Sokhumi Restricts Inheritance for Those Who Aided, Fought with Tbilisi during War
According
to the local news agency Apsnypress, the law bars 'foreign nationals, stateless persons, and their family members' from inheriting property if they are considered to have supported Georgian armed formations or aided what the legislation describes as the 'occupation regime of the State Council of Georgia,' including in the 1992-1993 war.
The 1992–1993 war in Abkhazia was fought between Georgian government forces and Abkhaz separatists, who were backed by Russian troops and North Caucasus militants. Georgia lost control of the region following the fall of Sokhumi to separatist forces on September 27, 1993.

For over eight years, OC Media has worked with fearless journalists from Azerbaijan — some of whom now face decades behind bars — to bring you the stories the regime is afraid will get out. Help us fuel Aliyev's fears — become an OC Media member today Become a member Authorities in North Ossetia have imposed strict security measures in response to what they describe as 'information about a planned assassination attempt on members of the Russian armed forces and their relatives' by Ukrainian intelligence services in Vladikavkaz, according to a statement from the regional government. All public events have been suspended, filming of military facilities has been banned, and checks on transit vehicles and private cars have been intensified, including personal searches of drivers. Residents of Vladikavkaz have been officially urged to avoid crowded areas due to 'credible intelligence about the threat of drone attacks'. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also warned citizens of potential criminal liability for participating in unauthorised public gatherings. In an official statement, the ministry said that 'law enforcement agencies will immediately suppress attempts to hold unauthorised public events as well as any provocative actions by participants'. A local blogger from Vladikavkaz, Alik Pukhaev, reported that a local police officer came to his home and made him sign a warning about participating in unauthorised protests. The officer also asked whether the blogger had any information about planned rallies — a sign that local authorities are actively monitoring civic activity. In North Ossetia, police are pressuring bloggers and activists over rumors of a potential protest. Officers from the Center for Combating Extremism have been making preventive visits to bloggers, public figures, and activists across the republic. The trigger? Rumors circulating… — Alik Puhati (@rajdianos) July 22, 2025 Due to the ongoing threat posed by drones, the region has also repeatedly restricted mobile internet and cellular networks. These measures are officially intended to prevent remote control of drones. North Ossetia is not the only region affected: nearly all parts of Russia have faced some level of internet disruption in recent months. The worst outages are being reported in the regions bordering Ukraine. In April 2025, North Ossetia was the target of a major drone attack. According to officials, 15 drones were shot down in the Mozdok district. Debris from one of the drones reportedly landed on an uninhabited building. There were no casualties or serious damage. The attack was the most significant drone incident in the region to date. Advertisement The previous drone attack on North Ossetia occurred on 25 December 2024, resulting in the death of a civilian woman, 57-year-old Ida Chivaeva. A drone had struck a shopping centre where Chivaeva worked before opening hours, killing her. Drone strikes against North Ossetia began in the summer of 2024. In July 2024, North Ossetia was reportedly attacked twice by drones. According to North Ossetian Head Sergei Menyailo, during the first attack, 'minor destruction and fires' were recorded at the airfield. He later deleted his post about the damages on Telegram. During the second attack, Menyailo claimed that 'there were no casualties or damages'. On 12 December 2024, Menyailo reported another drone attack on Mozdok district. He specified that the Mozdok district was attacked, but claimed there were no casualties or damages as a result of the incident.

Armenia declines to extradite Russian soldier who refused to fight in Ukraine

For over eight years, OC Media has worked with fearless journalists from Azerbaijan — some of whom now face decades behind bars — to bring you the stories the regime is afraid will get out. Help us fuel Aliyev's fears — become an OC Media member today Become a member Armenia has reportedly refused to extradite a Russian soldier wanted by Moscow for desertion. Independent Russian media outlet Novaya Gazeta Europe reported on the case on Monday, citing human rights activists who wished to remain anonymous for security reasons. The outlet reported that the Russian soldier in question, 25-year-old Semyon Subbotin, served as a radio operator and gunner in Russia's Strategic Missile Forces, and had fled Russia in September 2024 with the help of Go to the Forest, a group of volunteers who aid Russian soldiers in deserting their units and fleeing the country. According to Novaya Gazeta Europe, Russia filed a desertion case against him and placed him on an interstate wanted list. They also reported that Subbotin learned that people had arrived in Russia to either kill him or to pressure him to return. As a result, Subbotin opted to contact the Armenian police for help. The outlet cited anonymous sources as saying that Subbotin was detained for 72 hours by the Armenian police after they had notified Russia about his whereabouts. 'This period is given to the Russian side to transfer materials to decide on a preventive measure', the outlet said, but claimed that the Russian military arrived at the detention centre where Subbotin was being held and attempted to 'take him away, bypassing procedure'. As a result, the activists contacted the Yerevan police and the Prosecutor's Office and warned that Russia might attempt to kidnap Subbotin. Advertisement The man was released 72 hours later, but still awaits a possible extradition decision should Russia make the request. 'The police are acting professionally and their actions are aimed at preventing the illegal removal of Subbotin', the activists told Novaya Gazeta Europe. The activists added that Russia has 40 days to submit an extradition request, and if it fails to do so, Armenia would no longer be obliged to hold Subbotin. Subbotin is the latest Russian national to have faced extradition in Armenia upon Russia's request. In February, rights group Helsinki Citizens' Assembly — Vanadzor reported that members of the Russian police 'broke into' a police station to 'persuade' a Russian national to surrender. The incident was related to a criminal investigation back in Russia. In December 2023, Russia reportedly detained Russian military deserter Dmitry Setrakov in the Armenian city of Gyumri, later transferring him to Rostov-on-Don in Russia, despite the Armenian authorities claiming to have no knowledge of his detention or departure from the country. Two months later, when asked about Setrakov's case, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told France 24 that Setrakov's abduction 'greatly worried' Yerevan. '[We] are also investigating that case, and if it turns out that everything is as you say, it will of course also lead to certain consequences, because, of course, we cannot tolerate illegal actions on the territory of our country', Pashinyan said. Several months later, in April 2024, another Russian deserter, Anatoly Shchetinin, according to the assembly, was kidnapped by Russian military police based in Gyumri. However, shortly after Russian state media agency Sputnik published a video with Shchetinin in the territory of the base, in which he said: 'No one detained me, no one held me by force. Everything was done of my own free will'. The practice of enhanced interrogation techniques by Russian law enforcement to extract forced confessions, including torture and threats of violence, have been widely documented. In March 2024, the assembly also received alerts from Russian citizens who 'had escaped political persecution and sought refuge in Armenia'. They cited the Russian nationals as saying that they noticed people in Russian military uniforms near their places of residence, 'who overtly follow them and seek information as to who resides in apartments they oversee'. At the time, the assembly claimed that the Russian police used 'an unregistered passenger car with an Armenian license plate, which is intended exclusively for operational intelligence operations'.

GD-Established Grants Agency Opens First Call for Applications
Georgia's State Grants Management Agency , established by a Georgian Dream government decree in April, issued its first call for grant applications on July 21, saying it 'aims to support civic initiatives through state funding.' Critics, however, have argued the ruling Georgian Dream party is seeking to fund loyal organizations – so-called government-organized non-governmental organizations (GONGOs), while continuing to cut western funding to independent civil society groups, including through legislative moves. The agency is headed by Tamar Zodelava, a former regional project manager with the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ), who has also worked with the Council of Europe and the Eastern Partnership Regional Fund. 'Eligible applicants are non-commercial legal entities registered in Georgia whose founding documents reflect work in areas of state or public significance,' the agency said on July 21, adding that entities established by government bodies, municipalities, or other public institutions are not eligible. All grant proposals must align with one or more of 12 priority areas: (1) Democratic institutions, good governance, and human rights and fundamental freedoms; (2) Foreign policy and Georgia's integration into the EU; (3) Economic development; (4) Education, science, and youth; (5) Sports development; (6) Labor, health, and social welfare; (7) Defense and security; (8) Regional development and local self-government; (9) Environmental and natural resource protection; (10) Agriculture; (11) Legal and professional education; and (12) Reconciliation and civil equality. Applicants may request up to GEL 100,000 (approximately USD 37,000) per project, with a minimum project duration of three months from the signing of the grant agreement. A separate category of 'institutional development grants,' offering up to GEL 700,000 (USD 260,000), is also available for organizations seeking to 'strengthen organizational capacity and ensure long-term sustainability.' The application period runs from July 21 to August 11. The detailed guidelines are shared through a shared Google Drive folder as the agency currently lacks an official website and operates through a publicly listed email and phone number. Proposals will be evaluated by the Agency's council, with a quorum of at least 10 members required for any session. Decisions will be made by majority vote, with abstentions prohibited. In the case of a tie, the chairperson will cast the deciding vote. The state grant call comes as GD targets western funding for non-governmental organizations with repressive laws, including adopting Georgian interpretation of Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and introducing amendments to grant laws requiring foreign donors to obtain government approval before disbursing funds. The legislative crackdown was followed by further moves against media outlets and watchdogs through public agencies, including the Anti-Corruption Bureau targeting several civil society organizations with inspection requests, and the Revenue Service seizing accounts of media organizations citing outstanding debts.
