Prostite... but seriously, where is all this getting us?

I think it's highly unlikely that this or any Russian president will go around in sack-cloth, with ashes on his forehead, begging the forgiveness of every postage-stamp sized country that an ethnic Georgian dictator brutalized 3 generations ago.

What worries me is the here and now.

Well, unless they start sizing themselves for hair-shirts, in the here and now they will be doomed to living the famous verses from "Ziyayushchie Vysoty":
"Ya kucheyu gorzhus', v kotoroj ya sizhu,
I sam svoyu zhe zadnitsu lizhu"
Even more, they will be living these 2 lines ad infinitum.
