Biography
Born in Tbilisi . The fifth child in the family of Crown Prince George ( 1746 - 1800 ), the future king of Kartli and Kakheti George XII Iraklievich ( 1798 - 1800 ), from a second marriage with Mariam Georgievna Tsitsishvili ( 1768 - 1850 ).
Elizbar (Ilya) was 10 years old when his father passed away in December 1800 after a two-year reign. George XII appointed his eldest son David XII as his successor, but his younger brothers (sons Darejan Dadiani ) refused to recognize David XII as king. Tsarovich Yulon , the eldest son of Heraclius II from his second marriage with Darejan Dadiani, began to claim the royal throne. An open rivalry began between them, which threatened to develop into a civil war. In 1801, the Russian Empire announced the annexation of the Kartli-Kakheti kingdom and the abolition of tsarist power in eastern Georgia. All members of the royal family of Bagration were to be moved from Georgia deep into Russia.
In 1803, Tsarevich Elizbar witnessed the murder of Russian General Ivan Lazarev , which was committed by his mother, the Dowager Tsarina Mariam Georgievna , who refused to leave for Russia. As a result, Mariam and her children were transported to Russia. The tsarina herself was imprisoned in a convent, and Tsarevich Ilya Georgievich was admitted to the Page Corps for military training.
Prince Ilya Bagrationi, known in Russia as Tsarevich Ilya Georgievich, in March 1812 bore the rank of second lieutenant in the Jaeger Life Guards regiment , as part of which he participated in the war with Napoleonic France. Under the command of Major General K.I. Bistrom, Ilya Georgievich fought near Smolensk and distinguished himself in the Battle of Borodino . In September 1812, due to illness, he retired and returned to civil service in Moscow . During the campaign of 1813-1814. Ilya Gruzinsky served in the reserve army under the command of the general , Prince Dmitry Ivanovich Lobanov-Rostovsky . In 1823, Prince Ilya was transferred to the Izmailovsky Life Guards Regiment and received the rank of colonel . In the same year he retired.
Prince Ilya Gruzinsky lived mainly in Moscow . In 1832, Georgian nobles and intellectuals plotted against Russian rule in Georgia , planning to restore the monarchy led by the Bagration dynasty. Among the main conspirators was Prince Okropir Georgievich , Ilya's younger brother, who lived in St. Petersburg . During interrogation, Philadelphus Kiknadze , one of the participants in the conspiracy, said that Prince Ilya was present when his brother Okropir discussed with him the current situation in Georgia. Despite this, Ilya Georgievich was not prosecuted and escaped exile.
Living in Russia, like many of his brothers, sisters and relatives, Ilya Gruzinsky showed an interest in literature. In 1844, he translated from French into Georgian the correspondence of Leibniz and Clark .
In July 1854, 63-year-old Prince Ilya Georgievich Gruzinsky died in Moscow and was buried in the Pokrovsky monastery .

Their two sisters [2] , the father in one of the local upbringing houses has 3 million 300 thousand rubles. What a wealth. And will her happiness be so rich? |
