Markers of the National Identity and Fiction (1991 Independence of Georgia: Process and Results)

Abstract

Georgian literature of the 1980s was filled with new topics. If until that time, the main subject of the literary text had been limited to issues recognized by the Soviet ideology as mandatory, then since the 1980s, the subject has been replaced and historical-patriotic and religious issues, markers of the national identity have become urgent.

The independence of Georgia, officially announced on April 9, 1991, was preceded by both global and local events. Acquiring independence, collapse of the Soviet system and existence of an independent country was a political, economic, social and cultural process.
