Abstract National-cultural and religious disappearance of the Christian countries of the Caucasus (Albania, Iberia, Armenia) from the V century was threatened by Persia. "Kartlis Tskhovreba" (History of Georgia) tells in detail about these acute and dramatic historical events. Historical writings from a later period show one feature of this region. The references to Rani (Aran) as Persia ("Mirian... called from Persia his relative, a descendant of kings, named Peroz") and the inhabitants of this country as Persians ("in Ran, wherever the Persians fought") should not be taken literally. In Georgian historical works, the terms "Persia" and" Persian " in addition to Persia and Persians also meant countries and peoples of the Near and Middle East-Arabs, Turks, and others: "Sultan Arfasaran came out, king of P e R s I I" (Leonti Mroveli, Life of kings); "P e R s I d s K I e s u l t a n s, far and near" ("Chronicle of the times of lash Giorgi", life of king Giorgi); "the Georgians entered the castle, and there was a strong battle, and p e R s s B a g d a d a were defeated" (Chronicle of the century). This situation is due to the fact that the entire territory to the East of the Caucasus for centuries belonged to and was ruled by the Persian Empire of the Achaemenid, Arshakid and Sasanian eras (much later the Arab Caliphate and then the Turkish Sultanate appeared on the historical scene). In Georgian historical texts, in particular in the chronicle "Life of the kings" by Leonti Mroveli, a logical geographical description is given about this – "Persians from the East of the sun". According to Georgian historical data, these peoples also include Albanians who lived to the East of the Georgians. One of the most notable historical events is an extensive episode of romantic love in the life of an Albanian Princess, the daughter of the ruler of Rani (Aran) Barzaboda and a thorough historical account of the dramatic state activities of the Queen of Kartli (Iberia), mother of the great Georgian king Vakhtang Gorgasal-S a g d u x t. Национально-культурным и религиозным исчезновением христианским странам Кавказа (Албании, Иберии, Армении) с V века грозила Персия. «Картлис Цховреба» (История Грузии) подробно повествует об этих острых и драматических исторических событиях. Исторические сочинения более позднего периода показывают одну особенность этого региона. Упоминания Рани (Аран) как Персии («Мириан… призвал из Персии своего родственника, потомка царей, по имени Пероз») и жителей этой страны как персов («В Ран, где бы ни сражались персы») не следует понимать в прямом смысле. В грузинских исторических произведениях под терминами «Персия» и «перс» кроме Персии и персов подразумевались также страны и народы Ближнего и Среднего Востока – арабы, тюрки и другие: «Вышел Султан Арфасаран, царь П е р с и и» (Леонтий Мровели, Жизнь царей); «П е р с и д с к и е с у л т а н ы, далекие и близкие» («Летопись времен Лаша Гиорги», жизнь царя Гиорги); «Внутрь замка вошли грузины, и произошло сильное сражение, и п е р с ы Б а г д а д а потерпели поражение» (Хроника века). Такая ситуация обусловлена тем, что вся территория к востоку от Кавказа веками принадлежала и управлялась Персидской империей эпох Ахеменидов, Аршакидов и Сасанидов (много позднее появились на исторической арене Арабский Халифат и затем Турецкий Султанат). В грузинских исторических текстах, в частности в летописи «Жизнь царей» Леонтия Мровели, об этом дано логическое географическое описание – «Персы с востока от солнца». По грузинским историческим данным, к этим народам в том числе принадлежат и албанцы, жившие к востоку от грузин. Из исторических событий особенно выделяются обширный эпизод романтической любви в жизни албанской принцессы, дочери правителя Рани (Арана) Барзабода и тщательное историческое повествование о драматической государственной деятельности царицы Картли (Иберия), матери великого грузинского царя Вахтанга Горгасала – С а г д у х т.
