The attitude of one more displaced person from Sukhumi
to all this issues seamed rather interesting to us. He worked in
law enforcement bodies for years before the war and during it.
Especially interesting is his non-aggressive position with respect
to Abkhazians at whose direct or indirect reason he lost his wife
and minor child. ”I felt aggression at the beginning, I went to
Kharkov after war to work there. I started to work at the plant.

peaceful population at the risk of their own lives. The behavior
of Abkhazians of the village Akhalisopeli is its example, who
“hided” Georgians of their village. There were some rather disgusting
facts in my native village Marani, after which the remaining
population left the village and found shelter in the forest
