I'm very sorry for the mapper's horse who had to find out about this 🐴.
Border crossing MAPP "Adler/Psou" :
🇷🇺 Sirius, Krasnodai Krai, 🇷🇺 Russian Federation : "Horses not allowed"
🇷🇺 Giachrypsh, Russian-occupied Abkhazia, 🇬🇪 Georgia : "Horses allowed"Why do you insist on border checks after illegally annexing and occupying foreign territory anyway 🤔 ? And why exactly are horses not allowed ?

Caucase ajouté à l'annuaire RSS 🇫🇷
Caucasus added to the RSS directory 🇬🇧The Georgia tag has a characteristic: an ambiguous word, relating to a geographical close topic, and few websites display it as a mashup of Caucasus country, U.S. state and person.

many/ most Georgians despise Russian influence on #Georgia, but there's corrupt politicians and disinfo brainwashed morons as well
see also: #Hungary, #Slovakia, etc
and Georgia isn't a distraction from #Ukraine, it's the original template
Georgia was vivisected by #Russia in 2008: #Abkhazia, #SouthOssetia peeled off
the world shrugged
again shrugs
so the full invasion in 2022
oppose Russia forcefully, or it keeps invading

#Russia megalomaniac style of doing politics is leading to a gradual loss of influence in #Abkhazia. Moscow has gone so far as to impose sanctions (!) on specific Abkhazian politicians and journalists, whom it accuses of ‘Russophobia’.
The Great fucking Strategist® Putin guided by his Genius Geopolitical and Spiritual Guides® such as Dugin and Surkov gradually dismantle Russia’s influence in all region…

Deputy Vakhtang Golandzia died from wounds sustained in a shooting at the parliament building, the press office of acting President Badra Gunba reported. Another parliamentarian was injured in the shoulder.
The Abkhazian state news agency Apsnypress reported that the Ministry of Internal Affairs identified another parliamentarian, Adgur Kharazia, as a suspect in the shooting and that he fled the scene. The report provided no indications of a motive.

Fun fact - #Bitcoin mining in the self-proclaimed republic of #Abkhazia did not stop in spite of energy crisis where electricity is available for less than 5 hours per day.
The crisis is caused by low water levels in Abkhazia’s only hydro plant… and Bitcoin mining, which has increased its electricity usage by 50% since it was officially allowed.
Another fun fact is that that the direct cause of the crisis was #Russia ceasing to supply electricity to Abkhazia on a discount “humanitarian” tariff to punish it for refusal to allow selling land to Russians. Of course, Russians must have known about the Bitcoin mining industry so effectively Russian budget has for a few years subsidised the mining operations with its discounted energy prices 🤦

Serious electricity supply problems in #Abkhazia as #Russia introduced market-based rates for electricity exports after the Abkhazian parliament rejected a deal allowing Russian investors to buy up land in the ‘republic’. Previously, Russia had supplied electricity at a subsidised rate as part of ‘humanitarian aid’.[^1]
That was a situation well known from Ukraine before 2014 when the switch to commercial gas prices was a bogeyman put forward for Kyiv’s decisions that Moscow did not like and resulted in the creation of a gigantic debt, which Russia in turn used to show how ‘Ukraine steals gas’.
The situation in Abkhazia is not promising because the main source of electricity is the Enguri hydroelectric power station[^2] which is in a poor state of repair despite numerous emergency grants from European institutions in the 2000s.
It is interesting to note that, despite all these problems, subsidised energy prices have attracted to Abkhazia… Bitcoin miners, which is perhaps the most absurd way to ‘burn through’ scarce energy.

You didn’t have to wait too long for #Russia to unroll a hate campaign against #Abkhazia for refusal to sign a “investment protection agreement” with Moscow.
Oleg Tsaryev writes that “Russia helped Akbhazia gain independence, Russia recognized its independence, Russia helped it financially but in return it got NOTHING”.
Wait, what? So far the official narrative was that Russia never participated directly in the war, it merely offered a peacekeeping mission! But the truth, of course, is that Russia helped start the war in Abkhazia only to then put it out… and place its troops there. In 1992 an armed brigade of “volunteers” traveled from Russian North Caucasus to Abkhazia on trucks, unbothered on any of numerous police checkpoints - and state border - and there was even a regular military helicopter cruises from Russia into Abkhazia to speed up deliveries.
It’s not true that Russia “got nothing” - it got 30 years of leverage on #Georgia, blocking its accession to #NATO and EU, it got a military base in Gudauta, it got a puppet country where Russian business was buying attractive buildings dirt cheap and finally it got a military corridor for invasion on Georgia in 2008. The fun fact is that Russian business was complaining about unclear legal status of their investment - because if you invest in a legal black hole, it’s quite stupid to expect legal protection. The “investment protection agreement” was therefore a practical incorporation of Abkhazia into Russia’s legal space and would grant Russia all benefits of annexation without any responsibilities of formal annexation. Which is why Abkhazian side disagreed, feeling Moscow’s weakness.
P.S. interestingly Tsaryev writes about Abkhazia’s “parliament” and “president” in scare quotes, obviously questioning their legitimacy - which is indeed dubious from international point of view - but it was officially recognised by Russia :)

The parliament in the Russian-backed breakaway Georgian region of #Abkhazia on Tuesday
voted against ratifying an investment agreement with Moscowwhich sparked protests last month leading to the removal of the region's self-styled president.
Opposition leaders in Abkhazia had strongly opposed the agreement
over fears it would clear the way for wealthy Russian individuals and businesses to buy up property in the lush Black Sea region, pricing out locals.
