Georgian weapons. Belyanin Andrey Olegovich

The new book of Andrei Belyanin is devoted to the most interesting, but completely unexpressed topic - the history of Georgian weapons of the late XVIII early XX century. It is well known that old Tiflis was at the crossroads of ancient ways and cultures. Undoubtedly, that is why he became the arms center of the entire Transcaucasia. Russian officers, linear Cossacks, plundered abstracts, harsh Hebs, hot Svans, and sometimes just beautiful Georgians proudly wore a Tiflis dagger! Dzadzamidze, Idris, Kvatashidze, Jikia, Asatiani, Gvilva... What do we know about the combat and weapons traditions of this people? About our neighbors, brothers by faith, heroism and military glory of people who, along with us, hoisted the flag of victory over the Reichstag!

And all this began for a very long time, listen, this is interesting.
