Indifference is the only feeling that showman does not cause anyone.Childhood and youth
Otar Shalvovich Kusanashvili was born in the old Georgian Kutaisi in a large family. Father Shalva Kusnashvili, tractor driver by profession, and Nelly Gogochi's mother, who worked as Castellar, brought up five children. The father of the future journalist belonged to the small mining nationality of the Kistans. This ethnic group was related to Muslim religion.
Journalism began to attract Otara in secondary school classes. Sociable, emotional and erudite Kusnashvili did not see himself in any other profession. It seems that communication with the outside world and the desire to speak out for any reason, regardless of whether it is like that or not, it was in his blood.
The pen was held at the local "Kutais truth". The schoolboy read a lot, including the authoritative "literary newspaper." And not just read, but wrote to the famous authors of the publication, such as Stanislav Seedadin and Lev Anninsky.
One day, Anninsky, explicitly provoked by the amazing sincerity, bordering the outrageousness of the Georgian young man who wrote a journalist that "Chingiz Aitmatov is a bad writer! You will read at least Nodar Dumbadze. Our writer will be even! ", I decided to answer Kusnashvili. Later, Otar said that when he received an answer from the metropolitan celebrity, from the oversupply of feelings kissed the letter and cried.
After graduating from School Otar Kusnashvili entered the University of Tbilisi. Chose, of course, the faculty of journalism. Soon, the young man was expelled, as the journalist claims, for not worthy of Georgian behavior and too long.
The guy was called in the army. After serving, Otar decided not to exchange on trifles and went to conquer Moscow. Help Kusnashvili at the first stage provided a journalist Yuri Schobochechin, with whom the guy was rewritten from the young age.

Of the 35 editors, to which Otar addressed, the answer was obtained only from one.
Journalism and television
The creative biography of Otar Kushanashvili began in the newspaper "New Look", which was founded by Evgeny Dodol. The persistent Georgian guy was credited to the staff to the post of correspondent.

In his youth, Otar was not sitting in place: he vigorously made his way everywhere, perfectly realizing that the water was not flowing under the lying stone.
