Murtaz fought in Abkhazia against Russian forces from 1992 till 1993. For one year he lived as a soldier, caught in the violence of a war that left deep scars on his country and his life. When the fighting ended, his battlefield became a different one: survival.

For three decades he has lived inside one of Stalin’s former sanatoria. Once a place of power and privilege, now a shadow of history turned into shelter. His story is not only about war, but about endurance, memory, and the long echo of conflicts that never truly end.
