VIDEO: Years After Russia-Georgia War, Fences And Fears Remain (youtube.com)


(youtube.com) Five years after Georgia and Russia fought a brief war over the breakaway region of South Ossetia, Russia troops remain in control of the territory, and continue to tighten the region's borders. For Georgians living in the Shida Kartli region, near the administrative border with South Ossetia, the presence of Russian troops and new barbed-wire fences has meant restricted movement and a constant fear of detention. But many say that there is no resentment between them and the civilians on the other side. Video by RFE/RL's Georgian Service
