The Educational Way of George Zdanovich in Kutaisi Classical Gymnasium in St. Petersburg

Abstract

The archival materials describe in a detail way the period of Giorgi (Maiashvili) Zdanovich's study at the Kutaisi Classical Gymnasium and his student years in St. Petersburg. Giorgi (Maiashvili) Zdanovich has been involved in revolutionary activities since his student years. In 1874 he became a full member of the Russian Social-Revolutionary Organization and was nicknamed "Rizha". Giorgi never ran away from problems, he took on a very responsible work, particularly: he was forced to import secret literature from abroad, for which reason in 1875 a twenty-year-old young man was arrested. He was convicted of so-called process of 50. The court verdict of Giorgi (Maiashvili) Zdanovich was severe. Despite the convict's difficult detention period, he did not stop striving for the goal. Giorgi's first steps in journalism start with the manuscript newspaper.
