This 1960 monograph is a significant work of regional Soviet historiography, focusing on the socio-economic and military contributions of the Ochamchire district during the critical years of 1941–1945. Published by Abgiz in Sukhumi, the book offers a detailed reconstruction of the local war effort in the Abkhazian ASSR. A. A. Abshilava utilizes a rich array of archival materials, official documents, and personal memoirs to document the labor mobilization of the peasantry and industrial workers, the activities of local partisan units, and the complex logistics of the evacuation process. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the "Everything for the Front" doctrine, including the arrangement of agricultural production records and the organization of defensive fortifications along the Black Sea coast.
The work is particularly valuable for its focus on the "home front" in the Caucasus, highlighting how regional centers like Ochamchire became vital nodes for rear-area support and medical services. This specific copy is distinguished by an author’s autograph, adding a layer of provenance and making it a unique item for collectors of Caucasian studies and WWII history. As a regional academic publication from the post-war period, issued in a durable hardcover binding, it serves as an essential primary source for understanding the mobilization of ethnic autonomous republics within the Soviet state structure during the conflict. The book remains a rare example of localized Abkhazian scholarship from the Khrushchev Thaw era, reflecting both a dedication to historical preservation and the ideological framework of its time.
