This picture was taken in 1991 in a remote village of Abkhazia, the brake-away province of the Georgia (ex Autonomous Republic of the Soviet Union). It depicts a school in a relatively quiet period, only two weeks after the first secession war. The picture of Lenin is still hanging, two years after the soviet communist regime collapsed. Only few months after this picture was taken, the second secession war made fugitives of all the children depicted here.
