Project "The Memory Project: Fact-based Countering of Soviet Nostalgia and Russian Historical Revisionism", is coordinated by Ilia State University and funded by the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia.

The aim of the project is to promote access to information, debunk false narratives, collect oral histories, share unheard stories, strengthen civil society, and foster a future grounded in facts and western integration.

Within the project high school students from Kistauri village in Kakheti visited the Museum of Repressed Writers' at the Writers' House of Georgia. During the visit, students learned about the history of the house built in 1905 by Davit Sarajishvili, learned about the purges of writers and taming of literature under the Soviet regime, and participated in a creative workshop, crafting poems in the style of a renowned repressed Georgian writer. This visit is one of a series of visits by regional schools to the Writers' House of Georgia in Tbilisi.
