Another Side of August
For many years, August has been my blessed month - summer serenity of a resort illuminated as a carnival, night bathing under twinkling Milky Way in the black sky, the fullness of communication and inclusions of new faces in a friendly whirlwind, hiking, crack of cicadas, reminiscent of immortality, and sultry afternoons, replacing each other with the ardor of a young lover.

Anarchy - the mother of order?
It was nice to read in the newspaper "Moskovsky Komsomolets" the day after our presidential elections in August 2011: "Abkhazia, which Russia recognized in 2008, is more democratic than Russia." Our achievements in the electoral process were recognized by international observers who were pleasantly surprised at a competence of observers of all presidential candidates present at polls on the day of elections, and a clearly set work of electoral commissions.

“Heroic deeds” on a summer morning
These people do not care a straw that the trees had been planted in Lakoba’s time, theу do not care about the history and ecology of their native country either. But they do not think either that this is the most visiting place of the Abkhaz capital, and a public interest is just an empty sound for them.

A modern Formula for Power
At a recent press conference, the president said he was going to discuss with the Parliament, heads of administrations, and the society how it is best to use the money for the further development of the country. I was mostly impressed by the three-hour press conference, because just this approach lies in the basis of the modern formula of power.

Do Aliens Live Among Us?
A round table in the Public Chamber, on town planning issues, has led to an unexpected result –those who were at the discussion were convinced that aliens live among us.

D & G in the lawn
In a few months it will be a year since the new president has assumed his duties. Many who voted for him were sure that he put things in order with a firm hand, and the curve of crime steadily crawled down. So far, only our hopes are crawling down for restoring order.

Not a stir, but stability
Heavy domestic political life, apparently, has aaccustomed us to adrenalin euphoria - we always strive for new acute events. The opportunity daily to comment current situation in the Internet, albeit under a pseudonym, has created a new playing interest for many - so nice to cut down these damned politicians at least virtually, let them know us!

Humiliation of dirt
Who will believe today that in the early 50s Sukhum was declared the cleanest city in the Soviet Union? Almost no one remembers that the clock tower of the Sukhum City Hall - is a reward to a clean capital at that time.

Peacemaking Nostalgia for the Sun.
The publication of almanac: “South Caucasus” in which representatives of all national literatures of our region are published has already achieved interesting results. At the presentation of the second edition a famous Georgian writer, Dato Turashvili said that he recognized the independence of Abkhazia. In a day at the same presentation in Stepanakert the writer Beso Khvedelidze no less popular, in front of the TV cameras apologized for those Georgians which had lived in Abkhazia and did not stand with arms beside Abkhazians in 14 August 1992 when the Georgian troops entered our small country.

Why don’t the authorities trust our common sense?
If the main reason lies in the building SOI is located in, and it is decided to give to a judiciary why not to say this openly?

Challenge to all government’s branches
A possibility of obtaining a loan and a necessity to return it, is the basis of functioning of a financial system. How can it work if the government is ashamed to ask the debtor to repay money? What kind of financial discipline, we can talk about, if a person takes a loan with an alleged purpose for business development, and buys a foreign car or furniture - guys, well, we live in the XXI century, let us not making fun of each other!

Melancholy for a Harmonic Landscape
Undoubtedly, a major role in attracting tourists is an excellent service and inexpensive prices, but many people want to relax in a well-groomed landscape, in which organically were built up interestingly designed buildings. The area should have its own special and unique flavor.

The Initiative Is Not Punishable!
Last years traveling in Abkhazia I noticed with pleasure that many people try to decorate their yard, lawn in front of the shop, sometimes even a corner, which seems is not theirs at all. Of course, the country is not yet fully cared of, not speaking about destroyed buildings; the quantity of them is not small yet. But a keen eye is able to seize the will of common people to make the country attractive.

Love to Business is not a Luxury
In a developed state entrepreneurs create a lion’s share of working places - while we do not fully realize this and at the state’s level too, we will not go far.

Abkhazian April of Mauricia Jenkins
April in Abkhazia is a month of the most gentle greens and intense odors: wisteria is blooming, fragrans lour, jasmine, lilac, acacia, azaleas and other favorites of the gods. Choosing April for a visit to Abkhazia, Maurizia Jenkins was fully right - for an Italian lady, who does not imagine her life without flowers, one could not choose more fortunate time.

She will appear in the evening ...
For more than two millennia Sukhum’s appearance repeatedly changed - starting from lying on the seabed and still unknown to us Dioscuria till drowning in green resort town, which it became in the last decades of the Soviet empire.

A Small Boat by the Name of Abkhazia
In such difficult situations, a dialogue between the government and people should be open and sincere in helping ordinary people understand what is really happening. If we get only sparse information reports and an abundance of alarming rumors, we do create such a force field of mutual misunderstanding that you will wish it had never happened.

Public Chamber against Outrage on the Roads
On April 12 Public Chamber held parliamentary hearings on road traffic accidents. The Chamber has long been preparing for this event, but a terrible accident of the last two weeks ago, when six people died at once at two cars colliding in Gudauta area, was the last straw.

Archaeology of Love
The head of the NGO "National Resources" Tsiza Gumba for several years has been engaged with a strange business for our time – she grubs out our recent past and revives names.

Khajimba’s Star Hasn’t Lit
For nearly ten years Khajimba assaulted the top of executive power, he was a prime minister and vice-president, but he has not reached his goal. Now he made an attempt to take revenge in the legislature, but failed again - the new Speaker of the Abkhazian Parliament became Valery Bganba clearly yielding Khajimba in political reputation and brightness of his service record.
