Abstract

The article submitted for consideration is dedicated to the problem of Wolf cult in Indo- European and Kartvelian civilizations. It is well known that there are a lot of different examples which confirmed the existance of parallels of Wolf cult in Kartvelian and Indo-European civilizations and there are suggested some new examples. Beside of it in the article is proposed the hypothesis that in compliance with the ancient tradition it is possible to prove that some Kartvelian termins of the kinship are connected with Wolf cult.In the article also is suggested Kartvelian and Turkish parallels about Gray Wolf. Great attention is devoted to hypothesis about the parallels between hypothetically restored Kartvelian name of a wolf “TUR” and the self – designation of Turks “TYRK”.
