This document summarizes the literary and political climate in Georgia during the 1970s and 1980s. It discusses how poets and writers increasingly incorporated religious and political themes that challenged Soviet ideology. The KGB closely monitored and censored the literary group known as the "College of Translators," suppressing alternative voices. As censorship eased in the late 1980s, previously banned works were finally published after years of obstruction. Overall, the summary describes the transition from strict Soviet control over art and literature to greater freedom of expression.
