Aah, have you visited Georgia (though I imagine there would be not insignificant diaspora in other parts of the Soviet Union)? I would love to go there someday, if only to get my hands on some Georgian wine ;-)

Yeah, I think it's "mik'varkhar" (მიყვარხარ)(subject and object can be omitted, as the verb itself in this instance carries a second person object marker! Madness, I say!).

There's a late 80s Soviet comedy, Паспорт, in which the protagonist is Georgian. They speak quite a bit of Georgian in the first half of the movie, though you can't really hear much of it thanks to the miracle of Russian-style dubbing...

(btw, switching between three different alphabets on your keyboard in the same post is rather disorienting...)

No, I've never been, but I REALLY want to go one day. I hung out with Georgians in Russia.  There were a lot of them, actually.  I don't know what it's like for them now, but then it wasn't an issue, really.  

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
