After the Russian Red Army occupied independent Georgia, the renowned Georgian historian and researcher, Eqvtime Takaishvili, was entrusted with the incredibly difficult task of safely transporting most of Georgia's treasures abroad to protect them from the Soviet regime, ensuring their intact return. Over the course of 25 painstaking and perilous years, Eqvtime managed to bring back all the treasures without any losses. Upon his return, the 82-year-old Eqvtime faced questioning by KGB General Nikoloz Rukhadze. He was subsequently expelled from the University of Georgia, sentenced to house arrest, and prohibited from receiving visits from friends and family; many of whom were also arrested.

Georgian filmmaker and political activist Goga Khaindrava finished work on the documentary TV series, which is titled Herocratia and deals with prisoner torture and other government crimes against the population during the nine years Mikheil Saakashvili's National Movement was running the country. Also former political prisoners attended the premiere of the new series, which will be aired on Imedi and GDS starting from September 6. "The main idea of this film is for people to really acknowledge what kind of disaster we went through," Khaindrava told journalists. "People don't know what kind of hell some people went through." The TVseries consists of only 16 episodes, but Imedi TV divided the series and broadcast it in 2 seasons and 32 episodes.
