Abstract

The process of De-Stalinization that started in the USSR in the second half of the 1950s smashed the myth of invincibility and innocence of the Soviet Communist Party – the leading force of the Soviet State. The political situation had an impact on the literary activities. The bloody event of April 9th of 1989 sped up the collapse of the Communist Regime in Georgia and the country restored the lost independence. In the period of the collapse of the Soviet power and the change of the government (1989- 1990) the youth literary journalism easily managed to be liberated from the Communist heritage.
