Talk About War Profiteering!

November 26, 2008
A new Russian computer game called "Confrontation -- Peace Enforcement," which simulates a new war between Russia and Georgia, is due to appear in shops in December.

In the game, NATO member Poland supports an effort by Tbilisi to take back the breakaway South Ossetia region, while Ukraine blockades Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. Russia then launches an attack on Georgia in response.

The Prague-based Bohemia Interactive Studio, meanwhile, has a new game in the works that looks at the Russia-Georgia conflict from a pro-Western perspective. According to "The Moscow Times," the game stars a group of U.S. soldiers who intervene in a conflict in "Chernarus," a fictional ex-Soviet republic that strongly resembles Georgia.

About This Blog
Written by RFE/RL editors and correspondents, Transmission serves up news, comment, and the odd silly dictator story. While our primary concern is with foreign policy, Transmission is also a place for the ideas -- some serious, some irreverent -- that bubble up from our bureaus. The name recognizes RFE/RL's role as a surrogate broadcaster to places without free media. You can write us at transmission@rferl.org
