Influence of August war 2008 on South Caucasus

Abstract

After the 90s of the last century, the bipolar world order was shattered and the sings of the multi polar formation appeared. In new world order the successor of Soviet Union, Russia did not have the resources and influence to maintain a look of the old glory before the world. 1 It could not adapt with loosing of the glory and started new fight for the renovation of “Derjava”.

On the route of this struggle one of the stages implied planning and implementation of war on the territory of Georgia.

It seems that in this process together with the tools of the “soft power”, the usage of rough/military forces has not lost urgency for Russia. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia repeatedly tried to meet imperial ambitions, but it was not easy.
