Abstract. The main domestic political event of 2022 for the Republic of Abkhazia was the parliamentary elections held on March 12 and 26. It’s indicative that only 7 deputies (out of 35) of the previous convocation were re-elected. At least 23 members of the new parliament can be considered pro-government. The opposition is fragmented, but the pro-government forces cannot be considered united. The request for the formation of a “third force” isn’t satisfied. Crisis phenomena in the socio-political and economic spheres continue to have a destabilizing effect on the situation in the republic, some positive changes and implemented projects don’t have a decisive impact. Domestic political stability and the sustainability of the existing system of power remain vulnerable.
