The residents of Tskhinval stated that during the shelling and bombing of the city, they were in the basement and didn’t dare raise their heads. Many attempted to evacuate their children, but in majority of the cases it was unsuccessful. It was impossible to determine the time of day, whether it was day or night, since the shelling lasted almost continuously with only minor interruptions. The firing was conducted with heavy artillery, including systems “Grad”.  “There was so much noise in the basement, as if a lightning was continuously striking about a meter away.  After some time has passed, people stopped paying attention to the explosions – that was abnormal.”

A resident of Tskhinval said: “I live on the 9^th floor, and during one of the breaks in shooting, I came upstairs and looked out my windows. It was unbelievable – instead of a city, endless fire and smoke was all there was left as if they purposely tried to level the city with the ground.  I would not wish it upon my enemies to witness what we have.”

As witnessed by a resident Ilona Dzhioeva of Dmenis village of the Tskhinval region of South Ossetia, “the Georgian army war planes carried out a bombing of the homes of peaceful residents, and then the soldiers entered the village, which at close range shot old people, women and children." Those that fled Georgians shot at close range; the wounded were finished off by shots to their heads.

According to the refugees from South Ossetia, in one of the villages in The Znaurskiy region the Georgians burnt several girls alive in a house. “They gathered them up as cattle, locked them up in the house and set fire. We saw, how in another place a tank drove over an old woman, who was running away with two children. We saw how they slaughtered a one and half year old baby”, described the refugees.

During the fighting the elders from the village Khetagurovo of the Tskhinval region decided to take cover in the temple of the Holy Mother of God.  The Georgian troops burnt the people alive along with the temple. Georgian soldiers drove a large group of young women of the village of Khetagurov away in an unknown direction. Their lot is thus far unknown.

Due to the Georgian aggression towards South Ossetia, the political scientist Sergey Shemaev came forward with an open appeal of "on the matter of the support of the policy of the Georgian government, which carried out a genocide of the South Ossetian people".

"Without any doubt, the population of Tskhinval would have been completely destroyed without the involvement of Russia in this situation, which was confirmed by the actions of the Georgian side during the assault on the city, and also by the fact that Georgia actually refused to grant a corridor for the exit of refugees from the city destroyed by the Georgian servicemen,” it was stated.

The political scientist also declared, that the UN Security Council "showed its incapacity as an institute of international security, by not having advanced a single reasonable resolution for the conflict". " The reaction of the UN Security Council had to be immediate, the fate of an entire people was being decided, however, on August 8th the UN Security Council refused to accept the proposal of Russia and to condemn the use of force in the Georgian-Ossetian conflict. The UN Security Council only expressed uneasiness in regards to an increase in tension in the zone of the conflict. Expedient UN Security Council resolutions could have avoided an escalation of the conflict”, declared Shemaev.

His statement indicated that "The USA and some of their European partners, declaring the need for preserving the integrity of Georgia and insisting on the removal of Russian troops from the zone of conflict, and also expressing support to the policy, conducted by the Georgian President, actually condoned the crimes, commited by the government of Georgia and have taken on the responsibility for events that occurred in the region". "Military equipment, supplied into Georgia by the member nations of NATO, is being used now in the mass murders of South Ossetians", stated the political scientist.

The Russian Federation's prosecution team of the investigation committee filed criminal charges based on article 105 UK RF (murder of two or more persons commited by method dangerous to many), against the Georgian senior officials," the political scientist stated.  In his opinion, it is obvious, that following the investigation of the actions a international tribunal will be created.

"To negotiate with the President Saakashvili further doesn’t seem feasible because Russia it does not conduct negotiations with terrorists responsible for the mass murder of people", stated Shemaev.

"The absence of democratic principles, respect for human rights and freedom, actually places this political process in the rank of such regimes as the regime of Milosevic in Serbia, Hussein in Iraq, Saakashvili into Georgia" , declares Shemaev.

Mamsurov Street, 5 / 21, director of studies of the State Lycee of Arts

From the seventh to the ninth, we sat through in the basement; to count it, it was three and a half days. The basement did not even have water, but the shelling was so severe that we could not go out, go up to a floor and get a bottle of water… Fortunately, there were no babies in the basement, we were all adults, twenty-two year old girls, they all patiently tolerated… But what was happening during these days was not comparable to what happened seventeen years ago. This is something unbelievable… When there is such bombardment that your breath gets taken away, I do not know, maybe the soldiers are accustomed to it, but for civilians, women, elderly, children, it was such horror - seemed that your innards are about to burst. I do not understand how one can bombard the city by using systems "Grad", shells of large caliber - I am not a military person, but I know that some shells - as they are called, cannons or something like that - they are prohibited, so how can you really bombard a peaceful city in such way? !

It’s a horror of sorts, two direct hits on our building, mass shrapnel, there is nothing left in our building, not one glass, walls are blown to bits… Fortunately, no one died in our building.  But those young men who left to fight - who knows? We were still unable to visit the neighbors; we get in touch by phone, to ask each other, how are yours. We still don’t know anything about two of our neighbors, the lonely elderly Tibilovs: Nana Tembolovna and Geras, her husband. Where are they now? They were also in our basement.

The departure was a nightmare… There were no cars at all; there was no organized evacuation. People left as they could, caught acquaintances… In principle, I would not have left. But then, when we were told that Georgians burst through into the city twice… Prior to my departure, they already entered our courtyard, can you imagine, just came on foot, got out of their tanks and thus went around the city. When it got quiet, we heard steps, and one of three young girls who were with us, said: "Our people are here!" and ran out from the shelter, wanted to know what is happening in the city… Fortunately for her, he had just passed  the entrance, when she came out, she had time to see his back and ran back. But if he were to see her, I don’t know what he would have done with her. By this time, we heard the rumor that they go to cellars, throw in grenades, we have heard that they take girls, women as hostages… We were all women; there was only this old man with us, Tibilov Geras. And three young girls - my daughter and also two neighbors. And so, when these rumors have reached us, we ventured, and crammed all young the women in our neighbor Kabulov Valery’s car and got in ourselves, seven people total, and we departed.

I wouldn’t wish a road like this upon an enemy! We were travelling along the Ostrovsky street, and the shells fell either at the rear, or in the front of the car, Valera drove the car in zigzags. The aircraft has flown over us, even before we reached the Zarsky road… We took the Kusretsky road and a shell falls directly hundred meters ahead of us, shrapnel goes flying.  We got to the Kvernetsky Mountain, and at the ascent our gasoline tank was hit, and we did not even know… All the gasoline leaked out, the car wouldn’t go forward nor back, and we were in an open space, they began to shell us, and we ran into the forest.  We sensed that even there they will not leave us alone, and Valera said that we should go down the mountain. We started going down, thinking, maybe someone can at least pick us up one at a time… We started to stop cars but no one had gasoline, and nobody could give us a lift, all the cars were full… Fortunately, a halfway full car drove up; they took us up till Dzhava.

Behind us in a car was travelling Marina Kochieva, chief doctor of sanepidemstation; we were told a shell hit their car. When the shelling started, her daughter jumped into the bushes. And she was young, only 26 years old. And so she told us that when she jumped into the bushes, she was thinking only that, if it were to hit her, she wouldn’t not have been caught in some indecent posture; she bent her legs, folded her arms and sat… can you imagine? (crying)

This is how, with difficulty, we have reached Dzhava, and from there in various cars…

The city is in such a this state… Not one house left intact… Not one! Can you even imagine this? There are only rocks remaining from the Ostrovsky street, and even they collapsed ... This is worse than Stalingrad!

"The panel on documenting eyewitness testimony of the military operations in South Ossetia. August 2008". Vladikavkaz.

It is hard to name Georgian actions by other words. Number of victims in the republic has already reached 2000 people. This number looks like a small one, but for 60000 of the South Ossetian population it is a huge number. Every thirtieth citizen of the republic died in this massacre arranged by Georgian aggressors. For example, for Russia it is as well as to have a half of ten million Moscow to be killed in two days.

Facts of brutality, caused by aggressors astonish imagination. The most catastrophic situation happened in Leninogorsky district of the republic, which was left without protection and could not repel the aggression. There is no straight road from the district to Russia and that is why its inhabitants found themselves surrounded. They did not manage evacuating to Russia. Villages were deserted. Population left alive had to hide in forests. In Tzingar village Georgian tank draw attention of six foolish children. Soldiers caught all the kids and slaughtered them. One and all of Male population taken captive is massacred regardless of age, from sucking children to old men.

This is genocide.

My bet is the Georgian Olympics team members are glad to be in Beijing and not dodging the Russian Bear in their homeland.

I received an interesting email from a former US Special Forces soldier, and a day later, another from a retired USAF colonel. Both were almost identical as to the gist of what they were asking me...

"Karl, your focus on these facts is helping me to better understand what these idiots have done. But I have a question: is there anything you like or respect about our leaders?'

Hmm, how could I answer that in a 'timely fashion?'

The US medals tally at the Beijing 2008 Olympics show some surprise performances. To wit:

 1. George W Bush, Gold Medal, Beijing 2008 in the category of number of diapers soiled. The category was Power Crapping.  Little Lord George was the favorite to win the Gold because the entire world already knew he is full of bullshit in staggering proportions. His performance proves it, but that is only part of the story: W was also the only certified 'imbecile' entered in the event.  Apparently, no other nation felt it could outdo Bush in the bullshit department and he competed unopposed.

2. Richard B. 'Tricky Dick' Cheney, Gold Medal, in a new Olympic speed record for sliding around the track on his own sleaze. It was awesome.  Dickey was clocked at close to 60km/h in tennis shoes, chasing a US $100 dollar bill around the track, sort of like those greyhounds chase that mechanical rabbit. The Chinese were so amazed his pacemaker did not stop, thousands of them were chanting "See Dick Lun! See Dick Lun!" They will remember that performance for many years in the Beijing Bird Nest Stadium.  

3. Condoleezza 'Kindasleezzy' Rice, Bronze Medal, set a new fast-talk record for jaw-jabbering but her poor overall points totals cost her the Gold or Silver.. She got a 9.5 on speed but only a 2.0 on content.  The only reason she won the Bronze was because the Chinese judges knew she was utterly full of shit but she was talking far too fast for them to tell for certain. The judges apparently did think it was sort of cute the way she waved at them all the time like one of those little plastic China dolls you can buy to put on the car dashboard...the one with the head that bobs up and down and the hands on the end of little, round springs.

4. John McCain failed to win a medal.  You can't compete if you don't show up.  The addled, pending Republican Presidential candidate forgot where the games were, not a big surprise for a man who can't find the Iraq-Pakistan border.  Best guess is he apparently thought Beijing was somewhere in that vicinity.  

5. Barky Hussein Obama, the other pending candidate, failed to win anything.  He tried to compete under the name of 'Slick Wobama' but Chinese officials determined his papers were bogus. They kept trying to explain to him that 'The Grand Chessboard' was not an Olympic event. He became rude and indignant, insisting that 'since he is going to be the next US president' they should at least let him compete for best NWO Speech.  Beijing officials had a good laugh at that. The latest word is he is still being detained for psychiatric evaluation and is now knocking back three packs a day.  

I could go on. but there is real news to address.

The United States has a problem. Our nation cannot do anything right.  Nothing. We have a FUBAR strategic vision and a W FUBAR strategic plan.  I keep waiting for the UN, or G8, or some forum to demand that America change its name to the United States of Screw-Ups.

The Industrial Spin Cyclists of DC and their Zionist thug controllers are about to set a Gold Medal record of their own regarding little, but strategically-located Georgia. Yeah, those 'geostrategically imperative pipelines' are a bitch when someone starts playing games with a Superpower like Russia.

I was flabbergasted listening to a Georgian member of parliament being interviewed on BBC. The CIA must have done a "Jason Bourne thing" on his head. He was asked why Georgia would pull such a stupid stunt as attack, invade South Ossetia and kill Russian peacekeeper soldiers.

This idiot MP from Georgia did not even deny that Georgia attacked first, invaded South Ossetia or killed Russians. What he could not provide was even a 'half-assed excuse' as to why Georgia was dumb enough to do so.  Apparently, he is out of the CIA-Zionist-Mossad loop.

What was particulary stupefying was this Georgian MP acted surprised that Russia kicked their ass, to the point of him shaking and hyperventilating. He came across as 'rather Jewish' not to mention apoplectic.

This is as close as I can get in paraphrasing what he said because I was laughing too hard to catch it all: "We are a EUROPEAN nation and we have the same rights to freedom as any European nation. We are a free European democracy and we are not going to sacrifice our freedoms!  Russia has attacked an EU nation with aggression!"

Say what?  Uh, will someone please get this man a map and a tutor?  Georgia is in Central Asia or at best Eurasia, not Europe proper  What's next?  Will Afghanistan and Pakistan get the next offers for EU and NATO membership?  Can Vietnam be far behind?

What is surfacing, slowly, begrudgingly, is that the Georgian forces that invaded South Ossetia had both Zionist Israel and US military advisors. That is now a known fact, and even some of the BBC reporters are watching that issue very closely. If you recall, the DoD scheduled war games for Georgia for most of the month of July and evidently some of the 'advisors' stayed behind for this really stupid idea for the South Ossetia caper.

There is also evidence that NATO wannabe Ukraine is involved in this fiasco, too.  That could become extremely problematic for Ukraine because Russia not only provides most of its oil and gas, but they are also almost the sole source of  Ukraine pensions for its retirees and invalid citizens.  Most Americans are clueless about any of this, and even with all of the EU and NATO chatter about brining Ukraine in, Russia is a major benefactor to people of that confused country. Talk about biting the foot of the Russian Bear. The Russian winter may be coming sooner than usual for Ukraine if it turns out they, too, were involved in this fiasco.

This entire Georgian train wreck is patently, obviously a US, NATO, Zionist Israel attempt to 'put Russia in its place' and test Russian resolve. You can rely that these 'war planners' are now looking at each other...Oops! Most of the Georgian army now lies in ruin, many dead soldiers, and even their state infrastructure has been severely damaged and continues to be pounded by Russian jets. Georgia is, just today, trying to pull what's left of its troops out of South Ossetia.  The fighting is not over yet, however, and my bet is those Zionist, Israel and US military advisors (killers) are still trying to rally their smashed units back into the Russian meat grinder.

The other breakaway region of Abkhazia is now attacking Georgia, too, via its own partisan fighters. Nothing quite like getting the entire hornet's nest stirred up.  What monumental stupidity. There are also reports of a considerable Russian military build-up in Abkhazia just in case Stupid wants to stick a finger in that electrical outlet, too.

CNN International out of London has been holding firm to the Standard Official Zionist Lies as to what happened. They are blaming it all on Russia as 'aggression' and not saying a single word that it was Georgia that attacked first and Russia then retaliated.  US statements coming from the UN are clearly showing that the US is not getting its way in Security Council sessions over the Georgia issue.

One BBC reporter nailed President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili to the wall with a line of questioning:

"Excuse me, are you saying that Georgia attacked first? Your parliament just today declared formal war on Russia and is it your position that Russia is the aggressor? Your troops crossed into South Ossetia and started this!"

Their president went into the same routine about Georgia being a free nation and how Russia was destroying its ability to defend itself.  He accused Russia of 'aggression' and 'madness' and stumbled over and over again trying to explain away why Georgia attacked South Ossetia and killed the Russian peacekeepers. Saakashvili kept insisting that Russia had been preparing for this war for months.  Hmm, looks like Georgia had been the one doing all planning to attack, and did.

It was painfully obvious the Georgian President was not enjoying the Russian version of Shock & Awe as his nation was being systematically dismantled, spayed and neutered. Most of the Georgian army's hardware is now toast.

Come to think of it, this Georgia fiasco is reminiscent of the Lebanon fiasco that Israel blundered into.  It has that same putrid Kosher smell about it.

The BBC reporter pressed him on this hard: "You did not have the military power to challenge Russia at any time since 1991, what made you think you did now?"

Saakashvili just kept mumbling "free democracy", Russian "aggression", Russia is engaged in "ethnic cleansing," Russia is destroying Georgia's ability to defend itself, etc, ad nauseum.  He stressed many times that he had offered a 'cease fire' and Russia had not responded except with military firepower. He did not respond to a question about this 'war' coming right smack on the heels of US/DoD sponsored War Games that just ended in Georgia a few weeks ago in late July, 2008.

I had a hard time deciding if he was in shock or just stupid. He stated everything but the only two standard excuses: 1) we were stupid  or,  2) the "Devil" made me do it.

Uh...here's a hint to President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili ­ do not piss-off a Russian bear if you do not want to end up fighting it.  Every other nation in that region of the world, including Armenia, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan have figured out they can trust the New Russia a hell of a lot more than they can trust the US or the Zionist zhids of Israel.  Also, none of those nations consider themselves as 'European' nations.

Yeah, this is definitely a Georgie W. Bush plan that failed the moment he dreamed it up.  Yet another very nasty, dirty diaper. More dead people, no secure pipeline.  In fact, the only pipeline through Georgia and the only oil port and now piles of trash.

On Sunday morning in the EU, BBC is showing video of most Georgian troops 'withdrawing' (hauling ass) fast from South Ossetia.  Russia has withdrawn its troops from Georgia back into South Ossetia but Russian jets are still pounding targets inside of Georgia and will apparently continue reducing Georgia to junk until it completely pulls ALL of its troops from South Ossetia.  

Then BBC showed Bush in Beijing: "Laura and I just had the 'great joy and privilege' of worshipping in Beijing, China.  That just goes to show that God is universal and God is love. It just goes to show that no person or state should fear the influence of loving religion."  What hypocritical vomit.  What putrid puke.  What a shallow 'human being' we have as President of the United States.

My mother may have summed up Bush best when she was listening to a Pat Robertson-Paula Zahn interview.  "Paula, I am certain that 'this president' is a moral man and talks to God," said Pat.  My mother blurted out, "Yeah, well, Bush might talk to God but he only listens to Satan."

I feel sorry for the people of little Georgia who agreed to participate in this lame-brained Bush/Zionist idea. There are a least 2,000 dead in South Ossetia, due to another senseless Bush prank.  There are no figures out yet how many Georgians are dead or maimed thanks to this latest Bush failed caper.  I think W staged this as a sort of juvenile tantrum since nothing, zero, has gone his way and nothing IS going to go his way. I cannot remember a time in US history where a nation was so afflicted with such a lame duck, lame brain criminal of a president.

I also see the distinct possibility that Bush did this to see if Russia would

strike back. They did, ferociously, and you can rely that the planners in Washington, DC now know that any stupid Zionist plans by Bush or Israel regarding Iran will invoke a similar Russian response.

I had to seek a translator to understand what Putin said in Tehran months ago but his words were plenty clear:

"Any attack on Iran will be considered by Russia to be an attack on the national interests of Russia." 

I understood every word of that.  We shall see if Bush or his Black Poodle Secretary of State understood even one word of it.  With the huge oil and gas deals between China and Russia with Iran, yes, Russia and China have a direct national interest in any stupid moves by the Zionists on Iran.

My bet is the good people of Georgia now know what a total idiot President George W Bush is and will not fall for his dirty diapers duty again. Bush went to Beijing to play 'shits and giggles' with the Chinese while Georgians were dying in South Ossetia and Georgia.  I also bet Candy Rice is no longer welcome in Georgia. She crapped a diaper, too, and apparently NATO and Ukraine followed right along.

Saakashvili kept complaining that the KGB had infiltrated Georgia. Probably did, to keep tabs on what the CIA and Zionist zhids were up to. This was all staged and planned by the USA and their Zionist partners in crime...that grows more apparent by the hour.

The BBC news Sunday morning ended with video of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in South Ossetia visiting the injured troops and civilians and humanitarian aid from Russia was pouring into South Ossetia.  Meanwhile, Georgia is now saying it has a 'humanitarian catastrophe' that grows by the minute.

Let me guess, the US and Israel failed to plan for that?  Looks like Junior and his zhid pals might just have to send aid to the poor dupes in Georgia, eh?

Just out of Moscow: the Russian Black Sea naval fleet is staying in position to block any arms shipments into Georgia. So, Congratulations Saakashvili! By heeding the stupid calls from your stupid Zionist masters, there is now a naval blockade on Georgia.  Russian jets continue to pound targets in 'your' country until all Georgian troops are out of South Ossetia.  Russia has already removed its tanks and soldiers from Georgia proper.

Russia just proved it is firmly standing on the moral high-ground and sadly,  

 the US and Israel just proved they are just as sleazy - and deadly - as most of the world already knows.  The Western Zionist media is already trying to depict this as a "this will have long-term negative implications for Russia" situation but that is just for the Sheeple to read and accept as part of the Official Lie.

The reality of the matter is that Russia just showed the world it will not roll over for the true Axis of Evil: the Zionist triumvirate of the US, UK and Tel Aviv.

Stay tuned...I think matters are about to become very unpleasant for Zionist Israel and the US, and my bet is Russia has been preparing for months for any attack on Iran. Putin's words were very clear and the Western Zionist media does not want America to figure out that the US is playing with thermonuclear fire with its aims on Iran.

Just as I was emailing this, 11:20am Central Europe Time, Ukraine just announced that the Russian navy fleet that has blockaded Georgia will not be returning to its base in Ukraine.  Yeah, as I've written, the Zionists were behind this Georgia fiasco and now they are pitching a fit because they got kosher asses kicked in by Russia. Here we are in August and the Russian winter is about to start in Ukraine.  Russian natural gas, anyone?

Now the White House is mouthing-off about "the Russian response was disproportionate."  That's a whopper: "disproportionate"...yet more Zionist palaver for the American Sheeple.

They haven't seen anything yet if they think they can take over Iran with the same sleazy lies they used to annihilate the sovereign nation of Iraq and liquidate well over one million of its people.

You have to WAKE UP, America. Rattle their cages in DC and tell them "NO MORE."

The parks of Vladikavkaz, where not long ago every evening crowds of townspeople gathered, were in silence today. At the children's playgrounds kids were not visible. Some of the food stores are closed - owners of the shops are hurriedly sending the entire produce to the pre-frontline zone, in refugee camps. Lines of people formed at the blood donation stations. Citizens are collecting humanitarian aid for victims…

At the border of Vladikavkaz, there are two opposing streams of people.

The clothing of those who escaped the Tskhinval hell smells of char, in their hair – ashes.  They walk, reeling: the elderly treaded down slippers, women with busted knees, teenage girls, suddenly grown up over the days of the war.

Towards the refugees stretches a line of peacekeepers; boys in bright shirts, gray-haired men in camouflage. In their hands - hunting rifles and machine guns. In a few hours, President Medvedev will announce the termination of the peace enforcement - the militia are, naturally, unaware of this.

-- We go to Tskhinval at the call of our heart - tells us sulky Soslan. – Where did we get weapons? – He is surprised at our question. – We opened the storage, remaining since the time of the hostilities in the 90-s.

Volunteer Soslan, who in his peaceful life works in commerce, is headed for Tskhinval second time this week.

-- The authorities of the republic are trying to convince us not to go South, not to interfere with the military trying to establish order - said 42 year old Dzhemsher who was walking along with us. -- But this is our land and we are the defenders. If we do not go - who will respect us? All it took was a cry, and all the men of our street rose for a "clean-up" of Tskhinval.

“I’m only marrying an Ossetian girl.”

Lovely Albina shows us her plastic slippers, in which she marched several dozen kilometers in dirt. Her legs up to her knees were completely covered with bruises.

She would not leave Tskhinval until the last minute because of her younger brother who joined the militia.

-- On the second day of the shootings we heard a rumble of motors, we all poured into the street, and thought - Russian tanks will rescue us, - says Albina. -- Old ladies were crying with joy, the children were exulted. And suddenly the tank tower turned around towards us, and Georgians fire… Several people remained lying on the ground, the rest ran into basements. The last day I stayed on my knees, held a cross in my hands and prayed.

My sister and I were rescued by my friend that lived on the outskirts of the city. On the third day of bombing, she called and said that a large convoy of armored vehicles with Georgian infantry is headed for our area. We only managed to pull on our jeans and raced toward the village of Kufeti, where there’s a grove. Peacekeepers were fleeing along with us. They did not have any ammunition left, but they did not abandon their weapons.

From the soldiers we learned that Georgians, posing as the local militia, tightened white bandages around their sleeves. And when they were taken as one of our own in the dark based on the identification marks - they opened fire in order to kill. You cannot call them men; they are not familiar with the code of honor of the mountaineer.

We avoided Georgian ambush sites only thanks to our guide, who knew the local terrain very well.  But close by - below us, on the slopes of the forests, fighting went on. We were afraid to use our cell phones, so we turned them off. The soldiers said that Georgians are somehow able to detect us by the signals of the cell phones and set their targets into us and launch shells.

When we arranged a rest stop, women were placed in the middle by the peacekeepers; they themselves were located around the edges, covering us. The whole time, next to me was a 32-year-old Sasha, a peacekeeper from Tver. A captain, who was wounded himself, pulled me from clefts when my legs failed me, carried me across streams, helping me at the ascents, and did not release my hand from his.

The peacekeepers reported that they were shot at point-blank range. Sasha’s friend died in his arms from loss of blood.

We entered Dzhava around five in the morning, we returned to native Beslan on trucks. Upon arrival at my mom’s home, I literally collapsed at the steps. All the neighbors immediately gathered in our yard and kept repeating: "Albina and her sister were born the second time."

-- I am 36 years old - said Albina. -- I have already survived four wars: we were shot at in ‘89, ‘92, then in 2004 and 2008. How much more Ossetian blood must be spilled so that we do not have to hide in the cellars?

Above us a plane is taking off, and a woman covers her ears. She cannot bear the rumble of the motors; it is associated with the bombing for her.

Despite the endured, Albina considers herself the happiest person in the world: in the morning younger brother Sergey called and said that he is alive. And also she often recalls, how Sasha, captain of the peacekeepers Alexander Sergeevich, said, when everyone realized that were saved: "I will only marry an Ossetian girl, I have not met more courageous and patient women." They exchanged phone numbers. Albina – is a musician. She promised to sing her savior her favorite romance.

But to put together the previous band of musicians would be impossible. The violinist and cellist are dead, and nothing is known of the drummer who remained in Tskhinval.

“Mom was buried without a coffin"

Despite the late hour, the Republican Central Hospital is crowded. People sit on benches, at the steps of the admissions wing.

We are pushing through the crowd towards the lists of victims brought from combat zones.

The man in a felt hat is running his finger darkened from soot over one page, then the next and suddenly grabs his chest:

-- Tatiana is alive! In the trauma ward.

Leaning with his back towards the convoy, Teimuraz is smoking and retells:

-- We were running under the bombing through the forest. Shells were going off nearby. My wife has fallen: shrapnel cut up her head and legs. I carried her in my hands for three kilometers, then came out to a road, and there was a string of ambulance vehicles… The last car took her; there was only space on the floor.

Teimuraz with his wife managed to survive. And his neighbors Dzoevs remained in the old "moskvichonka" car by their burned home.

-- When we saw Georgian tanks on the streets, followed by infantry - we hid in the basement, and Aslan with his family ran to the car, resolved to escape - Teimuraz remembers. -- They were shot as partridges - from rifles at a point-blank range. The elderly grandmother tried to cover up the body three-year granddaughter in the back seat. The girl began to scream, and they killed her in cold blood…

-- These are people? These are barbarians! -- Entered into the conversation 40 year old Nelya standing next to us. -- We saw from the basement, as Georgian troops chased up the street, while laughing, three young boys ages 9 to 13 years. As if they were geese they chased them into a trap, shooting them in the legs. And then, when the boys had their backs to the wall of a house, they opened fire on them, as in the shooting range. All were shot.

We are going up to the fifth floor. On the bed sits with a bandaged head a 31-year-old Goya. As soon as he learned of the atrocities in Tskhinval, he got in his car, and went after his mother who remained in a dilapidated home. He merged to the tail of a military convoy of the ‘58th army in his "zhigulenka" car. And on the Zarskiy road they came under a gust of fire.

-- I jumped out of the car, and immediately it was shot from a tank. Then the tank shot at the Russian convoy with direct fire. It seems as though they were waiting for us. Snipers went to "work" at the scattered into the bushes soldiers. Purposefully they shot the guys in the groin. Near me the captain grabbed his stomach and sat down… Then we were explained to that there are many women-snipers in the Georgian army: Lithuanians, Ukrainians. They did not just kill, but shot in a very exact manner, knowing that most of the wounded will die in torment from loss of blood.

In that battle Goya lost a friend. Alan Aguzarov was only 26 years old. The boy died in a pit from shrapnel wound to the heart.

Stepan Itoev from the neighboring chamber also cannot forget this terrible night. The head of the operated-on 25-year-old man was covered in gauze bandages, and the hand was in plaster. On the road, he with his mother and father came across an ambush by Georgian troops. Men screamed: "Do not shoot, we are civilians, we have no weapons." The answer was a machine gun round. The woman managed to make a step forward, covering her son's body with hers, collapsed dead herself, and Stepan, deafened by the shots, fell into the bushes.

-- I listened as I was approached by two militants, one kicked me with his foot in my stomach, the second one gave a round from his machine gun, a bullet hit a rock and rebound half a meter from my face - remembers Stepan. -- I was taken for dead.

Georgian military tied a grenade to the foot of a young man. The charge was to explode as soon as someone decided to turn the young man from his stomach on his back.

-- Fortunately, I had a pocketknife, and I managed to cut the rope. I was wounded, trudged the woods as in delirium. I lagged along the side of the Zarskiy road. As I saw the enemy’s armored vehicles, I realized that I was surrounded. I leaned against a fallen tree and fell into unconsciousness. Only in 24 hrs was I found by Russian troops and was sent to the hospital.

Stepan’s father was wounded in the arm and leg; he wandered the ravines for two days. Just today, the young man learned that his father is lying in a hospital on the outskirts of the city.

The man’s relatives managed to find and bury his mother. They couldn’t get a coffin. The woman was lowered into the grave, wrapped in plastic bags. Stepan was lying on the operating table at that time.

-- I know that mother’s love saved me, did not let me die in the unconsciousness in the woods - the young man said quietly.

The young man turns over facing the wall, his shoulders shaking.

“Only five of us made it”

It is already clear that it wouldn’t be possible to identify many of fallen residents of Tskhinval and the surrounding area.

-- "Grad" beat down on us; only craters remained of the houses. The whole world should know about atrocities of the Georgian troops! -- Tells us a 53-year-old Ellina from the female wards, whose face is covered with bruises. -- These inhuman creatures knew that we are hiding in basements from bombings. So they specifically blew up pipes with their grenades, we stood three days in water up to our waist. And then, not to bother with trivial things, they blew up the dam near the village of Kehvi; entire areas were flooded. Old men came out on the streets due to the rising water, they were immediately killed.

-- We had children with us in the cellar, they all sat silently, being patient – was adding to the story of her neighbor a 32 year old Inga. -- Teenage boys feeling themselves to be adult men would run to the bakery two blocks away to bring old people some bread. In the midst of the shelling, bread was still being made. When bombs demolished their building, they put the dough out in the open air using a single remaining oven, baking in three shifts. And then the bakery was blocked off by Georgian militants. We didn’t eat for a few days. Pack of rice was shared amongst twenty people. We chewed on raw grain, and we survived off that.

Ellina remembers, as the Georgian military burned garages, cynically shot at the cemetery tombstones. They also destroyed a chapel and a memorial cemetery of the defenders of Tskhinval of 1992. The tank passed over their graves several times and razed them to the ground. Ellina along with her elderly sister decided get out of the city, when militants started to throw grenades into the basements of the neighboring houses.

-- One time the Georgians were very close, we could see their yellow NATO boots from the basement. They are swearing at us - Ossetians – using inappropriate words, that we seized their land. As soon as they left, we got out and rushed into the forest, where a neighbour had an old car hidden. We ran “on all fours”, only praying, that our cuttlebone does not brake. And then we came under fire. We have managed to break through as well but these inhumane creatures set up a metal cable across the road. We have not noticed it in the darkness and dust; the entire roof of the car was taken off.

Ellina lost consciousness, came to only in the ambulance car.

-- We were still fortunate - Valentina said quietly, lying on a nearby bed. – We were operated on and saved.  My brother just came by, and told me that eighty people left from a neighboring village in that terrible night, only five made it to Dzhava. How long will we have to collect the remains of people throughout the forests?

Relatives who came to visit the wounded residents of South Ossetia told that there were villagers who said: "Let us surrender to Georgians." There are stories that in the village Dzhunari adult women with white tissues in their hands came out and were shot at close range. In Tsunari lot of young men were taken prisoners, nobody knows about their fate.

The door to the room swings open, in breaks in a three-year child; after seeing burnt, mutilated faces of the wounded women, he starts to bawl loudly.

-- My boy, grandson! You don’t recognize your own grandmother? – Extends her arms to him Valentina, all covered in green ointment.

The boy throws himself into the arms of his grandma; this time it is Valentina crying.

"Do I really have to shoot my own people?"

Inga, who was beaten with kicks by three militants, said that now she can not bear hearing Georgian speech, she starts to shake, her blood pressure rises. "If it were up to me, I would have annihilated them all" - shouts the woman in fury.

-- Come to your senses - said to her Vera from the neighboring bed. – In our crowd fled Georgian women that have been married to Ossetians, and Armenians -- Georgian militants were firing at all, they did not discern nationality…

After stepping out of the hospital, we go to the center of Vladikavkaz -- Shaldoni area. Historically, it came to be that Georgians settled in this is part of the city for many years.

-- Yesterday, there was a meeting among the Georgian population of North Ossetia, we signed a formal appeal to the Government of Georgia asking to cease hostilities in South Ossetia and Abkhazia - tells Naziko, the worker of a produce store. -- Here I have a home, kids, we run our own shop. My son works in the FSB. During the war in Chechnya, he fought on the side of the Ossetians…

Yesterday Naziko gave home to a refugee, an unknown grandmother from Tskhinval who was left without shelter. Today, the woman is about to go to the center where they are taking humanitarian aid for victims. She will take a bag of clothes, bread and cigarettes.

88-year Russudana Zaharovna – is Georgian. Since 1953, she and her husband lived in Vladikavkaz.

-- My husband and I get along very well, I have two sons in Tbilisi, but we are unable to reach them. I do not know what happened to them. My legs gave way due to stress – cries the old woman. -- I no longer turn on the TV. I am afraid. We were horrified when we learned that the Abkhazians bombed the mountains. We have relatives living in those villages. They are also no news from them! After all we are such mixed group of people that we have forgotten ourselves who are - Georgians, Ossetians…

Stepan Razin Street was once inhabited by Georgians. In the 90s many of them left. Today there are only five courtyards remaining, which house the people of this nationality.

-- I have a sister remaining in Georgia – an Ossetian, a heap nephews - tells one of the residents of the area. -- The other day we got in touch over the phone, she wept. She told me that in Tbilisi all young men were called to fight. They took her 24-year-old son. He left with tears: "Mama, do I really have to shoot at my own Ossetian people". All Ossetians who live in Georgia are being sent to the front…

Yesterday on all city posts in Vladikavkaz ads have appeared: "Dear drivers, residents of the republic! The leadership of UGIBDD Ministry of Internal Affairs of RIS - Calls you to feel a sense of compassion for people who are on the other side of the ridge, towards our brothers. We understand that weddings and feasts were planned in advance – and it was impossible to reschedule.  Due to this fact, we ask you to behave with restraint – do not shoot, do not honk on the streets and roads of the republic."

None of the locals had to be asked twice…

Vladikavkaz-Beslan-Moscow

The following is a statement by Wanda Dzhioeva, 20 years old, a 3-rd year student at GGAU (GorskyAgriculturalUniversity). At the time of the described events she was in Dzhava.

“I go to school here in Vladikavkaz, at GGAU, studying for a commodity-technologist. During my summer vacation I went home to visit my parents in Dzhava. There we could hear all the bombardments, but up to the 8^th it was relatively calm in Dzhava. Early in the morning, on the 8th of August, Georgian aircrafts arrived and began bombing Dzhava. We live in a private home. We didn’t immediately know what to do: we started to run around frantically. We wanted to go down into our basement, but were afraid; what if the bombing destroyed our house, and then we wouldn’t be able to get out from under the wreckage. Therefore we didn’t go in the basement. We have a large family: mother, father, brother, three sisters and myself. The youngest sister is 15 years old. Following the bombing there is destruction in Dzhava.  But compared with Tskhinval they seem small. Half an hour after the bombing, my brother found a car and we left for North Ossetia: us - were girls. But my father, mother and brother remained in Dzhava. They were afraid for us and thus sent us off. In Tskhinval we have relatives. We still don’t have any information on some of them. We know that some of them were able to get out. Currently my sisters are in the village of Batako with my aunt. And I - in the dormitory at GGAU.”

Recorded by M. Tezievoy in Vladikavkaz on August 13, 2008.

The following is a statement by Arina Dzhioeva, 16 years old. At the time of the described events she was in Dzhava.

-- The early morning of August the eighth at 6:30, as we were all still asleep (my brother was home, father was not), an aircrafts arrived in Dzhava.  We did not understand right away that the aircrafts were from Georgia. We thought that the ones that arrived were Russian, ours.  They made a circle over Dzhava, we watched them. Then they made the second round. We still thought that these were our planes that arrived. Then suddenly, when they came out the third time, when they reached near our house, the planes began to bomb. They bombed around our house. We live in Dzhava on the street, 66. We have a private home. It is located at the top of the village of Dzhava. A bomb immediately landed there. And my grandmother was in the house at the time. She was still sleeping. We were afraid for her, ran into the house, dragged her out of bed right away, and ran into the forest all together. There is a forest nearby. It’s close by. All of us ran there. Our neighbors did also, all of them. Houses were falling apart. Nothing is left where the bombs fell. So it was. I am 16 years old. I was born in 1991. An elder told me that we used to have a two-story house. The house was destroyed in the 90s. Nothing was left of it. There was no aid given. Damages have not been redressed. When our house was destroyed, my father built a new smaller house with his own hands. We lived in this small house. Then some years later my dad bought a house nearby. That is where we now live. My mother, father, two brothers, I, grandmother. My eldest brother is 17 years old. Younger brother is 14 years. I want to return to Dzhava, but parents are afraid for me.

Fox News Reporter Says ‘Humiliated’ Georgian Forces Firing on Journalists

http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=151953

"This is an irregular, undisciplined, chaotic, angry, humiliated Georgian force. They don't listen to orders. They fire on civilians, from what we have just seen."

Kochiyeva Valentina Georgievna, born in 1953

Chkalov St, 46. Works as an instructor at a Boarding school.

Me and my son, together with our neighbors, 8 people in total, were sitting in the basement of our house. My son- Valiyev Vladislav, a student in Stavropol, was visiting Tskhinval as part of his co-op program. The basement was small, there was no water, electricity or natural gas and no washrooms. The cells phones were out of power and we did not know what is going on around, we could not call our family and friends… We spent time in this fashion until the 10^th, five o’clock in the morning. In the morning, when it was quiet, we stepped out. There were corpses lying on the streets…

There were 8 of us in the car. From Tskhinval until Kusret village, it’s no more then 3 km. During this short stretch of the road, I counted 17 cars-burnt and shot at… When I came here (i.e. Vladikavkaz), I found out that my second son, a student from Zheleznovodsk has left for Tskhinval, as a volunteer.

My neighbors have been murdered: deaf-mute photographer Irakliy Kozayev and his mother. His wife Eka, a Georgian, is now a refugee, she came here as well.

The Documentation Group to the accounts of eyewitnesses to the military actions in South Ossetia, Vladikavkaz.

Kozayeva Marina Pavlovna., born in 1965.

Tskhinval, Gafez St. 6/31 head of the branch of Polygraphic union of South Ossetia.

My 2 sons are fighting together with the other men; they are in the resistance brigade. And we, together with our neighbors, spent most of the time in the basement of our building. It is located at the very end of the city; beyond it-there is Georgia. Altogether there were 10 of us in the basement.

We spent the entire first night of bombardments in the basement, it was impossible to get out; such was the strength of the shooting. In the morning, rumors started to go around, that the Georgians are controlling Znaur region and they also took the villages near the city. We did not believe it. Then suddenly tanks entered the city from the south and rolled along our street. We were very happy, we thought-finally the Russians came… We even ran towards them. Two tanks separated from the column and started to move towards our building, and then we saw Georgian writing on them. Then we immediately turned around and ran back to the basement; meanwhile the tanks circled around our building, stopped and began firing at it. Then they drove on our street towards the posts. One of these 2 tanks was hit by our boys, and another one fell into the irrigation canal. These guys who hit the tank were all around 18 to 24 years old, and they were armed only with automatic rifles, one machine gun and one grenade launcher.

Then things became more silent … During the night from Friday to Saturday someone has told us, that tanks are again in city and have passed through Shanghai (slang name for a neighborhood in the southern district of Tskhinval) … We were told to leave this area, and in the morning, around 5 o’clock, when the situation became calmer, we moved to the northern part of the city. There we hid in a basement till morning of the tenth. The group of our neighbors has left that morning through Tbet, we too thought to leave, but then we were told that it is impossible to go through Tbet. We drove our UAZ (car model)  through Kvernet. . In one place, four people jumped towards us from the bushes, Tskhovrebova Elina with her mother, and a husband with wife. They were driving together, when their car was fired at and hit their 2 year old son who has died on the spot… They asked to take them with us, but there was no more room in our car and we had to leave them there, on a road. I do not know, what happened to them.

On the road we were stopped by some guys, who told us that their car broke down, and asked us to tow it. They seemed suspicious to us, but we towed them for a while. Then they unhooked their car from us, drove by themselves for a little bit and started firing at us. We jumped out of the car at once and rushed to the bushes along the road. Then, when these guys have left, we once again have climbed in the car and have continued our journey. When we reached Dzau, there were many people around. We drove slowly then, giving way to a military column.

My sons have remained in the city …I do not know the whereabouts of my daughter in law.  Neighbors said that in the morning of the eighth, the Georgians were going down to the basements and taking away young women. They also said that the Georgians were bringing out the men and shooting them… They killed a lot of men in this way.

All those who has passed through Тbet, spoke of a burnt car in which there were five children's skulls…

95 year old Georgian woman in Tskhinval was shot by Saakashvili’s soldiers. The heavily wounded grandma Tamara keeps crying and cursing Mikhail Saakashvili. “It is better to die, that to live in shame from the fact that you are Georgian!”-says Tamara Kasradze-“I have sons in Georgia. So it seems like I was shot by my own children”.

The war caught grandma Tamara at home, in the suburb of Tskhinval. The elderly woman was cleaning her potato field, when the Georgian forces started yet another bombardment of the civilian population. None of her neighbors survived,-all were killed.

The bleeding Georgian woman was carried to the tent hospital by the Russian peacekeepers. Despite heavy shrapnel wound, she was conscious and told about herself.

According to grandma Tamara, the doctors have concluded, that all men in Kasradze family are in the military. Her 4 sons live in Georgia. During the time grandma Tamara was in the refugee camp, none of them bothered to look for her or simply to call Ossetia and verify if their own mother is still alive…

-These are my sons, how could they do this?-whispers grandma Tamara, exhausted from the loss of blood.-I do not want to live in this world anymore. How would I look my neighbors in the eyes? My children, to whom I dedicated my life, they are the ones that killed me! They are not humans, they are animals.

The doctors do everything they can to enable grandma Tamara to walk again. But the old age shows itself; the condition of the poor woman is extremely difficult. The medics are not giving any prognoses.

-Unfortunately she is literally melting away, she stopped getting up and refuses to eat,-doctors say.

The investigation committee at the Public Prosecutor Office (PPO) of the Russian Federation declared, that foreign mercenaries participated in the attack on South Ossetia, besides Georgian troops. “During the interrogations of Tskhinval residents, we gathered data indicating that citizens of several foreign states have participated in the attack on the city”,- reported the assistant chairman of PPO Igor Komissarov. He did not elaborate on the exact countries of origin of these people.

The Secretary of the Security Council of the unrecognized republic, Anatoly Barankevich, also confirmed that not all of the attackers were Georgians. “I can say with certainty, that among the killed there were several Slavs, and one of the Georgian tanks was operated by the servicemen with Asian features. But I can tell you for sure, that all of the were high on drugs”,- he noted, adding that in the pockets of all of the dead, without exception, used and whole injections of morphine have been found. According to Barankevich, the influence of narcotics can explain the unbelievable brutality with which the attackers dealt with local residents.

At the end of the battle for Tskhinval 5 Georgian tanks and one military vehicle of foreign production have been captured. “When we captured their first tanks, we could not drive them, because our tanks are old T-55 ones, and they had new ones”-the chairman told ITAR-TASS.

 TSKHINVAL BEFORE ... 

...............  

... AND AFTER THE "DEMOCRATIC" CHANGES BROUGHT BY GEORGIAN RUTHLESS WAR CRIMINALS. 

Declares: 

We come to you with an urgent message. We are sure that by now your News station has both heard and broadcasted the latest on the Georgian vs. South Ossetian war. However, I was alarmed to see how the news were covered. One of your headlines stated Russian air raid killed and wounded hundreds. Your station, as well as all other international news stations, has been grossly misinformed. This is due to the fact that the only news correspondents covering this story are all located in Georgia – none are located in South Ossetia. No one is covering their side of the story.  

This has now lead to people believing that Russia is responsible for killing innocent people, whereas the truth is that those casualties were all killed by Georgian air jets, tanks, and armed soldiers. The only reason Russia has sent its tanks to Georgia is to oust the Georgian troops and to protect its people from the war crimes that are being committed against them by the Georgian government, trying to wipe out the whole population of South Ossetia. 

The “democratic” Georgian government has blocked all Russian television and radio channels, being aired in Georgia. As well, they blocked all Russian and Ossetian websites. Besides that, during these days our website was two times atacked and disabled by hackers. Mr.Saakashvili and his government do not want the regular Georgians and people all over the world to know the truth.  

Check this

Here are some web sites presenting the real story. After reviewing them, we are sure that you will see for yourself, the importance of covering the story that the world has been getting a skewed and misinformed report on the war in South Ossetia.  

http://english.pravda.ru 

http://en.rian.ru/ 

http://www.russiatoday.ru/ 

According to the agency Associated Press, website of the Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, who has suffered hacker attacks, was moved to the American city of Atlanta.

The head of the company based in Atlanta Tulip Systems Inc. reported that "during the weekend the site was blocked by Moscow and was subjected to hacker attacks". As Georgian in nationality, it offered its assistance, and sites president.gov.ge and rustavi2.com, web page of Rustavi-2 TV company, have been moved to Atlanta.

According to the company, access to the sites has been restored, however attacks from Moscow and St. Petersburg are continuing.

Georgian Internet currently isn't experiencing the best days. The vast majority of Georgian news sites and sites of ministries and departments of the country have not worked for several days, or work with large interruptions because of attacks by Russian cyber patriots. Thus the Georgian Foreign Ministry website, the whole day yesterday displayed a collage of 12 photos of Saakashvili and Hitler.

As we can see, Russian attacks scare not only the president of Georgia, who experienced a panic attack today in Gori, but also his site.

“Almost all Georgian soldiers’ bodies were buried in order to avoid cholera spread”, Gagloeva said, emphasizing that there were many of them.

She added that in case Georgian authorities request “they will be given possibility to exhumate and take away the remains according to the international norms.” It says in “Kommersant” that there are still dead bodies of Georgian soldiers on flooded roadsides near burnt Georgian tanks in Tskhinval. But most of them are on the southern outskirts of the city known as the Oak Grove. The correspondent saw people set fire onto one of the bodies on the roadside, one could only see hands and feet in the fire.

“Why should we bury them?” one of the militia men says indignantly. “They didn’t have mercy for us, why should we be merciful? It is not Christian like, but were they Christian like to us? And why does not Saakashvili take them back?”

Meanwhile, South Ossetia buried first volunteers who had died in fights with the Georgian troops. According to the newspaper, yesterday, August, 11, one citizen of Alagir and five citizens of Vladikavkaz were buried.

Vitaliy Aguzarov, a 28-year-old Alagir citizen, set off to South Ossetia immediately after he heard that a military operation against Tskhinval had begun. He crossed the border in his car at night, got under heavy fire when he was leaving Djava and was killed.

They managed to transfer him to Alagir only after two days when fire around Tskhinval went down. The ceremony was held as any other typical Ossetian funeral- no official speeches, no salute, nothing revealing the man died at war. “He proved a real man,” some old man told me. “He was not armed; he wanted to get some weapons when he got to Tskhinval. But he did not make through. How many more of them fell there? Nobody knows. But we know for sure that there were many.”

The funeral did not last more than an hour. After the coffin with the body of the volunteer was carried out of his parents’ house, the women surrounded it and began crying loudly and cursing those “who started the war”. The men did not try to calm down the women, they just looked at the coffin clenching their fists, the newspaper says. When the grave was covered with ground one of the men said: “We must take revenge for Vitalik – I am going to Tskhinval today.”

According to the paper, volunteers in Vladikavkaz are buried in the same way as in Alagir – nothing reveals that people died at war.

In the early hours of August, 8, large-scale military actions between Georgian and South Ossetian troops began. According to the data provided by the Russian side, more than 2 thousand South Ossetian civilians were killed. The death toll in South Ossetia goes for thousands. Georgian officials reported 45 killed and 400 wounded form their side. Refugees witness that as a result of result of heavy bombings and fire from the Georgian side all buildings in the capital of South Ossetia are destroyed. Last night as a result of heavy fire in Tskhinval and surrounding areas at least 12 people were injured.

Today Dmitry Medvedev the President of the Russian Federation announced that he had taken the decision to stop the operation jf bringing Georgia to peace.

The comparison of the pictures below and analysis of the last several days' events can easily prove, that Georgia was well prepared for this brutal action.  

And not only be means of military... 

Here are just some out of numerous facts of disinformation and lies coming from Georgian and western media in order to show brutality and aggressivity of Russians. This is not a war against Ossetian nation, which had to be annihilated within 3-4 days . This is a war against Russia. 

Only blind people can’t see the similarities and differences on these three pictures shown on all major TV channels in America and Europe 

The “poor guy” was screaming without his shirt on. Then he decided to change his clothes and start the theatre action once again (or may be the other way around) but for some reason in a different location.  

The “dead” first was laying down on his back. Then all of the sudden he decided to turn over.  

Children can not lie. Look into the eyes of this poor boy. Does he suffer or feel any pain? Look at the faces of the other people on this picture. And by the way his “dead” grandmother and those soldiers were shown on three more pictures taken in the different locations. 

Now you can see the same soldier (or actor) on the photos also taken on different days and in different locations.  

The next sample of how the deads can move quickly, when there is a reason for that. See wherу the poor guy lays down on a first picture.  

And then (who knows, why) he decided to find a better place, close to the curb ...  

But he keeps unchanged the pose. He probably likes it...  

To be continued. 

The residents of Tskhinval told that during the shelling and bombing of the city, they were in the basement and didn’t dare raise their heads. Many attempted to evacuate their children, but in many cases it was unsuccessful. It was impossible to determine the time of day, whether it was day or night, since the shelling lasted almost continuously with only minor interruptions. The firing was conducted with heavy artillery, including systems “Grad”.  “There was such noise in the basement, as if a lightning would constantly strike about a meter away from you.  After some time has passed, people stopped paying attention to the explosions – that was abnormal.”

A resident of Tskhinval said: “I live on the 9^th floor, and during one of the breaks in shooting, I came upstairs and looked out my windows. It was unbelievable – instead of a city, there was only an endless fire and smoke left.  The impression was as if they purposely tried to level the city with the ground.  I would not wish it upon my enemies to witness what we have.”

As witnessed by a resident Ilona Dzhioeva of Dmenis village of the Tskhinval region of South Ossetia, “the Georgian army war planes carried out a bombing of the homes of peaceful residents, and then the soldiers entered the village, which at close range shot old people, women and children." Those that fled Georgians shot at close range; the wounded were finished off by shots to their heads.

The rally taking place in Tallinn in support of Georgia ended after the a group lead by Dmitry Linterom entered the scene, carrying slogans "Georgia, stop the war" and "U.S. and Georgia - the new fascists."

A small group of people with slogans came from the Embassy of the Russian Federation. At first, between the two sides a scuffle emerged, but then the rally organizers called on the participants to behave calmly and not to succumb to provocations. Gradually, members of the rally in support of Georgia dispersed.

At a rally in support of Georgia in Ratushnyi Square in Tallinn, several hundred people gathered, carrying slogans condemning the actions of Russia in South Ossetia. Speaking at a rally temporary charge of the Georgian Embassy, Zurab Marshaniya, urged the public to provide Georgia with comprehensive, including military, assistance.

Participating in the rally were the deputies of the Riigikog, Marko Mihkelson and Andres Herkel, as well as a nationalist Yuri Bem.

It happened in the town of Gori. Saakashvili was responding to questions from the media, but after looking up at the sky, got nervous, and said in English, "Let's get out of here!" and unexpected by all, including, his personal bodyguards, ran away.

His bodyguards caught up with him, lay him on the ground and covered him with flak jackets for safety. After some time, they raised him and took him to the car.

What so scared Mikhail Saakashvili - had remained a mystery. Versions are different - either Supreme Commander in Chief of the Georgian troops saw an aircraft, or heard the cannonade of their own guns.

Interestingly, those who watched the recording, note that the camera in the hands of the camera operator, with the exception of the seconds in pursuit after the Georgian president, virtually did not shake.
