The event of mounting the cross over Bagrati Catheral represents the incompatible and impossible stat. President Saakashvili himself mounts the cross over Bagrati Cathedral. At that moment highest political and highest religious symbols dissolved into each other, the president became the highest religious authority and the cross became the highest political symbol. So that seemingly democratic system we lived in, all of a sudden moved thousand years back to the Byzantine era, where political and religious power was the same. This confusion of sighns is almost uniquely the character of our times. This kind of hybrid events, hybrid beings populated our reality.
