Jaba Samushia, the rector of Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University and academician, attended the event dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Varlam Cherkezishvili. The event was held at a public school in Tokhliauri village in Sagarejo Municipality. The event was also attended by Avtandil Gulikashvili, mayor of Sagarejo Municipality; Aleksi Gilashvili, chairman of the Sagarejo Municipality local council (Sakrebulo); Vepkhia Cherkezishvili, first deputy chairman of the local council; Lela Panozishvili, head of the Sagarejo district educational resource center; TSU Professor Gocha Peradze and other representatives of the university.
The public school in Tokhliauri village has officially been named after Varlam Cherkezishvili, which will further strengthen public respect for and awareness of his legacy.
In his speech at the event, Rector Samushia emphasized Varlam Cherkezishvili’s contributions, noting that he was one of the most outstanding figures in the development of Georgian history and public thought in the 19th and 20th centuries: “Varlam Cherkezishvili was a person whose work went beyond the realm of politics or writing — he was a staunch advocate for national identity, democratic principles, and social justice. TSU always maintains respect for his legacy and considers him a symbol of education and free thought for new generations,” said Jaba Samushia.
As part of the event, invited guests had the opportunity to enjoy a cultural program performed by students from the Tokhliauri school.
