==History==
Dusheti is located on both banks of the small mountainous river of Dushetis-Khevi at the foothills of the [[Greater Caucasus]] crest at an elevation of 900 m above sea level. It functions as the center of the Dusheti Municipality which, beyond the town itself, includes several villages of the historical community of [[Pkhovi]] ([[Pshavi]] and [[Khevsureti]]). As of the 2002 all-Georgia census, the town had a population of about 4,600.

Dusheti first appears in Georgian written records in 1215. In the 17th century, it served as a residence of the local mountainous lords – the [[Duchy of Aragvi|dukes of Aragvi]] – whose defiance to the Georgian crown more than once led to invasions and devastation of the town by the royal troops. After the abolition of the duchy of Aragvi in the 1740s, Dusheti passed to the crown but significantly declined. In 1801, the [[Russian Empire|Russians]] took over and granted Dusheti a town status. Next year, it became the center of the Dushet [[uyezd]]. The town and its environs were a scene of disturbances during the [[Russian Revolution of 1905]], the peasants’ revolt in 1918, and an armed clash during the 1924 [[August Uprising]] against the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] rule. Dusheti was a home to nutrition and light industry during the Soviet era, but suffered an economic decline and the population outflow in the years of post-Soviet crisis. Now most people work in service industries (banks, schools, mechanics, and storeowners) as well as subsistence farming. The town is also known for its production of ''[[khinkali]]'', a meat-filled dumpling very popular in Georgia.
