About
April 9 is a day of mourning. In 1989, on this date, General Rodionov ordered the violent dispersal of demonstrators on Rustaveli Avenue.
April 9 is also Milaโs birthdayโand the date of her marriage to Gena.
Mila and Genaโs relationship began in the late 1980s in Yerevan and collapsed along with the Soviet Union.
Having fled the Karabakh war, they settled in Tbilisi in โSeasideโ.
Their family remains trapped in the ruins of history and the bunker of independent Georgia.
