| As EU enters Georgia, Russia exhibits trophies of war |
| 2008-10-03 |
| The war over the Georgian breakaway region of South Ossetia may have ended two months ago, but Russian troops have remained deep within Georgia ever since. Now as part of a peace plan orchestrated by the French, about 200 European Union monitors have arrived in Georgia. Over the next nine days, the Russian forces are meant to pull back, leaving the monitors to keep the peace. But it may not be that simple. |

| #1 I heard a radio report about this "exhibit", and it struck me that a lot of it could have been purchased on Ebay, and much of the rest at a weekend military history convention/auction. I guess that passes for "trophies of war" amongst the soviets. |
