In order to really understand what Living in a New Era<\/i> is all about, it is worth taking a look at the past \u2013 and especially for us Germans, Georgia has some very interesting history.<\/p>\n

It was indeed Bavarian troops under Baron Friedrich Kress von Kressenstein who supported the Georgians in gaining their \u2013 albeit very short-lived \u2013 independence. Up to this day, many Georgians keep this memory of the Germans alive.<\/p>\n

Georgian\u2019s \u201cmost famous son\u201d is\u00a0Stalin <\/a>\u2013 and still the opinion of him in Georgia is not as unambiguous as one might expect, when you consider the suffering that his own native land had to endure under his rule.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s relationship to Russia and the Russian culture is downright complex, being influenced culturally and socially for almost 200 years until Georgia finally managed to win its independence in 1990.<\/p>\n

How a country the size of Bavaria with some five million residents, as an ex-Soviet republic initially left without any autonomous infrastructure and industry and against all odds and dramatic circumstances that it was forced to struggle against actually managed to spread its wings \u2013 it is a painful success story, which for us in the west is particularly moving.<\/p>\n
