The old regime at least had control of it's media (read pravda) and could keep their story straight. These new guys have never had to deal with a "free press" before, video from cell phones, or camcorders. This is what is biting them in the azz right now. Blatent lies, and there is reasonable proof to refute their nonsense. 30 years ago a whole nother ball game..... Some on this site who have become the marc antony's of the russian regime, will soon learn that a point can be made, without useless bloodshed.
The Russians evacueted the Ossetians before the war, kind of proves their intentions. OSCE observers have stated its the Georgians that are now ethnically cleansed from Ossetia. The Russian propaganda machine has made a lot of claims that are still floating around.
