The Russian Foreign Minister yesterday for the first time openly declared that the unrecognized republics in the former Soviet Union have a right to self-determination.

No responsible country will recognize if Putin Regime will try to tear apart Abkhazia and S. Ossetia from Georgia.

This would not be possible if not for the action of NATO in Kosovo. Unfortunately our own country continues to be on the wrong side of the Kosovo issue and seems determined to rip it from Serbia. Once done there will be no credible arguments for maintaining the hypothetical territorial integrity of Moldova, Georgia, and Azerbaidzhan.

Well, if Montenegrines could self-determine their future via referendum than Transdniestria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia can do it too.

The "unrecognized republics" will merely become Russia's puppet republics if Putin's regime has its way; de facto, this is what they are right now-- since the Russian military controls these areas to a greater extent than the legitimate freer governments which Putin despises.
I think that even native Russians would be happier outside of Russia's sphere of influence; they would have far fewer economic and political restrictions to contend with.

Putin's goal of restoring the USSR is unchanged (whatever the final product may be called). His hopes are founded on oil and gas sales to Europe, which will fund everything, as well as accomplish Russian domination over Europe, something WWII and the Cold War failed to do. Wherever the pipelines run will be under Russian control.
