In Georgia, the war in Ukraine has opened a fresh wound, that of the 2008 Russian invasion. The 
memory of the blitzkrieg and the occupation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia make it difficult to share a country with the 100,000 or so Russians who have fled Russia, says Georgian playwright and translator Davit Gabunia in this new episode of our series looking at the war in Ukraine from an Eastern European perspective.

Whether collateral damage of the war or an operation contrived by Alexander Lukashenko’s regime, the destruction of World War II Polish resistance fighters’ graves in Belarus raises questions about the relationship of former Communist countries with recent history, as The Village Belarus reports.
