Sukhum Region of the Republic of Abkhazia: History and Modernity

Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences

Москва, 2021, 312 p.

The monograph is an attempt to write a ‘local history’, which thoroughly follows the past and present of a relatively small region during the historical processes of Antiquity, Middle Ages, Modern Age and Modernity. The central position of the region in the territory of Abkhazia makes it important; however, most of the tourists associate this region with the city of Sukhum, which is not really included in its borders. Nonetheless, a number of historical sites and settlements, which are important for the history of Abkhazia and the whole Western Caucasus, are located in the territory of the Sukhum region.
