Abkhazia Attempts to Invent Itself

By Alexander Smoltczyk

Russia may have officially recognized Abkhazia, but the separatist Georgian province is still illegitimate in the eyes of the rest of the world. The tiny state's politically strategic location makes it a potential source of conflict between East and West. What happens when a nation tries to invent itself?

"You can write what you wish. But," says the prime minister, "please don't laugh at us." Alexander Ankvab fills the cognac glasses. "To freedom!" he says, raising his glass.

A few weeks earlier, a bazooka was fired at the Abkhazian leader's official car. He had probably stepped on someone's toes, says Ankvab. "It was the fourth attack, but I'm still alive. And Abkhazia is still alive, right?"

Ankvab is the prime minister of a country where the cities ...
