Vakhtang Kikabidze, well known singer answering questions of Sobesednik.ru said: I always have had songs about ordinary person, about friendship and love, about good neighbors. How Georgian can be an enemy of Russian man. My father has died at Kerch in 1942 (in WWII). If only he resurrected he would be ashamed with the fact what happens now between us.
Two years ago I factually lost my job, because the main income I had on the Russia's scene. And the matter is not only about money, but as well that Russians can listen as nobody else can do this. The half of my scenic repertoire is on the Russian language, but I refused to come to this country consciously.
I am upholding Georgian President. I had voted for him. And I like what he makes with our country. If you will arrive to Georgia You will see how our little country became an oasis. But before that, country was at the edge of destruction. This young man makes Georgia a civilized European country. Now a very serious reform of the education system is on. Recently the big band of narcodealers was cached and at the very next morning an order was issued by President to buy for school pupils personal computers for the money expropriated from those criminals. Each first year pupil got brand new own computer.
To the point, Saakashvili says permanently, we have to be friends with Russia. You did not hear he said this?
The politics is not my business. I never was Comsomolets, I never got USSR Communist Party membership. For me all these things were far distant. Politicians are forgetting that we are living only once. I have a documentary filming how Georgians were beaten and expelled from Russia, only for the reason that they are Georgians. Georgian women were thrown out with its small children and laggage in airport. Such things one cannot forgive.
In 2008 Russians killed a best friend of my grandchild Giorgi. When I asked to the Russian young soldier "Do you know to which country you came to fight? - He replied to me - To the Muslim country with the population of 42 million". But we are only 3.5 million. And this happens between two Christian countries - one huge and another smallest. All world cries: this should not happen.
