Georgian operation "Clean Field"

Georgian operation "Clean Field" - is not but the genocide against the Ossetians
On the night of August 7-8, 2008, the criminal regime of M.Saakashvili in defiance of the international law unleashed the aggression against the people of South Ossetia.
In the first minutes of the invasion, the Georgian troops delivered a rain of rockets and shells on the sleeping capital of the Republic, the city of Tskhinval. Civilian residents of the city and practically unarmed Russian peacekeepers got under fire of multiple rocket launch systems Grad, large-caliber howitzers and tanks. At the sunrise, Georgian attack aircraft joined the pre¬planned killing of the Ossetian people and Russian soldiers. They dropped internationally banned cluster bombs on the Ossetian towns and villages. It was the beginning of the third genocide against the Ossetian people in the history of "independent Georgia".
In the morning of August 8, when peaceful Tskhinval was already in ruins, assault detachments of the Georgian troops supported by tanks and artillery systems entered the city. The amok soldiery flushed with the smell of blood and success of the first hours killed everybody on the way. Georgian threw hand grenades into basements of the houses where old men, women and children tried to seek shelter. They fired over the sights from tanks and grenade-launchers at windows of residential buildings, hospitals and schools;
they smashed and rolled in the dust and dirt of Tskhinval streets the monuments to the victims of 1992 genocide by the tracks of their heavy combat vehicles...
The bloody massacre began also in Ossetian villages and checkpoints of the Russian peacekeepers. In the first hours of the aggression, ten residential settlements of South Ossetia were wiped off from the face of the earth. In Ossetian villages Georgian tankmen just for fun crashed women and children with tracks of their vehicles. "Elite" Georgian commandoes copying "the deeds" of fascist SS troops burnt the Ossetian people alive in their houses and sheds, and so-called Georgian "peacekeepers" killed wounded Russian soldiers forgetting about the honor and dignity.
Dozens of thousands of refugees tried to escape from South Ossetia under bombardment and shelling. The way to the life-saving Roki Tunnel became a real road of death for them. Getting the range to the only road running towards the Russian border, Georgian guns accurately fired at convoys of refugees. Georgians had no mercy upon anybody, in cold blood they fired at civil buses, ambulances and private cars and trucks.
But Tskhinval resisted... In a basement of the city hospital Ossetian surgeons in incredible conditions saved lives of wounded people. Outmanned and outgunned the Russian peacekeepers surrounded in the outskirts of the city fought on bravery to repel the attacks of the aggressor. Without electricity, water and food under the massed intense fire the peaceful people continued their unequal fight. Face to face with the ruthless and guileful enemy they have held out and defended their right to freedom and independence.
What a high price of this victory! The Georgian gamble cost the lives of two thousand Ossetians and 74 Russian peacekeepers, several hundred people were wounded, more than 40,000 became refugees. Once the flourishing city of Tskhinval has been destroyed to smash, Ossetian villages have been ruined... These crimes of the Georgian soldiery and its Fuhrer are not forgettable and forgivable.
But the life goes on. The unbowed Ossetian people will overcome this hard time, restore the country, recover from the effects of the war, and children again will go to school. The music of D.Shostakovich and P.Chaikovski played on the ruins of Tskhinval by maestro Vatery Gergiev and Orchestra of the Mariinksy Theater became a bright symbol of the Ossetian revival and tragic monument to the killed.
This photo album is devoted to the heroic fights of the Ossetian people against the Georgian aggressor, memory of the fallen for the freedom of their Motherland, and act of bravery of the Russian peace¬keepers who have done fully their military duty.
We express gratitude to all residents of Tskhnval, Russian and foreign journalists who responded to our request and provided the documents on genocide against the Ossetian people, and war crimes of the Georgian regime.

Georgian operation "Clean Field"

Georgian operation "Clean Field" - is not but the genocide against the Ossetians
On the night of August 7-8, 2008, the criminal regime of M.Saakashvili in defiance of the international law unleashed the aggression against the people of South Ossetia.

In the first minutes of the invasion, the Georgian troops delivered a rain of rockets and shells on the sleeping capital of the Republic, the city of Tskhinval. Civilian residents of the city and practically unarmed Russian peacekeepers got under fire of multiple rocket launch systems Grad, large-caliber howitzers and tanks. At the sunrise, Georgian attack aircraft joined the pre¬planned killing of the Ossetian people and Russian soldiers. They dropped internationally banned cluster bombs on the Ossetian towns and villages. It was the beginning of the third genocide against the Ossetian people in the history of "independent Georgia".

In the morning of August 8, when peaceful Tskhinval was already in ruins, assault detachments of the Georgian troops supported by tanks and artillery systems entered the city. The amok soldiery flushed with the smell of blood and success of the first hours killed everybody on the way. Georgian threw hand grenades into basements of the houses where old men, women and children tried to seek shelter. They fired over the sights from tanks and grenade-launchers at windows of residential buildings, hospitals and schools;
they smashed and rolled in the dust and dirt of Tskhinval streets the monuments to the victims of 1992 genocide by the tracks of their heavy combat vehicles...
The bloody massacre began also in Ossetian villages and checkpoints of the Russian peacekeepers. In the first hours of the aggression, ten residential settlements of South Ossetia were wiped off from the face of the earth. In Ossetian villages Georgian tankmen just for fun crashed women and children with tracks of their vehicles. "Elite" Georgian commandoes copying "the deeds" of fascist SS troops burnt the Ossetian people alive in their houses and sheds, and so-called Georgian "peacekeepers" killed wounded Russian soldiers forgetting about the honor and dignity.
Dozens of thousands of refugees tried to escape from South Ossetia under bombardment and shelling. The way to the life-saving Roki Tunnel became a real road of death for them. Getting the range to the only road running towards the Russian border, Georgian guns accurately fired at convoys of refugees. Georgians had no mercy upon anybody, in cold blood they fired at civil buses, ambulances and private cars and trucks.
But Tskhinval resisted... In a basement of the city hospital Ossetian surgeons in incredible conditions saved lives of wounded people. Outmanned and outgunned the Russian peacekeepers surrounded in
the outskirts of the city fought on bravery to repel the attacks of the aggressor. Without electricity, water and food under the massed intense fire the peaceful people continued their unequal fight. Face to face with the ruthless and guileful enemy they have held out and defended their right to freedom and independence.
What a high price of this victory! The Georgian gamble cost the lives of two thousand Ossetians and 74 Russian peacekeepers, several hundred people were wounded, more than 40,000 became refugees. Once the flourishing city of Tskhinval has been destroyed to smash, Ossetian villages have been ruined... These crimes of the Georgian soldiery and its Fuhrer are not forgettable and forgivable.
But the life goes on. The unbowed Ossetian people will overcome this hard time, restore the country, recover from the effects of the war, and children again will go to school. The music of D.Shostakovich and P.Chaikovski played on the ruins of Tskhinval by maestro Vatery Gergiev and Orchestra of the Mariinksy Theater became a bright symbol of the Ossetian revival and tragic monument to the killed.
This photo album is devoted to the heroic fights of the Ossetian people against the Georgian aggressor, memory of the fallen for the freedom of their Motherland, and act of bravery of the Russian peace¬keepers who have done fully their military duty.
We express gratitude to all residents of Tskhnval, Russian and foreign journalists who responded to our request and provided the documents on genocide against the Ossetian people, and war crimes of the Georgian regime.
