It was named in honour of the Marshal of Soviet Union Hovhannes Bagramyan who was ethnic Armenian as well.
On 10 May 1998, during hostilities prior to Six-Day War in Abkhazia (1998), there was a fire initiated on one of administrative buildings of the power grid in Mziuri. Some georgian sources believe it was done by the former members of the organization.
According to some georgian sources, the group has participated in ethnic cleansing of Georgians in Abkhazia.
