A year later, the performer visited the studio of Tigran Keosayan's TV show "International Sawmill", in which he presented two of his books to the TV presenter. It turned out that Abraham had long been fond of literature, and the artist's dream to publish his works came true.

In 2006, an event occurred that shocked the entire country. An attempt was made on Abraham. Having received 3 wounds from unknown persons who fired at the artist with a Kalashnikov machine gun, Russo himself managed to get to the hospital. The singer lost a lot of blood, but survived.

For two days they mocked Russo, after which they threw him to the side of the highway. On the road, the singer was picked up by an unknown driver and taken to the hospital.

Rousseau himself called the reason for the incidents financial issues that arose between him and the sponsor. The investigation did not rule out the enmity of the producers. Joseph Prigogine was repeatedly summoned for interrogation. Not finding the culprit, the case was closed. Abraham was never interested in the progress of the investigation. In his opinion, it is necessary to go forward and forgive enemies without dwelling on failures.

Later, the artist admitted that he got excited about accusing his producer of a crime. Rousseau was wise enough to apologize to Prigozhin.
