 ABKHAZIA.ORG - Georgia: Contemporary Life and Politics
As to the North West Caucasian Abkhazians, they had been the only people south of the Caucasus to fight Tsarist Russia in its long Caucasian War to subjugate the North Caucasus in the 19th century, and most of the North West Caucasians migrated to Ottoman lands after Russia's victory in 1864.
The legacy of Gamsakhurdia was an economy in steep decline, a war in South Ossetia, and rumblings of discontent among various other minorities, notably the Abkhazians, plus a veritable civil war in Mingrelia.
As the autonomous republics and regions in the North Caucasus were acquiring full republican status in the autumn of 1990, South Ossetia, an autonomous region within Georgia and already the scene of clashes with Zviadist thugs, likewise declared full republican status.

First and perhaps least, it's an adaptation of The Chalk Circle, a Chinese play from around AD 1300 in which a Solomon-like judge places a baby in a chalk-drawn circle and challenges the two women who claim to be its mother to an infant tug-of-war to determine custody.
It's a farcical depiction of government corruption, an inspiring tale of perseverance during wartime, a blistering indictment of war profiteering by the ruling class, a Marxist parable about the right of property and who most deserves it.
The Caucasian Chalk Circle -- Among Bertolt Brecht's more popular plays, The Caucasian Chalk Circle is many things at once.

These questions are the framing tale of the UW School of Drama's production of Bertolt Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle, which runs through next weekend.
The play is about how war and greed separate people from what is truly theirs - from values that they must have in order to survive and avoid another war.

Set in a time of revolutionary war, The Caucasian Chalk Circle uses puppets and performing objects, song and dance, martial arts and acrobatics to tell the parable of a kitchen maid who, after rescuing a royal child from certain death, battles greedy merchants, dangerous mountains, menacing soldiers, forced marriage, and lost love.
Brecht wrote The Caucasian Chalk Circle while in exile in America during the Second World War.

Brecht's retelling of these two tales is set in the long-ago, far-away Caucasus Mountains of war-torn Grusinia.Through the story of a rich ruler, a sympathetic peasant girl, an abandoned child and a wise fool for a judge, the playwright draws a metaphorical circle around a society mis-directed in its priorities.
This epic originally intended as Communist propaganda, has taken on a mythic and moral tome in the post-Cold War, Twenty-first Century.
A theatrical parable inspired by both and ancient Chinese story and the biblical tale of King Solomon settling the dispute of two mothers.

 Welcome to The Church of True Israel Racial Information chapter 1
The monuments along the ancient migrant routes show that the Caucasian of the stone age, like his descendants of today, was a maritime race, the only race that has not halted at the sea.* The monuments generally adhere to the seas or to minor war courses.
Race movement, particularly that of the Caucasian, is determinable by race culture which has everywhere way marked Caucasian migrations; whilst the physical modification of the peoples with whom the White man has come into contact furnishes also satisfactory data.
The "Caucasian race" is in reality constituted of three well-marked divisions of mankind, one of which (the Alpine) is clearly of Asiatic, not European origin.

The Caucasian war (during which Chechnya and Dagestan were included into Russia) was also related to Moscow endeavors to achieve sufficiently reliable communications in Georgia, which is the central link in the South-Caucasian corridor.
From the South would come the first attack against the Soviet territory in South Caucasus and the invasion of the NATO forces would be supported by 6th US Marine Division.
The Russian positions in the regions were additionally aggravated by the decline of Georgia to accede to CIS and to conclude new military agreements with Moscow, in result of which the military bases of the latter no longer had a clear status.

Today, there is a mounting movement in the republic to identify as independent those of the small ethnic groups that were included, in the post-war population censuses, into the larger ethnic groups of the Avars and Darghins.
The Avars make up 28 per cent of the total population and are divided into the Avars proper and 13 smaller ethnic groups with their own languages: the Andiitsy, Archintsy, Bagulaltsy, Bezhitintsy, Botlikhtsy, Genuzhtsy, Godaberintsy, Gunzibtsy, Didoitsy, Karatintsy, Tindintsy, Khvarshintsy and Chamalintsy.
They are especially popular among the Avars, Kumyks and Chechens and form the backbone of the Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of Dagestan (SAMD), the main and most respected organization of the faithful in the republic.

 Audio Bullys: Ego War - PopMatters Music Review
Ego War is all over the place musically: there are the Skinner-esque minimalist hip-hop tracks, thunderous, in your face anthems, and smooth house tracks, but it's the latter style that really shows Audio Bullys' potential, something that you hear instantly on "The Snow".
When Mike Skinner composed the masterful album Original Pirate Material under the moniker The Streets, it was a watershed moment for young, British, Caucasian, hip-hop enthusiasts.
Ego War's extra dash of sonic intensity works so superbly at times, it masks the album's weaknesses well, and becomes the duo's saving grace.

 INTERRACIAL VOICE - Guest Editorial
The treatment of race in the sciences underwent fundamental changes in the years between the eugenic triumph of 1924 and the post-World War II period.
At the same time, they were told that the "purity" of the "white race" was false and that it was nonsensical to describe someone with a small amount of "black" ancestry as "Negro." However, scholars would simply blame "society" for those beliefs and encouraged their students to use those myths as if they were true.
He dismisses the importance of "other races" and views "whites" as a monolithic army against "blacks," from whose ranks some "whites" will gallantly defect and turn "traitor." His views are similar to those of the far Right in that he believes that "race treason" is possible.

The war has also brought about further erosion of Caucasian unity: while, during the first war, Chechens were offered sympathy and compassion in the region, now they are seen as the main culprits of the conflict and a forceful solution to the Chechen problem is more acceptable.
The war is consuming immense financial means, ruining Russia's image on the international arena, causing the degeneration of certain state structures (mainly of the army) and, moreover, it can be used by some political groups to destabilise the country.
President Aslan Maskhadov, unrecognised by Moscow, has, since the beginning of the war, appealed to Moscow on many occasions for negotiations, aware that successful military action against the Russian army is impossible today, and that carrying on the conflict in the context of the international war on terrorism is to the disadvantage of the militants.

 First Chechen War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As the war was widely reported to the Russian public through television and newspaper accounts, it contributed, among the Russian population, to a loss of confidence in the government and, particularly, a steep decline in president Yeltsin's popularity.
The First Chechen War occurred when Russian forces attempted to recapture the breakaway southern republic of Chechnya in a two year period lasting from 1994 to 1996.
Nevertheless, the next year Stalin as a part of his infamous policies deported more than 1 million Chechens, Ingushes, and other North Caucasian peoples to Siberia and Central Asia on the pretext that they had collaborated with the Nazis.

When war was declared in November 1856, the Persian Government had already agreed to the British conditions in principle, except the demand for the dismissal of the Persian Prime Minister.
It was upon this volatile and unsatisfactory backdrop that a cooling of relations between the two Empires at the end of the Napoleonic Wars provoked a bloody and damaging conflict that ultimately settled nothing.
