History

Adzyubzha had a population of 3597 people in 1989. But it was significantly depopulated following the 1993 War.

At the "time of the 2011 Abkhazian Census," Adzyubzha had a population of 1,072. Of these, 84.0% were Abkhaz, 6.0% Russian, 5.8% Georgian, 1.0% Armenian, 0.7% Greek and 0.1% Ukrainian.

Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by, 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
