Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has marked the anniversary of the Russian-Georgian war on Monday Aug. 8, 2011, by visiting an army unit that fought in the conflict. Three years ago the conflict erupted when Georgian troops tried unsuccessfully to regain control over the Moscow-backed rebel province of South Ossetia, and Russia sent troops that routed the Georgian military in five days of fighting in August 2008. Georgia entirely lost control of both South Ossetia and another separatist region, Abkhazia.(AP Photo/Musa Sadulayev, File)
