The funeral ceremony takes place at the local Philharmonic. According to various media reports, hundreds of people come to see the Georgian artist on his last journey and lay flowers at his coffin. Everyone is allowed into the building.
The ceremony was attended not only by fans, but also by prominent cultural figures, politicians and other public figures. Stanislav Sadalsky also appeared at the Philharmonic, who flew to Georgia a few days ago to honor the memory and pay tribute to his colleague. Judging by the video recorded by Stanislav Yuryevich, the ceremony of farewell to the beloved people of Buba was held magnificently.
The coffin with the body of Vakhtang Konstantinovich was located on the stage of a large concert hall. As was the case during the memorial service at the Kashveti temple in the center of Tbilisi, it was covered with the flags of Georgia and Ukraine. In the background of Sadalsky’s video, you can see a large screen on which excerpts from films with the participation of Kikabidze were broadcast. At the same time, Buba’s voice was pouring out of the speakers – so the organizers of the farewell wanted not only to remind everyone present regarding the films with the participation of the actor, but also regarding his songs. In the video you can hear the immortal composition “Chito-gvrito” by Vakhtang Konstantinovich from “Mimino” directed by Georgy Daneliya. The artist will be buried at the Veriysky cemetery in Tbilisi.
We will remind, earlier the last video with Kikabidze hit the Network. Ksenia Sobchak published it on her YouTube channel. The journalist managed to interview the great artist shortly before his death. In the end, many viewers were struck by how bad the actor was during communication with Ksenia Anatolyevna. Vakhtang Konstantinovich hardly spoke, coughed and showed terrible wounds.
“Three days ago it was very, very bad, it never happened like that. I lay down and said, “Lord, take me. How – do not care. What I’m lying on is called hemodialysis. This is when the kidney does not work, ”Kikabidze shared.
