Did not make the cut...

- I did a few more in the month of October that did not make it into the paper. The apprentice did not seem important enough at the moment and the news got old very quickly. Putin's criticism was looked over because of the Opposition one. Kokoity's xenophobia did not seem to be hot enough news, and number of attacks vs reality did not convey the idea behind it well. Nevertheless, here you go.



Kareli was a governor of one of Georgia's regions. He happened to be a close associate of Irakli Okruashvili and many claim that that connection was the reason Mr. Kareli was arrested on corruption charges.



Every couple weeks South Ossetian de-facto government claims an imminent military attack of Georgians being in planning. It's been this way for a long time. So far only a few minor incidents have taken place though. It gets to the point when "crying wolf" will not help...



South Ossetia's de-facto president, Eduard Kokoity made a statement that sounded like "all foreign diplomats are biased", and the only one he would talk to is the Russian
Ambassador.



Criticism coming from Putin, couple months prior to cracking down on opposition in his own country...
