Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II appealed to the Russian leadership with a request not to make a decision to recognize the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The address of Ilia II, released yesterday evening by the Patriarchate of Georgia, in particular, says: “Active military operations on the territory of Georgia have ceased, but, unfortunately, the confrontation between our countries continues.

According to the decision of the Babushkinsky Court of Moscow, which recovered 500 thousand rubles from Eduard Limonov in favor of Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, bailiffs on August 26 described the property of the leader of the National Bolsheviks. As Sobkor®ru reports from the words of the politician and writer himself, mainly books and a mobile phone were described. Interfax later reported from his own words that the bailiffs also described a heater, an old camera and two leatherette chairs.

Finally, the Russian authorities recognized the obvious fact: the country will not join the World Trade Organization in the foreseeable future.

The only official notification we have received from Russia was last week. We received a letter stating that the Russian Ministry of Defense has decided to suspend participation in international military events involving Russia and NATO countries. I cannot comment on anything that Mr. Rogozin said at the press conference today, since his words were not officially conveyed to the alliance. NATO believes that relations with Russia are beneficial to both sides.

To the 40th anniversary of the "Rolenous Spring" In April 1968, I was drafted into the Soviet Army and sent to Hungary, to the southern group of troops (South -West). In a separate reconnaissance battalion under the division stationed in the city of Sekereshfehervar. At the end of May 1968, our division advanced to Haimashker, a city bordering the Czechoslovak Republic. We were told that this is happening within the framework of the upcoming combat exercises of the UGV.

Of course, the parties pump tension, demonstrating the seriousness of their threats. But there will be no war, of course. She is not beneficial to anyone, she will create only problems that neither Moscow nor Tbilisi know how to resolve. About this, most of the Russian expert and journalistic community (including the author of these lines) described the prospects of the Georgian-Russian confrontation three weeks ago. And everyone was mistaken. The escalation of mutual threats ended in war.

The American destroyer McFaul and the US Coast Guard patrol ship Dallas are heading to the area of ​​the Georgian port of Poti, where units of Russian troops are still located. This was reported by Agence France Presse. A source for the Kommersant newspaper in the Russian General Staff said that these ships were never vehicles for delivering humanitarian aid, but were a strike force of the NATO Navy, and did not rule out that the ships were equipped with Tomahawk-type cruise missiles.

The list of victims of the Georgian-Russian war was replenished with three more characters: Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Natalya Morar and Dmitry Dovgia. Natalya Morar did not give citizenship, noting that she was engaged in the overthrow of the existing system. Well, a stump is clear, a regime that won the most victorious war since the Great Patriotic War, will not be able to resist if Moral is in Russia. With Mikhail Khodorkovsky, too, everything is clear. It is not clear what the lawyers counted on.

Well, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev kept his promise to the presidents of South Ossetia and Abkhazia: on August 26, he signed decrees recognizing the independence of these republics and, in a televised address made after the Security Council meeting, called on other countries to follow Russia's example. The decision was made after both chambers of the Russian parliament unanimously supported an appeal to Medvedev with a request to recognize the independence of the republics.

Russia is suspending its participation in the status of forces agreement concluded with NATO under the Partnership for Peace program. This is one of the measures that the country is taking in response to the alliance’s statement on the situation in Georgia, Russia’s permanent representative to NATO Dmitry Rogozin said on August 26.

Pike vests are shaken. Romance shared. All those who expected the thaw and hoped that with the advent of Medvedev to the so -called Politzam, primarily Mikhail Khodorkovsky, “relief would come out.” It did not work out. The convict’s statements did not help that he would not demand the company taken away from him. The calls within the country and in the West did not help. The mother of Khodorkovsky Marina Filippovna Dmitry Medvedev did not help. Why? The answer is clear: the convict failed.
