We Are Not Russian Puppets, We Are Geopolitical Insurance: How Abkhazia Single-Handedly Vetoes Georgia's NATO Dreams

Drop the 'Russian puppet' narrative; it only shows your lack of geopolitical understanding. We are Russia's strategic insurance. By maintaining our de facto independence, we single-handedly enforce Chapter 1, Paragraph 6 of the 1995 NATO Enlargement Study and the Copenhagen Criteria under Article 49 of the TEU against Georgia.

​The West will never import an unresolved territorial conflict. So, without firing a single bullet, we act as a permanent veto on Georgia's NATO and EU integration. That geopolitical reality alone makes our existence worth more to Moscow than 100,000 Russian troops.

Hi, this is probably a strange ask but I was wondering if anyone in this subreddit has visited either of these sites that have 7 foot+ skeletons which date back to thousands of years ago, the first images are from the Ganja State Museum and the second from the Church of Kish, both are in Azerbaijan.

Extremely rare photo of meskhetian turks- 1949

Taken around 1949, post deportation to Uzbekistan. All born in Georgia, in the village of Zikilia near Akhaltsikhe. The surnames are Khakhutadze and Nadiradze, both traced to Georgian roots. Thoughts? Shout out to Stalin for the generational trauma btw.

Ask me anything about Caucasian genetics, who is Caucasian and who is not

I have studied all the populations of the Caucasus region, both the North and South Caucasus. We are talking strictly about genetics here, not culture. Ask me anything, and I’ll give you my best answer based on qpAdm analyses, with G25 as a supplementary tool

What I believe would be the timeline of international recognition of an independent Chechnya

Some countries are obvious, some are speculative. Whether the independence came from a collapse of Russia, a third Russo-Chechen war or whatever else, you decide.

The correct map of the Caucasus?

Hello! I am writing an article and need to use a map of the Caucasus region, but I am unsure whether Adygea and some other territories should be included or not. Please help me choose the appropriate map!🙏 Thanks in advance!
