Communist Party of Abkhazia

The Communist Party of Abkhazia (CPA; Abkhaz: Аԥсны Акомунисттә Апартиа, romanized: Apsny Akomunisttw Apartia; Georgian: აფხაზეთის კომუნისტური პარტია, romanized: apkhazetis k'omunist'uri p'art'ia) is a political party in Abkhazia.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, the CPA was refounded as an independent party on 4 March 1995.

During the first Presidential election of Abkhazia, in 1999, it supported President Ardzinba (who ran unopposed).

However, unlike many of the other communist organisations in the region, the CPA has denounced the political legacy of Joseph Stalin.

[4] On 29 February 2016, the Communist Party became a founding member of the Council for the National Unity of the Republic of Abkhazia, uniting political forces that were neither pro-government nor pro-opposition.
