Dzhikia height - Georgy Dzhikia (Spartak) - biography, photo, video, goals, news, statistics

Childhood

Georgy Dzhikia is Georgian by nationality. His parents lived in Sukhumi when the military conflict between Georgia and Abkhazia began, and the family was forced to flee to Russia. Subsequently, both family houses in Sukhumi were destroyed.

During these terrible events, the future hope of the Russian team was in my mother’s stomach. Georgy was born in Balashikha, near Moscow, like his younger brother. By the way, the football player also has an older brother, he became a dentist.

When Georgiy turned 6, his parents, who, although they had nothing to do with sports, were passionate football fans, took him to the football section of the local Victoria sports school. There, the boy, under the guidance of coach Sergei Mikheev, began to learn the basics of football art.

Soon, classes in the section crowded out all the boy’s other interests and did not have the best effect on his academic performance. If in the elementary grades he successfully coped with the school curriculum, then later he often skipped classes, and he simply did not have enough strength or time for homework.

After one of Victoria’s friendly matches with the Lokomotiv youth team, ten-year-old Georgy was invited to the football school of the famous club. It was located in Perovo, so the guy spent a lot of money and time on the road - it took him an hour and a half to get there one way.

Georgy is grateful to the parents who worked tirelessly so that their son could safely play sports. However, he himself did not sit idle: during the summer holidays he worked as a painter, mowed lawns, or cleaned the school yard. As soon as the opportunity arose, he insisted that the parents quit their jobs and devote themselves to raising their youngest son.

Gennady Dzhikia: biography and latest news

Gennady Dzhikia was well remembered by viewers of the television project “Dom-2”. And the reality show participants themselves will not forget this guy for a long time. What could surprise this guy so much? All the details of the biography of Gennady Dzhikia will be told today.

Gennady Dzhikia, whose biography will become the object of attention today, was born on November 26, 1986 in the city of Chisinau, Moldova. Since childhood, he grew up as a very active boy together with his brother, who is one and a half years younger than Gennady. Already in his teens, Gennady Dzhikia was interested in sports, and he was especially attracted to kickboxing.

The young man never received a higher education. But before the project, he worked as a chef and also ran his own business. By the way, Gennady does not specify in his stories exactly what kind. Filling out a questionnaire before his first visit to the Dom-2 project, the young man wrote that he loved everything related to sports.

His main social circle is athletes. As for relationships, Gennady has always stated that he strives for marriage and wants to have children. In his understanding, an ideal relationship is passion on both sides, when dishes break, scandals occur, but at the same time there is reciprocity and feelings.

Quite an infantile idea, I must say. Gennady loves cooking, beautiful sports cars, bodybuilding, as well as extreme sports and everything connected with it. His pet is a dog named Chervonets, who, by the way, is a prize-winner in dog fighting in Russia and Ukraine. It is not for nothing that they say that pets have a similar character to their owners.

Gennady always strived for fame and popularity. His deepest dream is to be recognized and loved by many, while imposingly signing autographs and taking pictures with his fans. And the young man never refuses an interview. Gennady will not miss an extra opportunity to stroke his pride.

I must say that Gennady Dzhikia came to the Dom-2 project three times. However, the young guy could not find the one with whom there would be both passion and love.

His first appearance on reality television was not successful. During his entire stay there in the first period, he only managed to make friends with another participant, namely Rustam Solntsev.

After some time, Gennady returned to the project, where this time he liked Yana Zemit. But nothing worked out for the couple, and Yana herself chose to leave for someone else.

Further on Gennady Dzhikia’s track record were girls such as Evgenia Feofilaktova and Polina Nenasheva. But, alas, nothing worked out with them either. By the way, Evgenia Feofilaktova initially came to the project to win Gennady’s heart.

Then the young man rather specifically courted Alexandra Kharitonova and Svetlana Davydova. As you might have already guessed, these manipulations did not lead to anything worthwhile. And this is not the entire list of girls who suffered from the courtship of Gennady Dzhikia.

And yet he, too, found his happiness. They say that at the beginning of 2013 Gennady finally got married. His chosen one named Vitalia has nothing to do with the television project “Dom-2”. By the way, at the time of the wedding the bride was already in a very interesting position. Therefore, now we can congratulate Gennady on becoming a father.

Gennady Dzhikia's favorite actor is Vin Diesel. The former participant in the television project “Dom-2” wants to be like his idol. Gennady’s favorite films are “Fast and Furious” and “Xxx”. However, this was not at all difficult to guess.

Many former participants in the Dom-2 project have repeatedly said that Gennady is a humorous character, as if from anecdotes. Indeed, there is something about him that makes you not take him seriously. That’s how he is, the childish and flighty Gennady Dzhikia.

First steps in professional sports

In 2011, Dzhikiya joined the Lokomotiv-2 team, headed by coach Evgeny Kharlachev. There he spent three successful seasons and had every chance of moving to the main team of the club. However, due to a change in coach, these plans were not destined to come true, and he finished the 2013/2014 season at FC Spartak-Nalchik, where he spent four months.

Coach Evgeny Kharlachev was not going to give up the talented player so easily and took him to Khimik Dzerzhinsk. As part of the team, Dzhikia first appeared on the field on July 6, 2014 in a match against Krylya Sovetov, and he scored his first goal for the team on March 18 of the following year - in a game against Tosno.

In 2020, Jikia signed a three-year contract with the Perm club Amkar. Ironically, he scored his winning goal at the Russian Cup against Lokomotiv. In just one year, he has proven himself to be a strong, capable player with powerful potential.

It is not surprising that other clubs began to look at him, in particular, Kazan “Rubin” and “Spartak-Moscow”.

Without thinking twice, he gave his consent to the Muscovites. On December 26, 2020, he made a transfer, the cost of which was estimated at 150 million rubles. In just 8 games with Spartak, he established himself as an excellent defender.

National team career

In November 2020, Georgy was first called by the Russian national team coach Stanislav Cherchesov to the training camp before the matches with the teams of Qatar and Romania. As part of the national team, he played three matches at the Confederations Cup and, together with Alexander Golovin and Alexei Miranchuk, became one of the three most promising Russian football players.

Interestingly, due to its nationality, Jikia constantly receives offers from Georgian clubs. He was even invited to the Georgian national team, but Georgy, with all due respect to his historical homeland, still chose the Russian national team, for which some fans in Georgia branded him a “traitor.” Georgy admitted that he made this choice himself, without even consulting his parents. The main thing, the footballer believes, is that all his closest people supported him.

Alexander Dzhikia

The drawings of Alexander Dzhikia are familiar to everyone who in the late 1980s was old enough to leaf through the press, which in those years unexpectedly discovered “new art.” If the songs of “Nautilus”, “DDT” and “Kino” sounded from everywhere became the soundtrack to the bright and creepy adrenaline era, which went down in history under the name “perestroyka”, then the pictures of the Moscow artist with a Greek name and a Georgian surname became one of the integral components of its visual image. For several years, Dzhikiev’s pictures, imbued with a darkly absurdist humor, the genre of which ranged from a philosophical parable to an anecdote on the topic of the day, appeared on the pages of most more or less progressive publications, becoming in certain circles the same fetish as the poems of Prigov and Kibirov or “Cases” by Daniil Kharms, newly published in those years (later released by Dzhikia in the form of a small-circulation “artist’s book” with his own illustrations). Several years passed, and the public forgot about the artist: the predatory 90s arrived, and post-Soviet people suddenly had no time for contemporary art - for the first time

the plan came up with problems of basic survival. At the same time, Jikiya himself painted without slowing down. The style and theme changed: more and more mythology appeared in the drawings, and the once strict lines became broken, evoking the work of European avant-garde artists of the early 20th century. Jikia's new exhibitions took place mostly in Europe, and at the end of 1995 the artist himself, having received a grant, went overseas. Where, unexpectedly, he stayed for ten years - first working as a carpenter at the famous Guggenheim Museum in New York, and then as a teacher of drawing and design at a prestigious Turkish university.

Actually, we can put an end to this: Dzhikia’s pictures are so self-sufficient that they do not require lengthy explanations. For those who will miss the letters, we offer a little direct speech - fragments from two interviews with the artist, one of which was taken by Anna Chudetskaya for the book “Full Catalog”, the second Alexander gave for the magazine “NASH”.

“...every artist, no matter what or who he paints, still paints himself. Therefore, if I draw a dog, an old woman, a tree, a dead soldier, Stalin, a dirty homeless man without a leg - it’s still me; there is no difference between me and others. Everything in the world is me. And in life I (sometimes) feel that everyone who lives in this world is me. That’s why it can be so hard to live.”

“Kharms gave a poetic definition of a good poem: if you roll up a piece of paper with such a poem and throw it at the window, the glass will break.

A pragmatically good poem (music, picture, etc.) can be determined by the number of perception units. Bach, for example, can be listened to an infinite number of times, Beethoven gets boring faster, and some people are even impossible to listen to the end. I like to look back at some of my pictures, others I wish I had never drawn."

“When I get a good picture, I surprise myself. I don’t know how it turns out. Good luck happens. Bad pictures are secondary, made using stamps. The stamps are in the hand, in the head, in the mind. Perhaps stamps are “style.” I think that all artists at some point fall into this trap. And then they have to move away from their style.

“The arts flow into one another. Literature implies temporary change, the flow of words and concepts. One can assume, however, the presence of a “freeze frame” in literature, or in the verbal depiction of a certain phenomenon, which can also be depicted graphically. Apparently, this borderline moment is called drawing. Detailing the drawing leads to painting and moving away from the story. The return from the drawing to the story is called comics. I prefer drawing."

“...A caricature is a joke; it offers the viewer a single answer to a single question; there is no art in it, because art never gives any answers to any questions.”

“I have been repeatedly offered to work in animation, but this contradicts the principle of my drawing. I draw once, and at that moment I say everything that needs to be said. For comparison, take calligraphy. It is impossible to animate semi-conscious hand movements. I can’t repeat the movement of my hand.”

“...we must try to be open to the world, because the world constantly shows its wonder to people who are inclined to see it. The wonder of the world is by far the most important thing that interests me. Not coincidences, signs, tricks, but a miracle of the first category - the miracle of existence.”

Personal life of George Dzhikia

Despite the Caucasian temperament and cheerful character, the football player has not yet met his lady love or is successfully hiding her name from the public.

Georgiy loves spending time with his parents and younger brother at the family table, enjoying traditional Georgian delicacies made by his mother. Unfortunately, he can rarely afford this - due to a genetic tendency to be overweight, he has to work twice as hard in training.

Jano became a true friend

Where did you get your fast food addiction?

Georgy Dzhikia:

I think every kid growing up loved cheeseburgers and stuff like that.

And now?

Georgy Dzhikia:

No, it's over. Now I don’t allow myself anything unnecessary.

It seems that if the same Jano eats ten cheeseburgers, it will not affect him in any way.

Georgy Dzhikia:

Yes, it’s better not to go to such places with him. He and I order the same food, he eats calmly, and in the morning he wakes up and is minus 300-400 grams.

Does he eat a lot?

Georgy Dzhikia:

Not really. I wouldn't say a lot. It’s just that if we sit somewhere, eat the same thing in the same quantities, he then has a minus of 300-400 grams, and I have a plus. Along the way, his grams are passed on to me (smiles).

You immediately became friends with him at Spartak, right?

Georgy Dzhikia:

He received me very warmly at Spartak. We didn't know each other before this. He and I immediately began to live in the same room during the training camp.

Aren't you boring each other? You guys train together every day and so on?

Georgy Dzhikia:

In our free time, we read books and somehow develop ourselves. At gatherings after dinner, it happens that there are three or four hours of free time, and we don’t intersect with him at all. Some are having a massage, some are having a swimming pool, some are going outside and calling their relatives.

Doesn't anything about him irritate you?

Georgy Dzhikia:

Nothing. He became my true friend. If, for example, at three o’clock in the morning my help is needed, I will be happy to help him.

Are you different from him? Or are there any common features?

Georgy Dzhikia:

I wouldn't say they are different. But he is calmer. Maybe due to the fact that he has a family, children. Unfortunately, I don't have this yet. Although I am closely occupied with this issue now.

How are you doing?

Georgy Dzhikia:

So far a complete failure (smiles).

What is the problem?

Georgy Dzhikia:

Don't know. Maybe in my face. I'm probably not very attractive (smiles).

Is it important for you that your future wife is Georgian? Or does it not matter?

Georgy Dzhikia:

Complex issue. Now I will answer, they will “burn” me and the circle will narrow. It is already located within the third transport ring (laughs). So I won't answer this provocative question.

I am not surprised. Footballers usually avoid such topics.

Georgy Dzhikia:

There are those who like to talk about this. People often ask me: “Why don’t I post photos from my personal life on social networks?” There's only football there. There are things that only apply to me. And I don’t think it’s necessary to show it.

Do I understand correctly that your next goal in your personal life is marriage?

Georgy Dzhikia:

Many people might say that I’m only 23 and it’s too early to think about it. But I do not think so.

Will you consult with anyone on this matter?

Georgy Dzhikia:

Not really. As I decide, so it will be. This is 100 percent.

Do you think your choice will suit your parents?

Georgy Dzhikia:

Will arrange. They have no chance (smiles).

In football terms, how far along are you on this? Did you even leave the group?

Georgy Dzhikia:

The season has just begun (smiles). There's no hurry. We'll play 30 rounds and then we'll see.

Biography

The future defender was born in November 1993, in Moscow.
George's parents fled the war from their native Sukhumi to Moscow. At that time, Georgy’s mother was pregnant, and the future defender was born in Moscow. According to some reports, the parents’ home was destroyed during a military clash in Sukhumi. At the age of 6, Dzhikia joined the Victoria children's team. At the age of 10, he changed from Victoria to the team of the Moscow Lokomotiv branch in Perovo. In short, despite the difficult conditions, the parents tried to support their son’s talent and provide him with the opportunity to play football. The defender signed his first contract at the age of 18 with the Moscow “railroad workers”. He played for two years in the reserve team of Lokomotiv, played 64 matches and scored two accurate shots.
