This thesis critically examines the evolution of Georgian national identity across key historical periods, notably 1917, the First Democratic Republic of Georgia, and the post-Soviet era. By analyzing official Georgian secondary school history textbooks, the study investigates shifts in the people, nation, and state paradigm within Georgia’s historical consciousness. Focused on state narrative transformation, the research highlights the complexities of Georgian nationalism, juxtaposing aspirations for Eurointegration with the legacies of the Soviet past. Structured around pivotal historical events such as the Bolshevik Revolution, the 1918 independence, Stalinism, and the post-Soviet transition, the thesis explores how different elements of the paradigm assume prominence. Ultimately, the paper seeks to capture a transitional phase in the development of modern Georgian consciousness, aiming to elucidate contemporary Georgia’s perception of its political identity and trajectory.
