Sublime Oblivion takes on the complex problem of Russophilia vs. Russophobia, with a very interesting and thoughtful discussion, attempting to schematically categorize bloggers and analysts, but in the process - possibly - raises more questions than providing answers, due to the very ecclectical character of the issue on various practical and theoretical levels.

War just broke out in the Caucasus
Heavy fighting in South Ossetia
Quote:
Georgian forces and South Ossetian separatists have been exchanging heavy fire just hours after agreeing to a ceasefire and Russian-mediated talks.
Russian media reports said Georgia had launched a tank-led attack on the separatist stronghold of Tskhinvali, with at least 15 killed in shelling.
Georgia says its aim is to finish “a criminal regime” and restore order.
Moscow has called on the international community to jointly work “to avert massive bloodshed and new victims”.
At Russia’s request, members of the UN Security Council are holding a rare emergency session to discuss a response to the escalating violence.
