It had escaped the ravages of the Russian revolution and was about the only town untouched by the revolution up to that time. There were good shops, offering a variety of items, including food and clothing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In 1919\u20131920, Russians who had been expelled or who had fled Russia took shelter here. The city was filled with Russian artists who mingled with Georgian writers and artists and became known as the &#8216;City of Poets.&#8217;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In 1922, the Georgian modernist poet Titsian Tabidze wrote of the recent past:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>Three years ago Russia was something phantasmagorical.

The devastation of the civil war, the freezing Arctic cold, the bloodthirsty Cheka [the Bolshevik secret police], and a famine that acquired the proportions of a mystery play. Subject to inhuman terror, exiled \u00e9migr\u00e9s spoke of unspeakable things. People of culture would kiss the ground of Tbilisi right before our eyes and begin to cry on seeing the light of electric lamps\u2026<\/p>\r\n<cite>T\u2019itsian T\u2019abidze, &#8216;City of Poets&#8217;, see below.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The republic collapsed in 1921.
