Zurab Zhvania

Prime Minister of Georgia (1963-2005)

Zurab Zhvania belongs to the record of public life as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Zurab Zhvania as Prime Minister of Georgia (1963-2005).

Zurab Zhvania was born at Tbilisi in 1963. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union.

Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.

The record gives his occupations as politician, official and biologist.

Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.

His work was formally recognised with the St. George's Order of Victory and January 13th commemorative medal.

That the work was done from the Soviet Union matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Zurab Zhvania died in 2005 at the age of 42. The work outlived the arguments around it.
