I've been to Abkhazia twice,just a couple of years after the war (I was a child and was there for a tourist reason,on holidays)
what a bombed paradise! It was incredibly beautiful in tourist "save" places there (Abkhazia was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to) but I'll never forget my impressions from a non-tourist Abkhazia, destroyed buildings and people were still living in those buildings!
Also, I have a couple of Abkhazian friends living here in Poland, one of them saw the death of his own father (who was killed by Georgians) when he was a little boy. It's even terrible to imagine such things!
But would definitely recommend to visit Abkhazia, especially its' caves and tourist places!
After Abkhazia we used to visit Crimea on holidays,by the way. Also an amazing nature! I remember that Crimeans that we met asked us to call them Russians and not Ukrainians even that time (and it sounded weird for me). And then there was this annexation.. controversial choice. But I understand every side: Crimeans, Ukrainians, Russians who supported it and those Russians who are against it.
Sometimes it's difficult to say who's right or wrong in such conflicts/wars..every side has it's own truth.
Now scary things happen in Kazakhstan..and it's not yet the end in Bielarus, I'm afraid.
