PrinceIlia Chavchavadze (Georgian:ილია ჭავჭავაძე; 8 November 1837 — 12 September 1907) was a Georgian writer, political figure, poet, and publisher who spearheaded the revival of the Georgian national movement in the second half of the 19th century, during the Russian rule of Georgia. He is Georgia's "most universally revered hero."
Inspired by the contemporary liberal movements in Europe, as a writer and a public figure, Chavchavadze directed much of his efforts toward awakening national ideals in Georgians and to the creation of a stable society in his homeland. His most important literary works were: The Hermit, The Ghost, Otaraant Widow, Kako The Robber, Happy Nation, Latters of a Traveller and Is a man a human?!. He was editor-in-chief of the periodicals Sakartvelos Moambe (1863–77) and Iveria (1877–1905), and authored numerous articles for journals. He was a devoted protector of the Georgian language and culture from Russification. He is considered the main contributor of Georgian cultural nationalism. The three main ethnic markers of Georgian identity, according to Chavchavadze, consisted of territory, language, and Christianity. Despite this, his nationalism was secular.

Explained: Who Was Ilia Chavchavadze
Ilia Chavchavadze's name is everywhere in Georgia, but many foreigners don't know who exactly he is. Ilia Chavchavadze is much more than a revered poet, author, and academic: he is the father of the modern Georgian nation.

Ilia Chavchavadze is Georgia's most universally revered hero and is regarded as the 'Father of the Nation.' Chavchavadze was a Georgian prince, public figure, journalist, publisher, writer and poet. In 1987 he was canonized as Saint Ilia the Righteous. Chavchavadze also published five of the young Stalin's poems in his magazine "Iveria". I was happy to find a recent translation of his short story "On the Gallows" (სარჩობელაზედ). In this video, I look briefly at Ilia Chavchavadze, his connection to Stalin and the short story "On the Gallows".

One of the Ilia’s most significant undertakings, achieved together with other progressive representatives of his rank, was the establishment of the National Bank. Ilia was the head of this bank for some time, and even spent several months in St. Petersburg studying banking.
His stories, novels, poems, as well as his journalistic writings are still alive.
