<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1030038, member: 26302&quot;]Yes we can go back and completely remake world maps depending upon what date we wish to go back and &quot;reset the clock&quot; to. I am aware of the history, being a collector of Kolchis coins. However, Abkhazia has been a part of Georgia for pretty much the entire 20th century, it certainly was when the Soviet Union collapsed. That is the point in which all of these nations need to be defined by. Should we go back in time to where the Principality of Muscovy paid tribute to the Golden Horde and &quot;Russia&quot; was basically a country within 30 miles of Moscow? Or should we go back just 300 years and strip away Siberia and the Russian Far East from Russia?</p><p><br /></p><p>History cannot be turned back. When the Soviet Union fell these countries existed. Trying to go back and justify &quot;historically&quot; their now &quot;freedom&quot; is troubling, especially when every one you are trying to justify is being done behind the scenes to promote Russian control over the area. There is a reason all three of these territories obey their Russian masters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Btw no offense meant. I have many Russian friends and we have the same discussion all of the time. I just wanted to add background to yor post about Transdnistria.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
