Official Family Statement on the Passing of Huta Gagua
It is with profound sorrow that we, the family of Huta Gagua—sons Irakli Gagua, Sandro Gagua, Levan Gagua, and daughter Nasi Gagua—announce the passing of our beloved father on August 20, 2025. A celebrated Georgian poet, Huta left an indelible mark on literature.
Born on August 10, 1935, in Babushara, Abkhazia, Huta began publishing poetry in 1955 and graduated from the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute in 1963. His works, including Silence (Безмолвие) and Lyrics (ლირიკა), earned him the 1983 Writers’ Union of Georgia Prize and the 1988 Council of Ministers Prize. Since 1995, he has lived in Tampere, Finland, actively engaging in local Orthodox church life. His legacy of blending Georgian poetic traditions will endure. He found peace in Finland and was devoted to God.
We extend our gratitude for the love and support shown to Huta throughout his life. Details of memorial services will follow.
