Battle Path
Fight for the Klukhor Pass
In August 1942, the 121st Mountain Rifle Regiment with the 1st Division of the 256th Artillery Regiment , subordinated directly to the Commander of the 46th Army , was transferred to the Sukhumi area and on 27.08. 1942 for the first time joined the battle with the 1st Mountain Jäger Division "Edelweiss" of the 49th Mountain Rifle Corps of the 17th German Army on the Klukhor Pass in the area of the village of Gvandri.
They were transferred from Batumi to Sukhumi by rail and sea. The gunners were the first to unload. Having disassembled the mountain cannons and loaded them with horses, they immediately advanced to the mountains, to the Klukhor pass . They made a heavy 75-kilometer march along a mountain road previously prepared by Soviet sappers for an explosion. In some places, the road (path) narrowed to 1 meter, meandering over deep gorges with sheer walls. For this reason, the division was forced to move in an extended chain and entered the battle in parts, as the artillery batteries approached their destination, to their battle formations.
Artillerymen of the 1st division of the 256th artillery regiment from positions near the village of Gvandry supported the infantrymen of the 121st gps with their fire.
On the morning of August 21, the advanced company of the 121st Mountain Rifle Regiment, under the command of Senior Lieutenant I.I. Tabakin, attacked the enemy and destroyed up to two companies of the Nazis breaking through. Fierce battles for the Klukhor pass continued until mid-October 1942. In the second half of September, the mountains became sharply colder, heavy snowfall began, which closed the passes. The fighting in the area was discontinued.
On December 13, 1942, the 121st Mountain Rifle Regiment was awarded the Order of the Red Banner . In this battle, the commander of the 121st SSG Major Arshava I.I. was killed (awarded the Order of Lenin ).

Database Creation

After the operation of Russian and Abkhaz forces in the Kodori Gorge (on the territory of the so-called “ Upper Abkhazia ”) and the recognition of the self-proclaimed Republic of Abkhazia by Russia [2] , it was decided to create a permanent Russian military base.
The base is subordinate to the command of the Southern Military District of the Russian Federation .
Ground

In addition, military-administrative and medical facilities (sanatoriums and rest homes) will be located in Sukhum , Gagra , Gudauta , New Athos , Escher and other settlements of Abkhazia (though there are disagreements about the operation of medical facilities between Russia and Abkhazia - how, for example, with the closure of the reconstruction of the sanatorium "Sukhum" [5] [6] ). All objects are supposed to be used jointly by the Armed Forces of Russia and the Armed Forces of Abkhazia in connection with which payment of the rental base is not expected. The period of operation of the base is 49 years, with the possibility of automatic renewal for subsequent 15-year periods. For combat training, the military training grounds of Gudauta and Nagualou in Abkhazia, as well as Molkin in the Krasnodar Territory of Russia [7] are used .
