Abstract	The subject matter of the present article is the reflections of the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict and Abkhaz war (1992-1993) in the Georgian print media and the Georgian-Russian public and political relations. The Georgian media discourse analysis the period from the 1980s to the present outlines feasible prospects for the resolution of the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict. We will look at the revaluation of the Soviet paradigms, as well as the intentional mistakes made in order to underscore the necessity for Georgia, Abkhazia and Russia, to overcome their negative stereotypes in favor of the future civilized interethnic relations. We aim to show the absurd and paranoid nature of violence, the need for kindred nations to have relations in order to maintain their identity, the advantages of rational consensus of nations located on the same geopolitical plane vis-a-vis violence, and that there is no alternative to the humanitarian will of bilateral political forgiveness and reconciliation.
