Gantiadi (magazine)

Gantiadi (Georgian: განთიადი, Russian: рассвет, The Dawn) is a monthly literary magazine published in Georgia.

It was founded in 1975 at a time when the Soviet Union was trying to promote Russian and discourage use of other languages, so at first disguised itself as an "almanac".

Gantiadi may be seen as a revival of the magazine of the same name published in Tsarist Georgia, founded by students of the Kutaisi Gymnasium in 1887, with the aim of supporting national liberation ideas.

A newspaper, magazine, or even a single printed page could only be published with the approval of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Under Cheishvili the almanac, with the permission of the Kremlin, was converted to a magazine and was published regularly, with solid content and a large circulation, before the outbreak of the revolutionary upheavals of 1988 and 1991–1993.
