Tskhinvali After War · Заметки

Photos of Tskhinvali, a capital of South Ossetia, after the war. Some photos are really hard to look at. Consequences of "restoring constitutional order" and "internal police operation" as the Georgian military operation "Clear field" was called in Georgia and U.S.

Although the city was not "completely leveled" (like Stalingrad or Dresden in WW2) as it was reported by Ossetian officials, it is definitely heavily damaged. According to report, 10% of buildings were destroyed completely and 20% severely damaged. Other buildings have minor damage - no glass, shell-splinters and etc. With help of Russian builders people will be able to return to their houses soon enough.

Estimation of from 1400 to 2000 killed civilians seems to be correct so far.
