The destroyed city, a pungent smell of smoke and blood: memories of the August 2008 war by the employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of South Ossetia

The war of August 2008 found Elbrus Kochiev at the outpost of the OMON of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of South Ossetia. He, along with his colleagues, was waiting for an order, which still did not come. Instead, there was a war. Elbrus remembered those few days from August 8 to 12 for the rest of his life, as he himself told IA “Res”.

At that time, Kochiev was working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the Department for the Protection of Public Order. He was the Deputy Head of the Department.
