  • IMG 015 GEORGIA. Polnisi. 2009. A refugee coming from the Kodori Gorge, in the Upper Abkhazia, sitting on a chair in her flat. She gets a benefit from the Georgian government of 22 lari per month, around 11 euro. The Georgian refugees were obliged to accept a radical change in their life-style, leaving behind them not only their material possessions but also something even more important:  what had given a meaning to their existence.

  • IMG 2572 GEORGIA. Tsqaltubo. 2007. A refugees family living in a collective center’s flat. Each apartment may house up to three or four families. Most of these lodgings are not supplied with drinking water, gas and heating, the refugees live in run-down buildings. The collective centers and the sanatoriums, where most refugees live, have become small islands apart from the rest of society, where people have jealously kept their identity and their set of values.The local population is indifferent and hostile to the fate of the refugees, who are considered as foreigners with special privileges who have come to steal housing and jobs.

Prospects are better for young people than for the rest of the population, they have excellent vocational training and many of them go to school or university, but they have great difficulty in finding work, the unemployment rate among the refugees is very high;  the lack of better perspectives for the future has disoriented and demoralized them.

  • A boy in his flat. His mother has lost her husband in Chechen war. His sister went to town to look for some job a year and a half ago. He has two nieces. They live together in run-down flat without heating and water supply. In the winter they can not use the stove because it is forbidden to use it in a multi-storey-building. The village Slavjanka is 160 km south of Omsk in the county of Novowarschavka, close to the border with Kazakhstan. Half of the adults have no jobs and have low paying casual jobs. The alcohol consumption grows with the lack of any prospects. Almost every family is touched with alcoholism. Heating systems and running water have not been working for years because most of the families cannot afford the associated costs. There are a lot of cheap, empty, run down apartments. For a couple of years now families with debts are being relocated from Omsk into these apartments. The adults and children feel completely out of place and have difficulties integrating. Some children need psicological support to deal with family problems such as poverty, domestic violence and alcohol.
