NoteGeorgia has been beset by ethnic and civil strife since independence. In late 1991, the country's first elected president, Zviad GAMSAKHURDIA was ousted in an armed coup. In October 1993, GAMSAKHURDIA, and his supporters sponsored a failed attempt to retake power from the current government led by former Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard SHEVARDNADZE. The Georgian government has also faced armed separatist conflicts in the Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions. A cease-fire went into effect in South Ossetia in June 1992 and a joint Georgian-Ossetian-Russian peacekeeping force has been in place since that time. Georgian forces were driven out of the Abkhaz region in September 1993 after a yearlong war with Abkhaz separatists. Nearly 200,000 Georgian refugees have since fled Abkhazia, adding substantially to the estimated 100,000 internally displaced persons already in Georgia.

25. ANALYSIS: The Government-criminal Alliance (01/13/02)
Members of parliament in georgia have demanded the resignation of the internal Can the criminal/government alliance in the former ussr be defeated?
http://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/2002/020206.shtml
ANALYSIS The government-criminal alliance by Roman Kupchinsky
RFE/RL Crime, Corruption and Terrorism Watch The fight against organized crime is inseparably linked to the question of high-level government corruption. When a corrupt government forms an alliance with organized crime, domestic law-enforcement agencies become cops on the beat - chasing down muggers and pickpockets - while aiding, and benefiting from, major criminal activity. Only when the government/criminal alliance is destroyed can the rule of law return. In the former USSR such a situation exists today. The examples are numerous and brazen. The head of the department in charge of battling corruption at the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) recently fled abroad, fearing arrest for selling protection to criminal groups. The head of Ukraine's Internal Affairs Ministry was fired by the president, and both are suspected of complicity in the murder of a journalist. Members of parliament in Georgia have demanded the resignation of the internal affairs minister and the procurator general for corruption. A Korean businessman recently confessed to having given the president of Kazakstan a bribe of $10 million. Can the criminal/government alliance in the former USSR be defeated? If so, by whom?

MIKHAIL SAAKACHVILI IS VOTED LEADER OF GEORGIA As expected Mikhail Saakachvili (National Movement) was elected by a wide majority President of Georgia winning 85.5% of the vote. The two candidates after him won only 0.4% each and in all the scores of his four adversaries together (Temour Chachiachvili, Kartlos Garibachvili, Roin Liparteliani and Zaza Sikharoulidze) did not go beyond 1%. The leader of the "rose revolution", who forced President Edward Shevardnadze to resign on 23 rd November last after three weeks of peaceful demonstrations, during which the population challenged the results of the general elections that were held on 2nd November, was well and truly voted in as leader of Georgia. In spite of the call to boycott the elections by those loyal to Edward Shevardnadze, the participation rate rose to 83%. Half of the electorate had to go to ballot in order for the election to be declared valid - a result that was achieved just two hours before the end of the election. Four hundred and fifty international observers monitored the presidential election for which no particular problem was detected. The presidential election was boycotted by the province of Abkhazia. In South Ossetia only the inhabitants living in the area controlled by Tbilisi took part. In Adjaria, Aslan Abachidze's stronghold, the state of emergency was only lifted at the last minute hence just a small number of voters went to ballot. Abachidze had challenged the establishment of new electoral roles as well as the dissolution of the previous electoral Commission; therefore he suspended the organisation of the presidential election in his region.

News From Former USSR A Very Dim View of Russian President Putin A new poll by the independent Levada Center has found that 38% of Russians believe that president Putin " defends the interests " only of his security forces, while 28% believe that he is the president only of the "oligarchs, bankers and big business". According to the survey, which was covered by Agence France-Presse, barely 17% of respondents said that Putin defends "ordinary people " and over 63% said that they were "tired of waiting for positive changes" from Putin. Andijan Massacre In Uzbekistan By Simon Jones
With thanks to Eric Walberg
The dust may be settling in Andijan, Uzbekistan after the recent uprising and the state’s brutal, corrupt dictatorship, but the implications of this heroic and tragic episode will hunt this Uzbekistan regime until it falls. The blocking of all TV and internet news sites for a week, did not stop the word leaking out of hundreds of deaths, the firing on peaceful demonstrators from a helicopter, the trucks full of trigger-happy soldiers which ploughed into the crowds, not once but three times, murdering people who could no longer tolerate the vileness of their government and who had no other option left. There were 600 Muslims, murdered by this puppet of US imperialism, who stashed his gold in the Bank of England, whose daughter was caught with a plane full of gold in Moscow, and this is President Karimov who approves of boiling people alive. The writing is on the wall, Mr. Karimov.

By Sowing the Wind, They Will Reap a Hurricane
The Russian bourgeois-comprador regime once again decided to do away with the ideals of Communism and Bolshevism, to bury the great historical facts of former USSR. This is on the eve of the 80 th Anniversary of the death of V.I. Lenin. In this muddy, filthy, obnoxious campaign the government pulled out all the stops in this murky attempt, of course of the eve of the Presidential election, with the help of their "masters of culture " to do away with the body of V.I. Lenin from the Mausoleum on the Red Square. Even with all of these " experts" in muddying the waters, they could not come up with anything new. Calling Lenin a national traitor, getting German gold to start the 1917 Revolution, his bloody cruelty and murder of people…they call upon all people to agree to rebury Lenin in a " Christian Burial " - of course, get him out of the Lenin Mausoleum. And of course, the 125th Anniversary of the birth of Stalin coming, these traitors could not let this pass by, they dragged out again and again the stories of "repressions

    Part 1 By Simon Wheelan 29 December 2003 Use this version to print Send this link by email Email the author The following is the first of a two-part series on the US-backed coup in Georgia and its aftermath. The concluding part will be posted tomorrow, December 30. The geo-political significance of Georgia cannot be underestimated. It sits astride the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil and Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipelines, situated between the Black and Caspian seas, containing two, possibly three breakaway provinces, and borders Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Regional commentators have remarked upon the relative inexperience of the interim government trio of Mikhail Saakashvili, acting president Nino Burdzhanadze and Zhurab Zhvania. These three former underlings of Shevardnadze will most likely make up the forthcoming government, with Saakashvili crowned president. Their overt reliance upon the Bush administration in Washington and their plans for the reintegration of Georgia can only further destabilise the Caucasus. This threat equally applies regarding the longstanding breakaway provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

REBUILDING FAILED STATES: GEORGIA, UGANDA, TAJIKISTAN - RAS 13, JRL 6571 SOURCES. (A) Mark R. Beissinger and Crawford Young, eds. Beyond State Crisis? Postcolonial Africa and Post-Soviet Eurasia in Comparative Perspective (Washington, DC: Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2002), Chapters 16 and 17. (B) Shirin Akiner, Tajikistan: Disintegration or Reconciliation? (London: The Royal Institute of International Affairs, 2001) The weakness or outright collapse of the state is a problem that besets both Africa and the post-Soviet region. Two professors at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Mark Beissinger, a post-Soviet area specialist, and Crawford Young, a specialist on Africa have collaborated with other authors (including from African and post-Soviet countries) to produce a large volume (source A) in which this problem is analyzed in cross-regional comparative perspective. In their introduction, the editors acknowledge that Africa and the former USSR are very different in certain respects, such as cultural background and educational levels, but insist that the similarities are sufficiently important to justify a comparative approach. On the whole, the book confirms this claim. Of course, other cross-regional comparisons are also possible and have their own merits. In particular, Russian/Soviet specialists on Latin America have long striven to draw parallels between that region and the (ex-)USSR, especially with regard to problems of regime transition and economic development. But if one is looking at the problem of state breakdown then the comparison with Africa is more relevant.

    Rebellion in a former USSR republic
    Mass protests topple U.S. ally By Elizabeth Schulte CELEBRATING PROTESTERS choked the streets of Georgia’s capital of Tbilisi at the end of November after demonstrations brought down the corrupt 11-year rule of Eduard Shevardnadze. Shevardnadze was forced to resign November 23 after mass protests culminated in opposition leaders storming the parliament building in what has been called the "rose revolution." At that time, Shevardnadze was the darling of Washington and seen as a player in ending the Cold War. He came to power in Georgia promising that he would clean up state corruption and introduce the free market to bring prosperity. Instead, the country was thrust into civil war and crippling poverty. Today, Georgiaa country of some 5 million people that was once considered one of the prosperous regions of the USSRis in deep economic crisis. Unemployment is around 20 percent, and the majority of Georgians live below the poverty line. Today, both the U.S. and Russia see high stakes in what happens next in Georgia. Both countries maintain military forces in Georgia.

    The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh between Armenia and Azerbaijan was the first major ethno-political conflict the former Soviet Union. This article reviews legal aspects of this confrontation. 1. The Karabakh Conflict in relation to the Laws and Constitution of the former USSR. On February 20 1988 a Session of the Supreme Soviet of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region (NKAR) in regional center of Stepanakert appealed to the Supreme Soviet of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the USSR government to allow it to be joined to Armenia. The Azerbaijani government quickly rejected this request on the basis of the USSR Constitution of 1977, Article 78, which provides that "the territory of Union Republics may be altered by mutual agreement of the Republics concerned, subject to ratification by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics." This constitutional act
    of Azerbaijan was received in Nagorno-Karabakh and in Armenia with hostilities against Azeris. Strikes and mass demonstrations were organized in order to exert pressure on the Soviet central government.

    The name "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" (USSR) conjures up images of imposed austerity and controlled conformity. In reality, however, the peoples that reside in this former superpower are anything but conformed. The climate of the country is as varied as are its peoples - containing everything from arid desert to the most barren Polar Regions in Siberia. How did these peoples get to where they are today - in many large and small fragmented nations? In much of their history, on can see a close correlation with food and food production. From the 16th through the early 20th centuries, Russia was ruled by czars, emperors whose title can be derived from the word "Caesar." By the twentieth century, however, the peasants were unable to meet their daily food portion that they needed, and began to feel disillusioned with the czar at the time, Nicholas II. In response, Nicholas II formed the Duma, the parliament of Russia that continues today. As if that were not enough for the already troubled czar, Germany declared war on Russia in the First World War. While Nicholas II was off fighting in the war, his wife, Alexandrina fell under the influence of Grigory Rasputin, the so-called holy monk that allegedly cured Prince Alexis of his hemophilia. According to legend, the nobles, upset with the influence of Rasputin, invited him to a feast and poisoned his food. The "holy" man did not die of poison, nor did he die of the bullets shot at him later that evening by the guards. However, as he was running away, he tripped and fell into a stream and died.
