I do not entirely understand the current situation.  NATO is holding
long-scheduled 'Partnership for Peace' exercise in Georgia this year -- and
PfP exercises are very neutral, even Finland is a PfP member -- and
apparently, Russia is pretending that it is some sort of  military
provocation or preparation for retaking the occupied territories.

There's a possibility that Russia intends to create a conflict with Georgia
again.  But it could just be some sort of internal policy device.  For
example, as we know, South Ossetia's economy is in dire condition, with its
sole trading partner being Russia and very little industry in its area.
 Maybe housing Russian troops there is Russian form of economic aid,
legitimising the military paying millions of roubles for food, lodgings and
services?  After all, it would be a major face-losing incident if economy of
South Ossetia crashed and the inhabitants would stage protests or -- worse
-- migrate to Thbilisi-controlled Georgia, whose economy is somewhat better.

In other news, State Duma has prepared a new bill outlawing "worshipping
Nazism" (which it defines rather vaguely except in one detail), authorising
monitoring of foreign media to create a black list of foreigners who could
be prosecuted under this law, and declaring jurisdiction all over former
USSR, explicitly recommending that when people in this black list from
former USSR travel to Russia, they should be arrested and prosecuted. <
