Životopis:

Mzechabuk Orbeliani, also known as Mzechabuk Amirejibi, was a Georgian novelist and Soviet-era dissident. He was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 1921. His family, once a princely house, was heavily repressed during Joseph Stalin's Great Purge. After being involved in anti-Soviet activities and being arrested on coup plot charges, he was sentenced to twenty-five years of imprisonment in Siberia. After fifteen years in prison, three prison escapes, and two death sentences, he was ultimately rehabilitated in 1959 and began his literary career in his late thirties. He is notable for his magnum opus, Data Tutashkhia, and his lengthy experience in Soviet prisons.
