THE REVIVAL OF OLD TIFLIS. TWO SOURCES OF THE HISTORY OF THE CAPITAL

Two Russian-language works created in the first half of the 19th century: Stephen Kishmishev’s “Tfilisi of the 40s” and Alexander

Kishmishev’s “Personal Memories”, contain unique information about Tbilisi’s existence, history and its development. These records, independent of each other, were created during the reign of Crown Prince Mikhail Vorontsov, and their main part reflects the

events of 1845-1853.
