On August 17th, 1936, a decree of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR declared that several Caucasian cities should receive more authentic names. In particular, Tiflis became Tbilisi.

The decree apparently came into force on August 20th, the day of the replay. The newspapers had to clarify.
