Occupation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia / Karasin, G   Journal Article
Karasin, G Journal Article

Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract THIS PAST AUGUST, or to be more accurate, the night of August 7-8, was the fourth anniversary of the tragic events in South Ossetia. It should be recalled that on that night, treacherously breaking his ceasefire pledge made the day before on public television, Georgian President M. Saakashvili issued an order to start a night attack on the peaceful city of Tskhinval, the capital of South Ossetia. After massive rocket and artillery bombardment the city came under attack by Georgian ground forces supported by tanks and aviation. The results of the criminal act were deplorable: Hundreds killed and thousands injured; dozens of homes and other buildings razed to the ground, and almost complete destruction of South Ossetia's socio-economic infrastructure.
