Audio: The August War: Two Years After

On Wednesday, August 25, 2010, the CSIS Russia and Eurasia Program convened a panel of experts for an event entitled “The August War: Two Years After.” The event focused on the political changes that have occurred in the Caucasus region since the August War in 2008, specifically Russia’s recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, frozen conflicts in the region, and the implications of the August War for Russian relations with the West. Andrew Kuchins, Director and Senior Fellow of the Russia and Eurasia Program, moderated the event.
