During the war between Georgia and Russia, 8–16 August 2008, the Web sites of Presidents
Mikheil Saakashvili and Dmitry Medvedev were used actively to promote their countries’
conflicting views on the war. This article considers the structure of the two Web sites, their use
during the war and their place in the media systems of Georgia and Russia.
