My father Kandid Charkviani headed the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Georgia for 14 years, from 1938 to 1952, and regularly met with Stalin in various situations. In his thorough memoir "Experienced and Thoughtful", he tells us about all aspects of life in Soviet Georgia of his time and describes in detail a number of important episodes of meetings with Stalin. This book collects fragments from the memoirs of Kandid Charkvian, which most fully characterize Stalin's complex and contradictory personality. Despite the obvious sympathy of the orthodox Marxist author for Joseph Stalin and the communist system, the reader will undoubtedly feel the gloomy atmosphere that reigned in the over-centralized state, totally subordinated to the will of one person. (Gela Charkviani) The portrait of Stalin painted in pastel by the famous Georgian artist Ucha Japaridze, which he gave to Candid Charkviani in 1947, is used on the cover. The portrait hung in Charkvian's office for years and is now kept in his personal archive. The book includes a card written by Kandid Charkvian to Stalin in December 1949 regarding the state of Soviet linguistics. Notes made in brown pencil on the leaves of the letter belong to Joseph Stalin. This card became the basis for a high-profile discussion on issues of linguistics. It is printed for the first time.
