Your contribution to the study of the “Golden Age” of Georgian history is immense. In covering various aspects of the multifaceted activities of our saints, kings David the Builder and Queen Tamar, including reforms in the economic, military, ecclesiastical and legal fields, a socio-economic and political-cultural overview of the era, etc.
Each scientific work, monograph, textbook or scientific article published by you is extremely important in the representation of Georgian historical science.
Your historiographical works are also very valuable: letters and monographs on Vakhushti Bagration, Ivane Javakhishvili, Ekvtime Takaishvili, Shota Meskhia, Niko Berdzenishvili and other prominent Georgian historians.
Your contribution to the publication of the twelve volumes of the Georgian Soviet Encyclopedia is invaluable. As a result of your great efforts, the Georgian people were given a document confirming their great culture and history.
You were the rector of the Alexander Pushkin Pedagogical Institute (now Ilia State University) in Tbilisi and the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. It is your greatest merit that Tbilisi State University restored the status of an autonomous higher education institution, which it had lost after 1926; and that today Tbilisi State University is governed by a University Council. In addition, Under your direct leadership, the Faculty of Medicine was reestablished at the university, about ten scientific research laboratories and scientific centers were created, new departments were established, the number of specialties increased, etc.
Your reports on the history of Georgia at numerous international scientific events are exemplary.
