1920 year. The family of Anna Kelekhsaeva was living in the village of Kvernet. Ossetian villages blazed in fire in South Ossetia, the Georgians did not spare either women or children - the open genocide of the Ossetian people began.
“Many years have passed, but every day before the eyes - the brutal faces of the women and men of the village of Ered, who, like real predators, tore out the innocent citizens alive,” is recalling Zarina Gagieva, who, together with her family, fell into the hands of these nonhumans on March 18, 1991.
The tragic "luck"
The genocide of the Ossetian people of 1920, was actively hushed up in Soviet times to prevent the development of ethnic hatred. Despite the fact that they tried not to publicize the brutal crimes of Georgia, the Ossetian stories, saturated with blood and bitterness, were passed from mouth to mouth, from generation to generation. So, the truth about the bloody pages of the history of the Ossetian people has come down to our days.
It is believed that history repeats itself in the form of farce. Unfortunately, Ossetian history is repeated over and over again in the form of tragedy. Almost every generation has been scorched by war for centuries. Such a neighborhood defined the fate - as a test. And no matter what the punishers are called - princes, Mensheviks, communists or democrats - the bestial grin of Georgia remains unchanged. It would seem that what could be worse than the death of a mother in front of a small child? The painful death of her son. Both tragedies are in the fate of one woman ...
In South Ossetia, there are many people who remember the stories of the eldest of the family about the genocide of the 1920s.
28 years have passed since the day of one of the most monstrous tragedies in the history of South Ossetia – the Zar. Tragedy. On May 20, 1992 33 people: women, children and the elderly were shot by Georgian neo-fascists on the Zar road. It was called the "road of life," it became the road of death.
We, Ossetians, are deservedly proud of the heroism of our countrymen, who showed great miracles of courage and resourcefulness, defending their homeland in the Great Patriotic War. We are proud of the number of Heroes of the USSR and awarded with state awards for their exploits. Like a balm for the soul of each of us are the words of General Tyulenev, that "the word =the Ossetian proudly sounded on all fronts" of the war.
At one of the conferences of the South-Ossetian Research Institute Director Robert Gagloity, touching on the issues of the genocide of the Ossetian people, stated that two attempts occurred during the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century - the phases of the genocide of the people of South Ossetia. According to him, twice the Georgian fascists tried to break the will, erase historical memory, destroy national identity, deprive the homeland, and physically destroy the population of South Ossetia.
A hundred years have passed since the genocide unleashed by Georgia against the Ossetians in 1920. Witnesses of those terrible events are not alive, but their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren remember well the stories of the elders, who had to experience the whole horror of the Georgian fascism, which originated in those distant years. And to be more precise - Georgian Nazism has deeper historical roots.
