The personality of the first President of the Republic of Abkhazia is heroic, legendary, and for the younger generation is already historical. Olga had a chance to catch a glimpse of the President in her childhood, but she certainly did not remember it. Having decided to paint a portrait of a man who looks at you from a variety of posters, she began to look for a photo, not covered with a legend. Theres no this picture in the Internet now, but it can be seen in the film "Vladislav Ardzinba. Drama of the Winner." At the portrait Vladislav Grigorievich is shortly before his death, immersed in thought, on the background of a green landscape near a mountain river. This landscape, like the air and the odour of the mountains, is inseparable from the Man who gave himself to his native Abkhazia.
