The international conference Ideology and Linguistic Ideas was organized by the Giorgi Akhvlediani Society for the History of Linguistics and hosted by Tbilisi State University 6-9 October 2017.

Thank you to Professor Tinatin Bolkvadze for organizing this very interesting event with the participation of senior researchers such as Academician Tamaz Gamkrelidze and Prof. Mzekala Shanidze and a number of Russian and other international reserchers into the history of linguistics from the early Soviet period.
