According to the BBC, Russia's stock market has fallen 30% since the country invaded Georgia, taking $20 billion out of country in the last month. Will this help convince Russia to engage the West on friendlier terms?

"... Russia may have got away with a slap on the wrist from Europe for its invasion, Moscow is being punished much more directly by international investors."

Analysts in Moscow say Russia is now seen as a risky place to invest and it will be a long time before confidence returns.
