In the wake of an inevitable war

Abstract

Let's start a little further: when Georgia returned four spies to Russia in the fall of 2006 and as a result received a comprehensive Russian blockade, the question has not lost its relevance since the very first day of the announcement of this blockade: who is this blockade hurting more, Russia or Georgia? Despite the existence of many and quite serious arguments, we must admit that answering this question in the hot pursuit was not so easy. Moreover, in this case it is very difficult to talk about symmetrical losses. If for Russia the negative consequences of the current events are more on the political plane, for Georgia this was primarily manifested in the aggravation of economic problems.
