GEORGIANS IN EUROPE: RETROSPECTION OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Every nation, besides the basic human values, always has its own national specific characteristics which are summarized in ethno psychological archetype. The history of Georgia knows different facts of voyages of Georgian diplomats, writers, educators to Europe starting since XVIth century. This process even more intensified in the XIXth century. But those were not yet examples of integration of Georgian people in Europe. Those persons were just "ambassadors" of their country, who were coming back to Georgia with a huge amount of knowledge which was so valuable for their motherland's progress. Historical, political and social circumstances of the XXth century created several main points when Georgian arrived to Europe : force establishing of Soviet Regime in 1921 in Georgia, post period of the Second World War, the collapse of Soviet Union in early 90s, war conflicts in Abkhazia and so-called South Osetia in 1992 and 2008. Each of those social groups could differently integrate in European community having specific and very concrete reasons, motivations, ways of communication and self-realization.
