Great effort has gone into commemorating last year’s war of South
Ossetia and Georgia.
Near midnight on Friday, precisely a year after Georgia began shelling
Tskhinvali, thousands of people gathered in the city’s main square,
where a Russian-made documentary was projected on a huge screen
overhead. In Moscow also people gathered to commemorate all the
victims of the war.
Georgia has reported more than 400 deaths in the war; Russia’s
prosecutor’s office has so far reported 162 and 67 Russian soldiers.
