The country has lost territory, is facing such a serious and meaningful by the fact that she should carefully study and understand all the reasons which led to such a plight. In Georgia, it ought to do another one and a half ten years ago, and then, in the case of extracting the right lessons, we could avoid the current tragedy. Alas, it happened anyway. August, in the light of developments in the Georgian conflict, primarily associated with last year's war in South Ossetia. But this month has started and the other war – in Abkhazia. Every year, on August 14, on both sides once again recall the events of 17 years ago.
Visit of memorable places in Tbilisi, is limited mainly to Memorial of the fallen in the Abkhaz war. Relatives and friends of fallen soldiers, the authorities, refugees, laying flowers at the marble slabs mounted on Heroes' Square. The square itself was named in the late 40s after other characters – the Great Patriotic War. Then it seemed that the new wars after the victorious march to Berlin will never be. In late 1988, when the war in Karabakh have already begun, and before that neshutochnye unrest took place in Kazakhstan, Georgia, visited the Secretary of the CPSU, Alexander Yakovlev, a leading ideologue known as "perestroika". At a public meeting, he expressed concern about the processes in the various republics and expressed concern that the this development can be fraught with the disintegration of the Union. And then thanked the people of Georgia and for the fact that there continues a quiet life, no dramatic events of that time were no signs. Alexander N., however, lived until 2005, and witnessed all the upheavals that have taken place in Georgia.
