A Caucasus capital whose bench is an unusually even mix of sport and conservatory. Tbilisi's distinctive professions are rugby players at nearly eighteen times the global rate, chess players at more than twelve, wrestlers, pianists, physicists, and film workers — a profile that reflects both the Soviet-era athletic school and a long Georgian tradition of music and cinema, from the Vakhtangov theatre through Sergei Parajanov. The Rustaveli-era medieval bench is unusually intact for a post-Soviet capital.
