N. T. NAKASHIDZE The work is a Russian translation of part of the work of the great Georgian historian and geographer of the 18th century Vakhushti Bagration - “History of the Kingdom of Georgia”. This work entered the treasury of Georgian historical science - and not only historical science - and to this day remains a reference book for researchers of the past of the Georgian people. The following “History” covers the period of Georgian history from the 15th to the 18th centuries; it can be considered a completely independent and original study of Vakhushti Bagration. Based on this and taking into account the importance of this work for researchers of the history of Georgia, we considered it possible and necessary to bring it to the Russian reader.
