International peacekeeping contingent was deployed in Georgia since Civil War of 1992, after some ethnic cleansings took place in South Ossetia and Abkhazia conducted by Georgian nationalistic regime of Gamsakhurdiya. In 2008 Russian peacekeepers were attacked by Georgian military with direct order from Georgian revanchist Saakashvili. Russia responded and this was portraited in Western media as "Russian invasion".
