The Russian leadership of has made a tragic mistake, says Eduard Limonov, leader of the National Bolshevik Party in a statement on the conflict in South Ossetia. Russia should have brought its forces to South Ossetia in peace long before Georgians entered in force.
In Limonov’s words, Russia now has only one option: to bring its forces to Abkhazia immediately as a preventive measure. At the same time, Russia needs to allow North-Ossetian and Cossack volunteers to join the battle against Georgian forces in South Ossetia.
This is the only way for Russia to save face and maintain its superpower status, Limonov declares.
