The Debut of Niko Nikoladze (On the Path of Alexander Orbeliani)

Summary/Abstract: “In 1860, an op-ed article “Kutaisi tittle-tattling” would be published in the 10th edition of Tsiskari, signed under the pseudonym “Kutaisi tittle-tattler”. It concerned the current condition and the future fate of the Georgian language. Vladimer Bakradze would express curiosity in the first edition of “Zakavkaskaya Rech” as of December 1, 1913. He used to reveal the identity behind this pseudonym and as a reply, would send a letter to Niko Nikoladze dated January 7, 1914. – “I engaged in literary work, even though “I still had no clue of literature”; I was still in the gymnasium when my article was published in the Georgian magazine Tsiskari, October edition of 1860. It was a dialogue about the topic: “do we need the Georgian language at all”? He probably meant this very article. He believed it to be his first debut. However… his article had already been published in the 9th edition of Tsiskari, just before this one. The article “Crinoline and Lotto in Kutaisi”, preceded by a welcome note “Dear readers!” – and he had already used the pseudonym “Kutaisi tittle-tattler” (one of the trumpeters)”.
