People about Bendukidze

Kaha left us, and as it usually happens, even we, people who appreciated him during his lifetime, comprehended the real scale of this truly outstanding personality after his death. And on a complete and deep assessment, probably, you will still need time.

Kakha was unexpectedly appointed Minister of Economics of Georgia, most of the Georgian public accepted him with suspicion and antagonism. Unfortunately, this approach and today have many. Accustomed to think of primitive stereotypes, our intensives could not imagine that to come to a high position with a successful multimillioner can move other goals except to earn even more money. Unfortunately, it is often so, and Georgian political reality, as a rule, confirms this, but in the case of Kahi, the case was really different ...

It finally turned out when the Kakha Bendukidze had gone from the policy of Bandukidze invested his own solid funds in the case of the future, in the development of the Higher Education of Georgia, he himself headed this case, and after only 2-3 years he gave Georgian youth to get the best university world-class education. There is no need to be a big economist in order to understand that with a purely financial point of view, this investment actually would not bring anything other than expenses. However, many people and here did not believe in his unfortunateness, since we often do not want to see a simple and understandable truth, and instead, invent some intricate, conspiracy myths. Such a myth was invented almost immediately at the arrival of Kahi. Slogan myth was: "Bendukidze-Judas", and the content of the following: the famous oligarch came to Georgia to help the government of Saakashvili sell Georgia in Russia and world world, and warmly warm on this hands.

Kakha himself was treated with this swearing and accusations with a charming humor characteristic. In general, humor is an inseparable satellite of a strong and original intelligence, and Kakha generously was awarded this talent. Along with other reasons, that is why he has always been such a welcome guest of numerous television shows, and this property has given the love of his friends, students, and many other people.

The phenomenon of Bendukidze lies in his biography. Kakha on the vocation was a scientist, and in his youth he did a successful career in microbiology. You can safely say if Soviet life continued its slow down for another 10-15 years, Kakha would certainly be a famous scientist. The radical mixing of the usual lifestyle, and the emergence of new unexpected opportunities led it, like millions of Soviet citizens, in business. However, both in business, and in the follow-up of Bendukidze to the end remained an original thinking creative scientist. Meanwhile, any science, as Emmanuel Kant said, is only as much as it is mathematics. This deep thought is best suited by Kakhe Bendukidze. As a true scientist of its sharp mathematical intelligence in business, in the state, and social activities, it has always been able to bring complex realities before him to simple mathematical and logical models, remove everything too much, expose their essence, and resolve the courageous, fast, and simple strokes For many problems. That is why his business activity in Russia is more reminiscent of refined, simple chess games that are in the Zenith Career Capablanca than a banal accumulation of money. Kaha did not belong to the number of traditional Russian oligarchs. He also did not have an appropriate amount of capital. Despite this, he was an outstanding and very popular figure in the Russian business elite. This was explained by the fact that Bendukidze was busy not so much the accumulation of money as related to new economic realities. It was socially very active, and generously enriched Russian politically economic life with new, original and deep ideas. It is well known, for example, that he is the author of the Russian law "On currency regulation", which is successfully operating at the present time. It is no coincidence that before moving to Georgia Kaha many years was the vice-president of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Russia. It is said that if in 2000, Putin believed the Council, and appointed the post of Minister of Economy Kahu Bendukidze and not German Gref, today Russia would have a healthy, efficient, and rapidly developing economy. Russia is not lucky. But lucky Georgia.

In Georgia, Kakha Bendukidze soon walked a rough, brazen cynic. His opponents in the government and public discussions often received enough painful tumaki from him, sometimes Kaha avoided and obscene vocabulary. Here we are dealing with some paradox, since to those whom he respected, he was extremely correct, and often in the situation-free situations showed amazing shyness, modesty and warmth. In addition, brought up in the family of sophisticated scientists of intellectuals, he could not be a silent man. The solution to this paradox should be looking for again in particular its mind. Kakha's clear logic and the insightful mind of the scientist so quickly and clearly saw the reality and the right paths compared to others, which, because of his temperament and great love, he was terribly annoyed by the country damaging and braking the mental stupidity and unscognition of others. Temperament and emotionality were actually an inseparable part of the creature kakhi. His life is characterized by the rarest, outstanding activity. Physical dimensions and ridiculousness of Kahi, to which he treated with irony, and which caused a warm smile in his friends and fans, a hundred times was compensated by hyperactivity of his spiritual, intellectual life, and an emotional charge. Therefore, his activity is so diverse and volume, and that most importantly, he really did business with love.

Georgia has seen many thieves, corrupt officials, robbers and degenerators, including high positions. It was by their "merit" many disasters occurred, which fell out of our people. Many of them at times and are now preached with high-alkaline phrases. Fortunately, the Lord does not leave us, and sends us outstanding people with the clear mind and the heart of the Patriot, who do not give the country to die, and thanks to their talent and love for the country send it to the best future.

It was one of these people and was Kakha Bendukidze, who headed the economy of Georgia just when she was almost completely in a swamp. At that moment, to gain air in order to jump onto the surface, Georgia needed a person with such radical and bold thinking. Obvious Libertarianism Kahi was the result of the already mentioned ability of the scientist to bring complex to simple. Taking into the hands of the Brazda coordination of the economy of Georgia and Georgian reforms, he chose a course of maximalist steps towards the country's reforms. His such ideas are well known as, for example, "all except conscience should be sold, and bringing the role of the state to a minimum. As a result, it justified what the economic and other indicators of the country appear, but any radicalism, as a rule, accompany him characteristic errors. Errors were kakhi. I think he was too passionate about the idea of \u200b\u200bprimacy of economic feasibility, and forgot that an effective theoretical scheme can be politically unreasonably dangerous. I do not fully share the position of Bendukidze that strategic objects in the country do not exist. The idea of \u200b\u200bBendukidze was undoubtedly a mistake about the sale of the main gas pipeline from Russia. True, the funds received from the sale of this gas pipeline as the air were needed then Georgia, but today it is even more clear that in terms of exporting Iranian gas, this strategic object is of fundamental importance in the hands of Georgia's state, and it is very good that this incorrect step then not was made.

Nevertheless, it should be said that the mistakes and weaknesses of the Bendukidze are a continuation of its extremely positive activities and strengths, and here, of course, positive immeasurably prevails over negative. In Praise, Kakha should be said that he, as a person of the living, critical mind, did not stand still. I think he reworked a lot and rethought in a new one in his mind, since radicalism has decreased enough in his late performances and publications, and state thinking rose to a tangible higher level.

Kaha was sharply different in the government and in general in the Society of Georgia. This was expressed that he was inimitable erudite, and could competently discuss many different questions. At the same time, he had the ability to quickly quickly explore the information of a large volume. Eyewitnesses can confirm what an amazing spectacle was the participation of Kahi Bendukidze in the meetings of the government and other government meetings. He came to meetings accompanied by his young talented team, whose members carefully followed the discussion. He studied in detail the riddled day or two to the meeting a huge folder with more than one hundred different issues. As long as for several years Kakha was an invariable meeting of the meetings, no minister, or another official there was no opportunity to follow something on the issue, "put something" something, or come unprepared. He, as a rule, sat at the government round table on a special dimension specially intended for him, and at first glance was completely immersed in his mobile phone of large size with the functions of the computer in which he spent some operations (as it turned out later, he Played in colored balls). Such an alienation of Kahi during the meeting was deliberate. In the midst of the speech, he often asked the Rapporteur such "failed" questions, or pointed attention to such an unexpected detail that the direction of the issue took a radically different course. Who will say how much the mistakes escaped, and how many processes received a new, positive direction. Yes, this man really bestly corresponded to its position of the reform coordinator. Almost all successful affairs and endeavors, during the years in Georgia intensive reforms there are contribution of Kakhi Bendukidze.

No less interesting life of kahi after leaving the state office. It was at that time that many saw the real face of this outstanding personality. It seems that the insatiable oligarch fulfilled the program "Sales" of Georgia, and new, accumulated according to some millions should have been used for subsequent enrichment. Instead, he establishes a "knowledge fund", and one by one free, and agricultural universities. Own huge money resources Bendukidze spends on investing the future country without any prospect of financial profit. However, in addition to the money, if not more, there was a significant investment of the intellect of kahi in this huge case. Kakha is so right and deeply calculated this thing that we all became eyewitnesses of the real miracle: for just some 2-3 years our country received the best two universities in Georgia in Georgia. I do not know that I will take a grateful offspring to perpetuating the name of Kakhi Bendukidze, but Kakh himself has already done it, he set himself the best monument in the form of free and agricultural universities.

The latter and, unfortunately, a very short period of life and activities of Bendukidze is associated with Ukraine. In danger, a friendly state invited a famous Georgian reformer to help in the reform of Ukraine. Kakha Bendukidze became a member of the Economic and Advisory Board of the Government of Ukraine. Made by Kakhi in public events in Ukraine assessment of the country's position and tips turned out to be very sharp and painful for society, but it was the usual direct style of kakhi, and the characteristic ability to expose the reality gave Ukrainians the opportunity to objectively see the position of their country. Kaha very soon turned into a very popular figure in Ukraine. Bendukidze master classes in Ukraine, I think, will take a very important place in the textbooks for the Office of Economics and the State. The Ukrainian people tied great hopes with Bendukidze. We considered the options for its appointment to different important positions. Unfortunately, these plans were not destined to come true. Despite these officials and representatives of the public of this country, unanimously note that during this short time Kaha still managed much, he laid the foundation for the right course of reforming Ukraine, outlined the right paths and tasks, and as noted, the power of Ukraine conducts reforms just the same Bendukidze's advice.

Life kakhi interrupted abroad. In recent months, he spoke to friends that he would have to leave the country, as it went to his arrest. Pursuit began in 2013, when in front of the amazed public, the Ministry of Education of Georgia suspended the license to the most successful and prestigious agrarian university in the country, based on Bendukidze. The minister and the government then proceeded, they had to retreat, but unfortunately they did not stop the persecution of an outstanding Georgian figure. Funny, but the "famous" prosecutor's office of Georgia began to search for corruption tentacles in the case of Kahi, in which he invested a large number of his own money. Kaha was forced to escape from Georgia ...

The power of Georgia considered that Kakha Bendukidze is dangerous for her. Thus, she declared its incompatibility with talent, progress, and development. The history of the persecution of Bendukidze is so shameful and sickening that there is no desire to talk a lot about it. Must declare one thing: a regime that considers people like Bendukidze dangerous for himself, discredited and is doomed. The bright name kakhi will not suffer from this. Mount to those who record their name in history by pursuit of the best sons of their own country.

In one of the television shows, Kaha called the driving force of Georgia's economy the next triad: "Labor, knowledge, and freedom." It is better not to say, and this formula actually expresses his identity with the striking accuracy. All his life was just the same manifestation of labor, knowledge, and freedoms. A country that can produce such sons to the light, will definitely win.

Episodes of life

Bedducidze Childhood could not be called secured - scientific employees and teachers always earned not so much. He still realized that his parents were given hard, and therefore always appreciated them as an equivalent of labor. Later, Bendukidze told: "Now I come to the store, I see a thing. The thing costs two dollars. And I know that this thing should cost halfdollar. I believe it is unethical, obscene - take and pay these two dollars. "

Bendukidze was a rich man enough. But it believed that "live in wealth is nice, but harmful, to lead a Spartan lifestyle - unpleasant, but useful, and so that is harmful in the square, so it is to bring to the absurdity and the other." He was not interested in neither personal aircraft, no yachts, no expensive cars or other attributes of luxurious life. He always sought to remain himself, that's why the last years of life he spent so much money for charity.

Kakha Bendukidze believed that many of the current directors of enterprises are actually bad managers, and this is the cause of their financial failures. He, not embarrassed, called such people dependents, admitting that he would never have come to go and say to someone to give him money, since he needed. Bendukidze said: "It is necessary, then I will earn them."

When Kakha Bendukidze took over the post of minister of economy, he immediately acquired almost scandalous fame in Georgia. The visiting card of Bendukidze was the phrase: "All except conscience is sold and bought, and part of the Georgian population perceived it. Bendukidze just remained faithful to his principles and debt.

And finally, rumor from the life of the oligarchs. It is said that the general director of OJSC "United Engineering Plants" Kakha Bendukidze became a teacher of the Higher School of Economics. Why did it need a prominent Russian entrepreneur and what exactly he is doing there - a mystery. If you believe local gossips, he does not read lectures and seminars does not lead.
