August 2008. How it remained in our memory.

Olga Chibirova, a resident of Tskhinval, cannot forget the summer of 2008 to this day, because the five-day war left a huge imprint on her health. It was on these days, after sitting all day in the well, she got a leg disease and today she can hardly move.

As the eyewitness of the events of 08.08.08 is recalling, on the night of August 7-8, when the Georgian aggressors attacked the sleeping city, Chibirova was at home alone. Her son was fighting, and her grandchildren were sent to North Ossetia.

Georgy Biboevich (Gega) is one of the patriots of Ossetia killed by the Georgian aggressors, a father of Robert Ostaev, a deputy of the South Ossetian parliament. On May 20, 1992, on the road through the village of Zar, a convoy of refugees from South Ossetia was stopped by the Georgian armed formations and shot at point-blank range with machine guns. Ostaev's parents were in this ill-fated car.

For centuries, the inhabitants of South Ossetia have been fighting for their right to life in their native land. Thanks to the aggressive actions of their southern neighbors, the Ossetians know that hell exists on earth.

On April 28, 1991, the history of South Ossetia was replenished with another tragic date. Seven unarmed residents of the village of Tsinagar in Leningor district – Otar Margiev, Givi Bibilov, Slavik Chertkoev, Zaur Khubulov, Otar Khubulov, Tengiz Dudaev and Taimuraz Khubulov, defending their pastures from cattle rustling, were killed by the Georgian aggressors.

The cars with the bodies of the dead left behind a dense scarlet line of blood. This is how the Zar tragedy was remembered by the eyewitness Gennady Khubaev.

Gennady also learned about the incident.

As the eyewitness told the correspondent of the IA "Res", he and his friends had immediately ran towards the hospital.

In 1920, South Ossetia was shedding blood tears. Menshevik Georgia was destroying the population of South Ossetia. Representatives of Georgia now present what was happening then as a class struggle between the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks. However, the facts speak for themselves. People were killed, guided not by their political views, but exclusively by their nationality.
