Abkhazia is an autonomous area of Georgia. It declared independence July 23, 1992, which has been recognized only by Russia and a few other states. The lyrics were inspired by an Abkhaz revolutionary song during Georgia’s first period of independence in the early 20th century[1] and were written shortly after Abkhazia’s declaration of independence. The anthem has been in use since its creation and was officially adopted in 2007[1].
