The white book is here and according to a few words from D Peskov at this stage it won't be modified, no plan to keep updating it, seen as a starting point to urge sides at the conflict and their respective support to come to their senses

Second guessing is always a problem.... It is excessive to say that President Saakashvili needs a psychiatric assistance but his judgement and his analysts is biased by his personal emotions, feelings and resentment,a language you can easily find as well in Kiev for the very same reasons. It is difficult to say whether or not "The Russians" have a true historic responsibility in how leaders and some citizens of the former Soviet union countries feel about them and whether or not that kind of blame game can't help much rights now, a large part of his speech was a reminder of how he looks today at past events to explain how he feels.
Today's Russia pays and will continue to pay for decades to come the consequences of its passed as an empire keeping in mind it wasn't Russia or the Russians but the Soviet Union and score of non Russians of the former territories of the Soviet Union that were involved in the policies President Saakashvili incriminate.
Russia's policies today have much more to do with a decolonisation process the Soviet Union should be in charge of with limited collateral damage to its own core interests. Since the Soviet Union has disappeared too fast to accomplish the task, the biggest power of the Union ends up with it needing although an active cooperation as much as possible positive from other members of the dead Union to make it a successful process in the best interests of all the parties and the populations they share, that doesn't mean Russia as a party of a former empire cannot find useful talks with former empire countries that have experienced still experience for some difficult and complicated relations with their former partners.
How is it today
