Gvinjia was born on 13 March 1976 in Sukhumi. In 1998, he graduated from the Gorlovsky State Institute for Foreign Languages in Ukraine. Gvinjia is a member of the Abkhazian Committee to Ban Land Mines and has written a number of papers on the subject.[3]
In 2014, Éric Baudelaire directed a documentary film, Letters to Max,[4] based on a correspondence with Gvinjia, to whom Baudelaire sent a series of letters from Paris to test whether the French postal system would deliver mail to a state it doesn't recognize. Gvinjia received many of the letters, and responded with voice recordings that became the voiceover for the film.[5][6]
