After watching the movie, I didn't understand a lot of things, so I went to the Internet to search for the background of this story, share it here, and tell the truth for myself.


On the world map published in China, Abkhazia is a province of Georgia, which is not unrelated to Russia (and the former Soviet Union), and in fact the relationship between the three (for the time being) is very complicated, the following It is the information on the Internet. I simply divide it into three stages: The

first stage (together with the Soviet Union): From the
16th to the 18th century, Georgia was the object of contention between Iran and the Ottoman Empire.
In the 18th century, it turned to Russia, an emerging power. From 1801 to 1864, the principalities of Georgia were successively merged into the Russian Empire and changed to Tiflis and Kutaisi Provinces.
In 1917 the Russian Revolution declared Georgia's independence.
In 1918 German, Ottoman and British troops invaded Georgia.
On February 25, 1921, the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic was established, and in December of the same year, the Abkhaz Soviet Socialist Republic joined Georgia.
On March 12, 1922, Georgia joined the Transcaucasian Soviet Socialist Federal Republic, and in December of the same year joined the Soviet Union as a member of that federation.
On December 5, 1936, the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic became one of the Soviet republics.

The second stage (independent wars broke out one after another): (This is also the background time of the film)
In 1989, the people's demonstrations demanded independence, which was suppressed by the Soviet Defense Minister Marshal Yazov personally.
In 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, Georgia was truly independent. The first president, the street politician Gamsa Khurdia, was quickly overthrown by a coup and entered a civil war. Later, the reclusive former Soviet foreign minister Shevardnadze was invited to come out. National Reconciliation.
Note: The United States and Europe promoted the "Rose Revolution", supported mass demonstrations in Georgia, overthrew Shevardnadze and established a pro-Western government. Then deployed to join NATO, forming a semi-encirclement of Russia. Russia was dissatisfied with this, and behind the scenes supported Georgia's ethnic divisions, such as South Ossetia (another part of Georgia) and Abkhazia. Georgia is also backed by the United States and is an enemy of Russia everywhere.
In 1992, the separatists in Abkhazia rebelled against the Georgian central government and declared its independence.
Rebels took control of Abkhazia in 1993.
An independent sovereign republic was proclaimed in 1994, but was opposed by Russia and Georgia.
Note: Before the rebellion, Georgians accounted for nearly half of the population in Abkhazia, while Abkhazians accounted for less than 1/5, and the rest were Armenians and Russians. Most Georgians and some Russians fled to other parts of Georgia in 1993.

The third stage (new unrest caused by the war in South Ossetia):
On August 7, 2008, the Georgian army attacked the autonomous region of South Ossetia adjacent to Russia, trying to bring the area back under the jurisdiction of its government forces. The South Ossetia War broke out.
Since August 8, 2008, a war broke out between Georgia and Russia for control of South Ossetia.
On August 28, 2008, Russia announced the recognition of the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. In response, Georgia decided to cut diplomatic relations with Russia the next day.
In 2013, Russia opened free trade to South Ossetia and Abkhazia. In the same year, Putin congratulated the two presidents on the fifth anniversary of the recognition of independence by the international community, and promised to continue to help in the future.
On November 24, 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Abkhaz leader Hadrimba signed a "Russian-Arab Alliance and Strategic Partnership Treaty" in Sochi. Under the treaty, the two countries will establish a unified force led by a Russian commander. Putin also said that Russia's aid to Abkhazia would be doubled next year.
On March 20, 2015, Putin signed a 25-year treaty with South Ossetian President Leoniod Tibinov in Moscow, stipulating that the South Ossetian army, intelligence agencies, law enforcement agencies, etc. merge with Russia. It will establish a joint defense and security zone with South Ossetia, and open border checkpoints, officially giving Russia a name to provide security and defense assistance to South Ossetia, including the protection of its borders.
On March 28, 2015, Georgia joined the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
Note: The U.S. and NATO have consistently viewed Russia’s actions as a violation of Georgia’s sovereignty throughout the process, and have frequently condemned them.
