'''Dmitry Avaliani''' ({{lang-ka|დიმიტრი ევგენის-ძე ავალიანი}}; {{lang-rus|Дми́трий Евге́ньевич Авалиа́ни|p=ˈdmʲitrʲɪj jɪvˈɡʲenʲjɪvʲɪtɕ ɐvəlʲɪˈanʲɪ|a=Dmitriy Yevgyen'yevich Avaliani.ru.vorb.oga}}; 6 August 1938 – 19 December 2003) was a Russian poet and [palindromist](/source/palindrome), who made "important" contributions to Russian [visual poetry](/source/visual_poetry). He invented and perfected the Russian [ambigram](/source/ambigram), called ''listoverten<nowiki>'</nowiki>'' ({{langx|ru|листовертень}}; could be loosely translated as ''rotate-page''). This is a short text (usually just a few words) written so that after rotating 90° or 180° it is legible as a different text, or sometimes the same.  Sometimes the two texts together make up one idea, and rhyme. He was especially interested in pantorhyme, [anagram](/source/anagram) and other especially difficult ways of rhyming.
