"Mandarin-2026": winter festival opens in Sukhum
From January 6th to 10th, guests and residents of Abkhazia can enjoy culinary delights, folk festivals, and a rich cultural program.
Dear friends, dear brothers and sisters!
We are seeing off 2025!
For all of us, it marked a great date - the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
We remembered the heroism of our fathers and grandfathers, which taught us the most important thing: when people are united, they are invincible.
This was the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland. Our thoughts and hearts were with those who today, with weapons in their hands, defend our right to a future, our right to be ourselves.
We helped our soldiers, and with our labor, we contributed to our common Victory.
The past year was a time of new achievements for our united team in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, St. Petersburg, and Abkhazia.
The “Abaza” anniversary festival attracted a record number of participants and guests, becoming a true celebration of national unity.
Our "Russian World" festival brought together the country's largest museums and cultural centers, and we were supported by leading universities and the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Every month was filled with vibrant cultural events, scientific conferences, and sporting competitions.
With our support, unique books and films were released. We implemented dozens of humanitarian and social projects.
Everything we did was guided by one important goal: to engage as many people as possible in self-improvement and in our common cause of social development and cultural preservation.
Our most important task was and remains the education and development of new generations, strengthening traditions and family values.
A human being is always in the limelight of "Alashara," the World Abaza Congress, and the Grand Canyon development area.
Each of our projects, even the smallest one, is designed to change people for the better and inspire them to care for the world around them.
Dear friends!
Today, more than ever, we are united in our thoughts and concerns for our Motherland. We believe in Victory and the well-being of our country. The future of each of us depends on it.
It is no coincidence that the President has declared next year the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia. All these years, we have worked to show that a united nation is capable of any accomplishment.
Unity is what makes us strong. It is what helped our fathers and grandfathers endure through the most difficult times. It is what will help us build, create, preserve peace, and develop our Fatherland.
We enter the New Year with a sense of confidence in our abilities, ready to reach new heights.
Let your homes will always be warm, and may those you love be by your side. May 2026 bring good health, peace, harmony, and prosperity to every family.
Happy New Year! Happy new bright beginning!
WAC held the final lecture on the "Ирӡтәым" project in 2025.
The WAC team, together with Inna Dzhugeliia, a lecturer in the Abkhaz Language Department at Abkhazian State University, held an educational lecture as part of the "Ирӡтәым" project.
The event took place at the N.A. Lakoba Gudauta Secondary School No. 1. The lecture was moderated by Inga Shamba, a senior researcher in the Ethnology Department of the Abkhazian State Museum.
The subject of the meeting was "Abkhazian Material Culture." Inga Shamba introduced the students to elements of national life, giving a detailed description of the history of the distinctive objects used in Abkhazian traditional culture.
To make the presentation more visual, the lecturer brought actual museum exhibits. The students had a unique opportunity not only to listen to a story but also to personally touch antique objects, which significantly increased their interest in the topic.
The meeting was held in the form of an active dialogue: students asked many questions and actively participated in the discussion.
Ekzekov Foundation, Movement of the First of the DPR, and “United Russia” signed a cooperation agreement.
A trilateral cooperation agreement was signed in Donetsk between the Ekzekov Foundation, the Regional Council of “United Russia” Party Supporters, and the Regional Branch of the Movement of the First of the DPR, headed by Akhra Avidzba, commander of the legendary international brigade "Pyatnashka."
"I was happy to meet so many young, enthusiastic people who sincerely want to develop their own land and help the country. We are always ready to support such initiatives. We will work together," noted Mussa Ekzekov.
One of the first joint projects will be organizing a trip for children from the Donetsk People's Republic to St. Petersburg. Over 300 children, in several groups, will spend their vacation in Russia's northern capital. An intense program will be prepared for them: educational classes, tours, cultural and sporting events, and meetings with peers.
Mussa Ekzekov emphasized that the agreement will mark the beginning of a huge, systematic program: "Our goal is to extend a helping hand, support the children, and allow them to see and feel our shared attention and care. I am confident that the trip turned into a vivid and memorable event for them."
After signing the agreement, Mussa Ekzekov and Akhra Avidzba took part in the all-Russian "Wish Tree" campaign and visited Metropolitan Vladimir of Donetsk and Mariupol, presenting His Grace an icon of the Holy Prophet Elijah, considered the patron saint of the Russian Airborne Forces and Special Forces.
The icon is going to be kept in the cathedral to assist all the soldiers liberating the Donetsk lands.
