Politicians We Deserve
Politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from Georgian families, Georgian schools, Georgian churches, Georgian businesses and Georgian universities, and they are elected by Georgian citizens. These politicians are the best we can do folks. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out.

The Making of Georgia
The 70s of the X century is one of the most important stages in the history of Georgia, which throughout its long existence has always had the tendency towards unification, accompanied by the nonetheless weaker separatist soul. This cultural dissonance resulted in various attempts of knitting the kingdom together but almost always ended in an even stronger wave of disintegration.

Well, this could be the summer when you can taste Imeruli khachapuri in Imereti, Megruli in Samegrelo (with local sulguni, yum!), and while doing this enjoy the amazing views of the countryside. International tourism will most probably be severely reduced for the rest of the year. People will not be allowed to travel for some time and even when they can, will they want to,…

Oil Builds Statues – Effigies of Greed
Once upon a time, there was a man, Who had tons and tons of oil wells. He drilled and killed as much as he willed, Forging, gilding all his deeds. Futile were his hordes of sins, Veiling all of pogrom yields. With stygian gold he used to preach, And got himself some statues built. (Building his effigies of greed) At the center of our multicultural city stands an effigy of greed, shamelessly disgracing all of the city’s denizens, while also disrespecting a huge ethnic group inside the country, as well as outside of it. But before we get to that ethical dilemma, let’s talk about the statue itself for…

Tbilisi – The Way I See It

But in spite of this, I still fell in love with her. Today, some people in Georgia say “Tbilisi meant relationships”. But people who say this phrase, are the ones who have sentiments and nostalgia for the Soviet times. Unfortunately, that’s our reality; all the recent good memories about Tbilisi are from the Soviet era when people didn’t worry about heating, gas, electricity,…

Shh! No one should hear us!” – a phrase from the film “Keto and Kote” (comic Opera by Victor Dolidze; premiered in Tbilisi in 1919) This is not a story about walls, nor ears. This is a story about an old Tbilisian Yard, in which I spent my childhood. Fortunately, I remember much from those times, “dark years of the 1990s, 2000s” as we call it nowadays. Despite its darkness, power cuts, and cold, which were part of our daily life, my childhood also had its peculiarities…
