirit of Georgian émigrés in the first half of the 20^th century and their dedication to serving their homeland.  The works published under the pseudonym of Mikhako Tbiliseli depict the Bolshevik terror of the 1920s and 1930s, exposing their ruthless and brutal nature. His memoirs vividly reconstruct the grim reality of Cheka dungeons and the tragic fate of those sent into exile – sometimes using their real names to enhance the authenticity of these events.
