Tetri Giorgi

Tetri Giorgi

Tetri Giorgi (“White George”) is one of the names of Saint George, in the eastern mountainous part of Georgia. Many ethnographers claim the name to be a successor of a pagan moon deity and popular mythological warrior Giorgi later identified with St George, patron saint of Georgia.

Tetri Giorgi was the central image on the coat of arms of Georgia in 1918-1921, 1990-2004 and since 2004.

Tetri Giorgi was also a name of a nationalist political organization formed by Georgian émigrés in 1924. Founders and main leaders of "Tetri Giorgi" were Mikheil Tsereteli, Leo Kereselidze, Shalva Maglakelidze, Alexander Manvelishvili, Grigol Robakidze, Viktor Nozadze, Kalistrate Salia and other famous representatives of the Georgian political emigration. Liberation of Georgia from the Soviet occupation was a main goal of the organization. During World War II the organization collaborated with the Wehrmacht. In 1926 the 1st underground group of this organization was founded in Tbilisi. In August 1937, the KGB arrested the leader of this group Evgen Gvaladze (1900-1937) and all other members.
