01UndatedI was writing my Ph.D. in the late 1980s and was keeping an eye on what was happening in the world. It became obvious to me that Russia couldn't live without computers. I think I worked this out a year before anyone else. I started looking for people who could help import them.Bidzina Ivanishvili / quote ↗
02UndatedIt was not my wish to come into politics. I was not a public person; I preferred to spend my birthdays with family and friends. But the 2008 elections were fraudulent, so I decided to finance the opposition to make them stronger.Bidzina Ivanishvili / quote ↗
03UndatedRestoration of friendship with Russia, our biggest neighbor, is necessary for our peace and economy.Bidzina Ivanishvili / quote ↗
