This book provides a novel proposal for an integral description of memory regimes in the South Caucasus, covering both the independent states of Armenia and Georgia, but also two separatist entities created during the turbulent transformations of the early 1990s - Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Being a transdisciplinary proposal, encompassing perspectives from the political sciences, history, and cultural anthropology, this work may be of interest to researchers from a diverse range of academic disciplines. At the same time, due to its narrative structure, it may also serve as a refreshing offer for students of Eastern studies, facilitating a fuller understanding of the dynamics behind political change in the so-called post-Soviet space. Its comprehensive and integral approach to the analysis and interpretation of collective memory through the prism of its representation, presented in the form of a case study-based anthropological story, may also appeal to readers not associated with institutional academia. Bartłomiej Krzysztan is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland. Introduction. South Caucasus as a Memory Space -- Chapter I.
