Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the case of separatism in post-soviet Georgia. Starting from the main causes that led to the secessionist movements, the cases of South Ossetia and Abkhazia are described in detail. Throughout the article, the position of the Russian Federation regarding one disputant’s claims or another will be defined. Russian implication on this matter through the peacekeeping forces has had a great impact on the development of the situation. Considering this fact, there was a possibility for a potential ceasefire and to establish some interstate relations, only under Russian monitoring.Most of the conflicts taking place in the South Caucasus region imply the presence of the Russian state. Nevertheless, their political elites overestimate the capability of Moscow in the proceeding to find an equitable solution that would benefit all theconflictual sides.
