Religion and Philosophy : Georgia

Since remote antiquity nestled between the Black and Caspian Seas on the majestic Caucasus mountain chain, the Republic of Georgia today continues its centuries old relations with its neighbors as it seeks to create new alliances. One of the 15 federated republics of the Soviet Union throughout most of the twentieth century, Georgia declared its independence in 1991. Its diverse population has since that event actively explored, created and used the new electronic environment both to foster their emerging democratic state and present themselves to the world community. The sites listed in each category of this selective portal page have been chosen for their utility in providing accurate narrative (either brief or extensive) information, as well as directories, extensive portal pages and other resources concerning all aspects of Georgian life and culture. Most originate within the confines of the Republic itself. All are either English language alone or bilingual, unless noted in an annotation which follows. Many sites offer down- loadable Georgian fonts to make them easily accessible. For a variety of reasons, the links to Georgia and the NIS countries in general often are inactive; we recommend that you try again, should you not be successful in connecting.
