This meticulously researched 1955 monograph by Solomon Kubaneishvili stands as a fundamental historical and biographical study of David Guramishvili, the preeminent Georgian poet of the 18th century, specifically focusing on his years of military service. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the Georgian Hussar Regiment’s formation and its participation in European campaigns, including the arrangement of archival documents and tactical schemas that illustrate Guramishvili’s experiences during the Seven Years' War and his subsequent captivity. Kubaneishvili’s work serves as a vital primary source for understanding the "warrior-poet" archetype in Georgian culture, bridging the gap between Guramishvili’s harsh military reality and the melancholic, spiritual depth of his magnum opus, Davitiani. Published by the Academy of Sciences, this volume offers a rigorous reconstruction of the social and political environment of the Georgian diaspora in Russia.
