Influence of Allegorical Literature on Political Processes in the Post-Soviet Georgia

Abstract

In the harsh conditions of the totalitarian regime of the Soviet Union Georgian writers made use of allegorical form of expression.

However, when the Soviet Union was disintegrated and the country, like other republics decaled its independence, the literature tried to transform the acute political processes into certain schemes (biblical and mythological). Thus, it assumed prophetic function and also determined readers’ political expectations.

To present the full picture there is a need for a general analysis of Georgian prose of the last decades of the last century.
