Kristine (Chito) Sharashidze was born on August 2, 1887 in the village of Bakhvi. Her parents - Nina Kikodze and Gigo Sharashidze were public teachers. Her family suffered from material problems, but they handle with these problems together. Initially, Kristine studied at school of village Bakhvi and then at St. Nino Women's Gymnasium in Kutaisi. In 1904, as she was an organizer of pupils revolutionary movement, was considered as a politically unreliable pupil and was expelled from the gymnasium. This fact speaks well on her character and rebel soul. Just at the age of 17, Kristine mobilized forces against the system exactly with this above mentioned movement and was able to gather round like-minded people. She notes that, during that period, she was inspired with revolutionary ideas and certificate or any other official document seemed to be superfluous. However, a year later with respect and warship of her mother, Kristine renewed her studies at Gymnasium and even graduated it. Afterward, with the help of her parents she moved to Tbilisi. Chito did not have many friends. As her sister’s grand-daughter Nina Kartsivadze states, she did not use to talk much at home, her friend was a paper as she was interested in writing. According to her, Kristine had western opinions. Kristine Sharashidze, like her parents, led pedagogical activities. In 1907-1923, she taught Georgian language and literature in upper classes of Kutaisi and Tbilisi secondary schools. In the following years she was reading lectures on public teachers’ courses. At the same time, in 1916-1921, Kristine was a member of the editorial board of "Jejili", in 1917, she was elected as a member of the "Society for spreading the literacy among Georgians”.

From personal records, it is clear that she was a very humble person, constantly doubting in herself and thought that she had a lot to learn to reach her own purposes. Therefore, she often complained about herself and constantly suffered from inner dissatisfaction. In a number of records, it is often said that she was often given to self-mortification and called herself selfish and frivolous. "How tortures me even my microscopic insufficiency!", "I wish I would die, not to see my frailty with my own eyes," said a woman who played one of the biggest and prominent role in the recent history of Georgia. It is noteworthy, that at one point, strict and confident Kristine was very nervous during every public speech. Despite such a rebellious spirit, Kristine was a peace-loving and a true diplomat. This is clearly seen from one of her memories, when she settled the conflict with Dashnaks and their opponents with her characteristic, diplomatic and bold speech. During the membership of so-called "pilots’ unit," Kristine, who was enthralled with the great desire to establish peace, with the rest of the members of the unit confronted the conflict between Dashnak officer army and “Enemy territory ”. Chito addressed to adjutant of Vorontsov-Dashnak and told him that such behavior of the government army would not establish peace and verbal negotiation and care for wounded people were necessary, that would only be possible if the military actions would be stopped. Kristine asked to the adjutant of the viceroy to order ceasefire and the latter agreed. In her recordings, she recalls another interesting story from that period. During one of the disarrangement, her elder brother – Shalva told Kristina, that she had to enter into the meeting and explain what was going on in the streets. Kristine emotionally expressed the impressions of that day in presence of 30 people. At that night she heard what Bolsheviks told about her story: "Do you really think that I believed even one word of that nervous lady?" Kristine was distinguished with an exceptional fearless and courage. She raised the voice thoughtlessly against incredibly vicious system and was saying directly what she was thinking. Her words were like bullets and she targeted them even when the real bullets were whistling by her ears.
