Murman Lebanidze

Murman Lebanidze, born in 1922 in the town of Aghstafa, in Azerbaijan, entered the philology faculty of Tbilisi University in 1940. The war interrupted him: he fought at the passes of the Caucasus and then on the Kuban, and his wounds sent him back to Tbilisi in 1943. The writers' union welcomed him in 1945 for verses written at the front, and he obtained his degree in 1948. An editor of newspapers and journals from 1946, he was later editor-in-chief at the State Committee for Printing and chaired the Shota Rustaveli society. A translator of Kipling and Burns, he died in Tbilisi in 2002.
