Grigory Leps:

Grigory Leps was born Grigory Lepsveridze in the city of Sochi, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union in an ethnically Georgian family. He finished music school in the class of percussion instrument. After the army he started to play and sing in a few rock bands, and worked as a singer in restaurants.

On 18 March 2022, Leps sang at Vladimir Putin's Moscow rally celebrating the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation from Ukraine and justifying the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Presidential Administration of Russia put him on the list of singers who were recommended to be invited to state-sponsored events.

On 22 February 2023, Leps sang at Vladimir Putin's 2023 Moscow rally.

In June 2023, Leps' concert in the Almaty Region of Kazakhstan was canceled following pressure from the Kazakh public and activists over his support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In 2023, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan canceled a music festival where pro-Kremlin Russian singers, including Leps, were scheduled to perform.

Rodina (Russian):

Can be somewhat well translated to motherland. But it is not literally mother nor land.
“Rod” is more closely related as kinship and to be born than to the word mother.
So maybe a better translation is “The place where my kin are from.”
