And there is not much information about the poet himself in his early years. It is clear from official sources only that he did not come to his literary vocation from his youth.
Training
At first, Simon received a classical and maximally "masculine" education - in 1974 he graduated from the Faculty of Applied Mathematics at the Lviv Polytechnic University. However, creativity interrupted everything, and the young man did not dare to devote his life to the exact sciences.
Already a couple of years after graduating from the specialty software engineer Osiashvili understands that his passion is poetry. It was at the age of 24 that he began to write his poems. And then he was influenced by chance, as Simon himself says. He read the poem "To the Music of Vivaldi" by Alexander Velichansky. And it awakened a creative streak in the future poet. From here began his path to the famous and popular poet, in demand among the brightest stars of the Soviet and Russian stage.
A little later, Osiashvili continued his education - in 1985 he graduated from the Gorky Literary Institute. As his biographers note, he chose a poetry workshop led by Lev Oshanin and Vladimir Kostrov. Another popular Soviet poet, Mikhail Tanich, also influenced the work of Simon Osiashvili.
