The paper is aimed to show social and political changes taking place in the Socialist Soviet Republic of Abkhazia and the Abkhaz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in the post-revolution period until its reabsorption by the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic and the death of the merited Abkhazian communist Nestor Lakoba, as well as to outline the process of formation of Abkhazian statehood. The analysis of sources and papers seen from the viewpoint of various sciences – history, politology, security and cultural studies - was employed as the research method. The results have been put through a synthesis and induction. An erudite approach has been adopted – when discussing a given topic the recognized facts and views of observers and researchers are quoted so that their clash and confrontation could be used to expand the research field and formulate conclusions that may prove useful in research on the shaping of statehood of various political communities.
