I am deeply concerned about Russias blatant interference in Georgia. not only because it has aggravated animosities and prolonged bloodshed. but because it signals the willingness of some in Moscowespecially in the Ministry of Defenseto resort to force to reestablish Russian hegemony over the former U.S.S.R. Today. the situation has become even more complex. Zviad Gamsakhurdia has returned from exile to Georgia. and a fullfledged civil war between his backers and Shevardnadzes may now break out. Hostilities in South Ossetia. where a tenuous ceasefire has been holding. may also again erupt. Meanwhile. hundreds of thousands of refugeesGeorgians. Abkhaz. and many othershave nowhere to live and little to eat. What happens now?
