  • Prince Kita (Ivane) Abashidze was a Georgian literary critic, journalist, and politician. Abashidze was born into a noble family in the province of Guria. Having graduated from Kutaisi Classic Gymnasium (1889), he attended the lectures in philosophy and art theory in Paris and studied law at the Odessa University (1890-1895). Later in the 1890s, he worked for the Tiflis control chamber, and then as an arbitrator in Racha and Chiatura in western Georgia. From 1893 onward, he engaged in journalism and regularly wrote literary criticism for Georgian press. His aesthetics and views on the contemporary Georgian and world literature were shaped under the influence of the Georgian intellectuals of the 1860s and the French critic Ferdinand Brunetière. In the early 1900s, Abashidze was involved in the management of Chiatura manganese industry, and later chaired the Manganese Industry Council. He also joined the Georgian Social Federalist Party and became one of its leaders. After the fall of the Imperial Russian government in the 1917 February Revolution, Abashidze was appointed a commissar for education within the Special Transcaucasian Committee ("Ozakom"), a provisional regional administration, being the only Georgian member of this body at its outset. In March 1917, he was replaced in the Ozakom with the Social-Democrat Akaki Chkhenkeli.

Абашидзе первый произвёл основную классификацию новой грузинской литературы по школам и направлениям. Критические статьи Абашидзе отмечены эрудицией и эстетическим вкусом. Представитель сравнительно-исторического метода в грузинском литературоведении. Его статьи о современных писателях, опубликованные в прессе, оказали большое влияние на развитие грузинской литературы и дали основу профессиональной литературной критике XX века, а фундаментальный труд «Этюды из грузинской литературной истории века», положило основу истории грузинской литературы как научной дисциплине. Жил в Кутаиси. Один из лидеров партии социалистов–федералистов. Член кутаисской масонской ложи, основателями которой были Гегечкори, Зданович и Чхеидзе.
