  1. Caucase ajouté à l'annuaire RSS 🇫🇷
    Caucasus added to the RSS directory 🇬🇧

    The Georgia tag has a characteristic: an ambiguous word, relating to a geographical close topic, and few websites display it as a mashup of Caucasus country, U.S. state and person.

    I don’t think they “wanted it to fail” because it assumes some kind of intentional plan. I think the apparent failure was caused by misunderstanding Russian goals in Donbas. Have you ever seen how situation looks like in #Abkhazia, South #Ossetia, #Transnistria? Their purpose was never to solve the ethnic conflicts, they were always maintained in suspended state in order to create problems for the other countries - #Georgia and #Moldova, respectively. “Problems” which Moscow controlled 100%, which allowed it execute pressure on these countries using “stick and carrot” strategy. Did Moscow care about the people living there? Not at all, because if they did, they would simply solve the situation there, one way or another.

    The organised crime is just a side effect - you’ve got the same “state-sponsored gangs” in Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transnistria. I know plenty of Russians who in 2010’s registered their cars in South Ossetia or Abkhazia, because it allowed them not to pay custom fees and not even pay speeding tickets 😂 All kind of contraband was going through these “republics” too, but it was just a convenient side effect from the geopolitical goals.

    The purpose of DNR and LNR was 100% the same - prevent Ukraine’s accession to EU by creating an endless “civil war”. Moscow agreed to Minsk Agreements, because if Ukraine fully implemented it, then the whole Ukraine would effectively turn into a large DNR. Fortunately, when #Ukraine saw Moscow doesn’t intend to implement any of their obligations (ceasefire, internationally observed referendum, control of the border), it stopped doing it on their side and the trick didn’t work.

    And of course, Russia promised that DNR will “join Russia soon”, except that’s exactly what they promised to the above “republics” for the last 30 years. This sounds stupid and naive, but let’s just remember that regular Russians had been also believing Putin’s promises for the last 30 years and drawing no conclusions from their failures 🤷
