If Georgia is a test case for Russia’s evolving policy in the “near abroad,” the rest of the former Soviet republics had better start worrying. Moscow’s professed goal of being the peacekeeper in the region, which it considers to be part of its vital interests, doesn’t necessarily alarm the West. The evidence on the ground suggests that Moscow isn’t up to the task, anyway. In Georgia, the Russians have wrenched a series of painful concessions, then failed to reward Shevardnadze with badly needed military support....

He had no real choice in the matter. It didn’t matter if he preferred to be close to his home in the D.C. area or close to where he went to college at Texas.
