Abstract: This article re-evaluates Abkhazia''''s frozen conflict in light of the region''''s shared history with the Soviet Union. The article''''s primary purpose is to re-examine the role of politicized identities in the emergence and maintenance of frozen conflicts. Since macro perspectives on the frozen conflicts in the former Soviet space might not be entirely relevant to understanding such a mechanism, Abkhazia''''s case study provides us the opportunity to substantiate the post-imperial legacy''''s intricacies. To achieve that, the region''''s Soviet history, intrinsically linked to Soviet Union''''s political configuration, has been scrutinized. The impact of the Soviet policies on Abkhazia''''s engineering for political purposes is tackled in conjunction with the region''''s ethnic identity.

Key words: frozen conflicts, Abkhazia, nationalism, identities, the Soviet Union.
