'''Solomon Dodashvili''' ({{lang-ka|სოლომონ დოდაშვილი}}), also known as '''Solomon Ivanovich Dodaev-Mogarsky''' ({{langx|ru|Соломон Иванович Додаев-Могарский}}) (May 17, 1805 – August 20, 1836), was a [[Georgia (country)|Georgian]] philosopher, journalist, historian, grammarian, [[Belles-lettres|belletrist]] and enlightener.

Dodashvili was born in Magharo, [[Kakheti]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], then part of [[Russian Empire|Imperial Russia]]. Having graduated from [[St Petersburg University]] in 1827, he obtained a [[Magister (degree)|Magister]] degree in philosophy there in 1828. During his stay in the Russian capital, he was close to [[Decembrist]] ideas and witnessed their 1825 mutiny. In 1828, Dodashvili returned to [[Tiflis]], where he worked as an educator. He composed histories, grammars, and summaries of philosophy for his young pupils and led them into political opposition to the Russian rule. His idealistic pedagogues influenced many Georgian intellectuals and poets, including [[Nikoloz Baratashvili]], who combined modern nationalism with European [[Romanticism]].<ref>[[Donald Rayfield]] (2000), ''[[The Literature of Georgia: A History]]'', p. 145. Routledge (UK), {{ISBN|0-7007-1163-5}}</ref> At the same time, from 1828 to 1832, he edited the first Georgian-language literary magazine "Tp’ilisis utsk’ebani", a weekly addition to the Russian "Tiflisskie Vedomosti".

His career was terminated by the failure of the [[1832 Georgian plot|1832 conspiracy]] against the Russian hegemony, in which he was a participant. Unlike most of his coconspirators, who seconded the [[Monarchism in Georgia|restoration of Georgian monarchy]], he proposed a republic as a form of government. Arrested by police, he was deported to Russia proper. He was kept in captivity in [[Kirov, Kirov Oblast|Vyatka]] and died there of [[tuberculosis]]. He was reburied to [[Mtatsminda Pantheon]], Tbilisi, in 1994.<ref>{{in lang|ru}} [http://magazines.russ.ru/druzhba/2000/10/dodaeva.html Соломон вернулся на родину, an excerpt from a book by Anzhelika Dodaeva-Magarskaya], his descendant.</ref>
