[3] "Dideba" was written and composed by Kote Potskhverashvili [ka] and was adopted by the "Menshevik"-led Georgian government as the country's national anthem in 1918 after it became free from Russian rule.

However, "Dideba" was only be used for a few years, until Georgia came under Soviet rule from 1922 onward.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, "Dideba" was readopted as the Georgian national anthem, though at the time of its re-adoption it was barely known by most Georgians[2] as it had been almost seven decades since it was last used as the country's national anthem.
