This study addresses three central questions that flow from the bombing campaign in Georgia. Simply put, these are: who did it; why did they; and what, if anything, should Western governments do about it? The study finds that the evidence of Russian involvement in the 2009-11 bombings in Georgia is compelling, and moreover, that the notion of 'rogue units' being responsible lacks credibility. The evidence produced by Georgian investigators, self-incriminating behavior of Russian officials in Abkhazia, and not least the credible accounts provided by five detainees interviewed by the authors of this paper all point to this conclusion.
