For info on what is happening in Russia, I have listed a collection of my favorite Russian news websites and blogs (they are in English). I will be gathering a list of Georgian sites for tomorrow. Some of the official Georgian sites that I have used are no longer online .... I must assume that they are experiencing hacker attacks as reported by Wired magazine.
