People protest during an anti-Russian demonstration against the conflict in Georgia, in front of the Russian Embassy in Warsaw August 11, 2008. Fighting between Russia and its small, former Soviet neighbour broke out last Thursday when Georgia sent forces to retake South Ossetia, a pro-Russian province that threw off Georgian rule in the 1990s. The banner reads "Georgia". REUTERS/Kacper Pempel (POLAND)
