A Desolate Wonder
This deserted building found in the countryside of Republic of Abkhazia is a monument to tragedy. In the 1990s, the building was a key part of the Georgian Genocide, which included forced expulsion and massacre of more than 250,000 Georgian citizens that were ethnically cleansed from the country. It is heartbreaking to see a place that seems so peaceful and beautiful could have been the site of such a heartbreaking tragedy.
