Памяти Сарии Лакоба

Saria Lakoba, a paragon of Abkhaz femininity and self-sacrifice, the wife of the leader of Soviet Abkhazia, would have turned 120 on May 16. However, she was not destined to live past 35. Saria Lakoba's life is well known in Abkhazia, and it is no small feat that her personality has been celebrated and exalted. To commemorate the anniversary, an exhibition and subsequent evening were held in Sukhum at the Abkhaz Drama Theater, organized jointly by the Ministry of Culture and the Nestor Lakoba Historical and Memorial Museum. The event was attended by Prime Minister Alexander Ankvab, members of the government, and public and political figures. Report by Asida Malia.
