– It is important for me that I have finished the job. In my opinion, a monument has turned out unique. The hands of my Jesus turned to the people, it is “Christ preacher.” While the famous “Christ the Redeemer”, which stands on top of a mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, blesses the people. This is their difference.

Initially, I did my Jesus for Sochi. I saw him on a hill in the Imereti Valley. I wanted to figure of Christ stood there for the Olympic Games. There’s also a monument to be erected and the Argonauts. It’s my gift. All this I did for free. It is a pity that there has not found a suitable site.

Now the monument of Jesus Christ is in St. Petersburg. The statue cast Petersburg factory “Monumentskulptura” turned out very good work. I do not want anyone – it disturbed. They want to establish a monument on the banks of the Neva – I am willing to give. Most importantly, it was a lot of fun when I was working and brought the matter to an end.

I have a figure of Christ asks Georgia. He wants monument stood in Mtskheta, near the confluence of the Aragvi and Kura. I hope that he – still find a place in the Russian …
