Thirteen years ago Russia
recognized two former Georgian republics – South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
Time showed the cultural incompetence of Russia and its
inability to export not only oil, gas and weapons,
but ideas and effective political institutions – which is a sign of a true superpower.
South Ossetia’s President is a
Russia-supported criminal Anatoly Bibilov, who plunged his nation into a devastating political crisis caused by a
killing of local citizen Inal Dzhabiyev by policemen. The Parliament of South Ossetia is pushing for
no-confidence vote against the government.
Neither of Abkhazia’s presidents after 2008 was able to serve his full term because of a permanent political
turbulence in the country. Khadzhimba overthrew Ankvab only to be ousted by Bzhania.
Russia is
failing culturally in both republics and cannot do anything about it. South Ossetia and Abkhazia are turning into little copies of the
stagnating ineffective Russian political model.
