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.
August 2008. How it has remained in our memory
On the night of August 7, 2008, when heavy shelling began, several people hid in the basement of the house of a resident of the village of Dmenis in the Tskhinval district of South Ossetia, Zaira Khuriyeva.
For many years South Ossetia was under the yoke of the Georgian fascism. Destroying the small South Ossetian people in painful, inhuman torture, our "good" territorial neighbors were torn apart by a burning desire to drown Ossetia in blood. The climax of their madness was 2008, when Georgia intended to arrange another genocide against the Ossetians with the loud name "Clean Field".
Midnight. 8 August. The implementation of the demoniac idea began - a march to a sleeping peaceful city. Possessed by recklessness? Or naivety, believing to surreptitiously crush the Ossetians?

In 2008, Nikolai Gagloyev was 24 years old, his brother Andrey was 23, and the third brother was three years younger, but was always with them. Back in 2004, the three of them had to defend their homeland. This is the fate of several generations - to become very young warriors.
“We did not let our younger brother into combat positions, he was still too young. But every time he secretly made his way and stood with us,” Nikolai recalls.
In the first week of the war in August 2008, ambulance brigades patrolling the streets of the capital, looking for the wounded, said Emzar Kulumbegov, Deputy Director of the South Ossetian Medical Center for Ambulance. Remembering those days is not easy for everyone.
As the head of the service told IA "Res", on the night of August 7-8, he was outside the ambulance building.
