...South Ossetia and Abkhazia broke away from Georgia in the 1990s in the wake of bloody ethnic wars.

...divisive figure despite that. To her friends and intimates, she will always be remembered by her nickname, Pinky. To millions of supporters, she was the inheritor of her father's political legacy and his Pakistan People's Party. To millions of others, she was a brazen opportunist - a onetime idealist warped by ambition.
