White Legion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The White Legion (Georgian: თეთრი ლეგიონი, t'et'ri legioni) was a guerrilla group consisting mostly of ethnic Georgians who remained in Abkhazia after the Georgian regular army's defeat in the War in Abkhazia (1992–1993).[1][2][3][4]
The group, along with another guerrilla group called the Forest Brothers, continued low-intensity guerrilla war against Abkhaz forces along the ceasfire line in the late 1990s and early 2000s.[1]
The White Legion was led by Zurab Samushia.[4]
