In the mentioned article, we are talking about the Catholic Church history of one of the cities and namely Kutaisi where, under the factual materials, the struggle for influence between Russia and the West is proved. It is well-known fact that the state stands on two resources – human and capital. The main thing in construction of a state, the main thing is the right management of the resources.
