    ... (más información)

  • USA did same thing in Serbia 1999... Spread lies in their controled media TV stations , to get support from the people in the west ... WHEN Serbia was totaly open for all observers to be present in 1999 and observe the conflict between Serbian army and Albanian terrorists in KOSOVO ...

    But no USA bombed Serbia ... USA rot in Helll

  • amat Gogia dedas utirebs

  • @sochilandofgenocide FUCK YOU!!!

  • the biggest mistake in the Russia history

  • Or not...

  • trust me,,,,, yes,,,,,

  • No. The biggest mistake in Georgian history. If the Soviet Union was a man than Georgia was it's left hand's middle finger. Since 1991 it's been reduced to the bone of that finger and the war of 2008 mutilated half of it. And the nation continues to decay. Though small, Abhazia and South Ossettia make slow reprieve under Russian rule, Georgia simply cant accept that a hand can not function without all it's fingers and a man can not function without his hand. And it paid the price.

  • @30DOTCOM wTF are you talking about we were independent in 1918 and then Russia conquered us

  • First of all it was the Bolsheviks that conquered you, not the Russians, secondly Georgia ceded itself into the Russian Empire WAY back in the 18th century, and betrayed it as soon as the unstable times came, wheras men from all over the empire died in Azerbaijan to defend Georgians. Weather the Bolsheviks conquered you or marched around the Tbilisi with peace trumpets, Georgia still became an SSR, thats the fact of it, and Georgia grew reliant on the other Republics, and it could not adapt.

  • Well done to Russia.Georgia started the war and this was obvious. Russians protected the civilians and gave them independence. Congratulations from Greece! Georgia should feel ashamed about its attack to orthodox people in Abkhazia and Ossetia! They are brothers not enemies! not Muslims! not foreign! Everybody will do the same Russia's place even Greece too if you started a war with the minority of Greeks there! It was unacceptable from your side! Orthodox people should live peacefully together!

  • So ossians, Nauru is inviting you. You are the same race and will be loved and taken care. Move to Nauru and live well there.

  • РОССИЯ ПО "ИНЕРЦИИ " ОКАЗАЛАСЬ В ГРУЗИИ ,КОГДА ЗАДНИЙ ХОД  ДАСТ НАДО СПРОСИТЬ!!!

  • The EU and the West needs to accept facts and choose the only real way forward at this point, namely recognizing of North-Ossetia as independent state and admitting North-Ossetia to the international community with full rights. This is the best solution for everyone.

  • Why doesn't RT do a story on the Kennedy Assasination. Watch the Zapruder film and you will see the driver of the car turning around and placing a pistol of his right shoulder and shooting him.

  • I knew now that if Russia didn't halt the Georgian Army in its steps, S. Ossetia and Abkhazia would not be existing anymore. And America is the suspect.

  • you knew wrong

    in 93 it was russian army stopped caucasus coalition to invade georgia after its army was crushed, declaring that it will be the the peacekeeper.

  • But at you a freedom of speech, and plus to it the country is stuffed by gays, children constantly submit on parents to courts. Unless it is normal?

  • Im not talking shit, I just simply know that Axis forces sucked dick during the WW, meaning probably your mom did that quite a few times... Which in return made you angry with everyone who won, which is Russia. Anyway, you're just a hate fuelled blind pup trying to troll around the internet making everybody else listen to your negative IQ propaganda, while you are completely unable to SEE THE FUCKING VIDEOS OF DEAD OSSETIANS OVER THIS SAME FUCKING SITE YOU STUPID, DEGENERATED, PISSBRAIN MONKEY

  • I can see only his big fucking head. He's an hobit.

  • Фактически Россия стала и есть стороной конфликта по отношению к Грузии.

  • Soglasen no Sakashvli idiot typoi, on razgovarivaet kak neabrazovani gryzin na rinke. Obidno, ja viras so vsemi v mire, Belaryzi, Gryzini, Tyrkmeni, Ukrainci, Russijane i mnogie drygie bili tak blizki dryg drygy...

  • @jafari555 ахам... потому что заступилась за оссетию и абхазию.. если би не Россия, то их би и небило би уже.. а помоему тебе ето нравится, да?

  • Georgia would NEVER attack such a big country like Russia. without help from other countries like US. If Russia wanted a COLD WAR it would have done so long time ago. The question is WHY MEDIA DID NOT GIVE A SHIT WHEN SOUTH OSSETIA'S CITIZENS WERE BEING KILLED BY NATO, GEORGIAN, UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS? AND WHEN MORE THEN 80% OF THE SOUNTH OSSETIAN'S POPULATION ARE RUSSIANS, AND RUSSIAN DID WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. EVERYONE STARTED TO TALK ABOUT RUSSIAN WANTING A COLD WAR!

  • all blogs are dominated by russians and pro-Russians - lazy people, bipolar, sick people. And then they go and rob others like they did in Georgia. They should not be allowed to use a computer; You got to kick these losers out to work.

  • Hereiswhat, i salute you, for you are not only a swift diagnostician possessing a wide range of analytical skills, but also someone who takes pride in being pilloried by intellectual dwarfs and wicked lowlifes who, having infected the precious Internet, are now reducing our society to mediocrity. I hope some day to see your collection of Nazi paraphernalia; perhaps you will even recite me your favorite lines from Hitler's diaries.

  • When you listen to these parasites you may even go Hitler or Putin :)

  • And the true reason of the global recession are these blogs, where people are spending hours doing just nothing.

  • I was in Abchazia now in september,,, MY GOOD its so BEAUTiFUL! most beautiful country in the world!

  • it is not a country. It is one of Georgian regions and Rusian church said it hundred times. who cares what the mistakes of nature like poetin and medidv say? They are there today they will not be there tomorrow. The church is forever.

  • That is Georgia

  • I have been to Georgia also, and I think Georgia also is very beautiful

  • fucking idiot, u think I do not know where are you comming from? keep spreading russian passports bimbo.

  • haters are losers

  • This was a historic moment. For the first time since 1500s, Russia has recognized the independence of one of the North Caucasian states.... Hopefully, Circassia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushitia, and Ossetia will follow. This is what is right.

  • The political slogan 'Georgia for the Georgians' was never proclaimed by Gamsakhurdia at all: it was a cynical invention of Moscow's propaganda machine. Gamsakhurdia Government insisted at all times upon the rights of the national minorities in Georgia being considered equal to those of the Georgian population.

  • As for the abolition of "South Ossetia's" so-called autonomy by Gamsakhurdia Government, this was brought about by the Parliament of "South Ossetia" itself, which proclaimed the establishment of an independent Republic; and the relevant decree promulgated by the Georgian Parliament merely was reaction to this fact. The violence and disorder which followed in "South Ossetia" was provoked by extremist forces directed from Moscow.

  • А точно ли Гамсахурдиа говорил "Грузия - для грузин"? Я видел и слышал его, и хорошо запомнил, что он очень настойчиво утверждал, что, мол, Грузия - это страна грузин и абхазов, в которой живут, кроме того, армяне, азербайджанцы и осетины.

  • Вова и Дима - брысь с Кремля!

  • Finally! sick and tiered of Georgian Stalins Bloody faggots trying to kill people !

  • medvedev why do not you just hang yourself?

  • Maybe Putin and Medvedev will declare that Russia will recognise the independence of Brighton Beach New York, lots of Russians who have Russian passports live there. Yeah, they can demand that 8,000 Russian soldiers will come to US to protect Brighton Beach.

  • According to a Russian explorer, General A. N. Kuzmin-Karavayev, the Russian population of SOCHI district composed only 1/7 part of the total population.

    The following data are quoted from Kuzmin-Karavayev's book:

  • Town SOCHI Total Number 460 Russians 11 Georgians 440 Shapsugs 0 Other Nationalities 9 SOCHI DISTRICT Total Number 5811 Russians - 805 Georgians 836 Shapsugs 731 Other Nationalities - 3439 It follows then that Sochi which was and still is a purely Georgian town, had only 11 Russian inhabitants,
  • hahaha, sochi was the capital of Ubih, an ancient circassian tribe. they were almost completely wipred out during the genocide of 1864. Shapsugs were too, Georgia was located there after the ubih and shapsug were eliminated. They were put to farm for russia and they did, now they hate russia? russia helped georiga so much against my people and now goeriga is playing games?dont joke, russia AND georgia worked together for 100's of years to slowly move in, now they are "old" inhabitants? hahahaha

  • Later -

    командованием генерала Г.Мазниашвили  (Мазниевa) при поддержке абхазских кавалерийских подразделений (до 300 человек) в 20-х числах июня 1918г. очистили Сочи и вcю Абхазию от большевиков.

  • From the 15th century onward, the area, known as UBYKHIA, was controlled by the local MOUNTAINEER CLANS, nominally UNDER THE sovereignty of the OTTOMAN Empire, which was their principal trading partner in the Muslim world.

    The coastline was ceded to Russia in 1829 as a result of a Russo-Turkish War.

  • are you aware that the russo-turkish war ended in the 1700's?becuase russia invaded circassia in 1760 and 100 years later they took ubiya,shapsug,kabarda...it took 100 years and fell in 1864. look up your dates...

  • There was another Russo-Turkish war in 18281829 - strongly enhanced the Russian positions, leading to a further split in the Abkhaz elite (Sochi is Abkhazia - not Circassia).

  • HAHAHA - FOR HOW LONG Sochi was the "capital" of Ubih???

    From the 6th to the 15th centuries, the SOCHI area successively belonged to the KOLKHIDA, and than the Christian Kingdoms of Western GEORGIAN Egrisi and Abkhazia who built a dozen churches within the city boundaries.

    The Christian settlements along the coast were destroyed by the invading Gokturks, Khazars, and other nomadic empires whose control of the region was slight.

  • Sorry, it belonged to Kolkhida before Egrisi was created

  • ??????what???where are you getting these "facts" because i can show sites, maps, official documents...but you can only speak. look it up before you respond, i don't want you to spew all of your lies out because i will correct them instantly with cited FACTS.

  • The Caucasian War ended with the signing of loyalty oaths by Circassian leaders on 2 June 1864 (21 May, O.S.)Thereupon, Russia undertook the expulsion of the entire indigenous Circassian population, herding them to Abkhazian Black Sea ports for deportation to neighboring Anatolia, the heart of the Ottoman Empire.

  • This is an official website with documents from the english house of parliament, England had strong ties with Circassia during the war and pledged to help them...but never did...Just take a look, it will clear any doubts that ankhazia is abkhazia...

  • ankhazia is abkhazia???!!!

  • This is an official website with documents from the english house of parliament???!!!

  • yes, is it to much for you to handle? England sent an envoy of observers, archologiss, and ships to circassia during the war of 1758-1864 and even sent a man who created a new flag. They did this in order to support Circassia. Many long sessions in english parliament were fought over wheter to send troops or not. Look it up

  • NO - it is not to much for me to handle - Circassia is Circassia and Abkhazia is Abkhazia - and SOCHI was Abkhazian for more than 1000 years (not Circassian).

  • so wait, two days ago you said abkhazia is georgia, that they were georgians, now you not only say abkhazia is abkhazia but you also admit their existence as abkhaiza?i believe that i just passed some wisodm into you my friend. you finally started to get it, georgia is not the only caucasian nation, they are the newest race in the caucasus. so please repsect the others, as they once respected georgia..before the wars...

  • In July 1866 rebels proclaimed the late Michael Shervashidze's son George as prince and marched on Sukhumi. Only the strong Russian reinforcements led by General D. Sviatopolk-Mirski were able to suppress the revolt in Abkhazia by the same August.

  • Western GEORGIAN principality of Abkhazia was finally abolished by Russians in November 1864, when the rule of the old Georgian noble family Shervashidze came to an end; The last sovereign prince of Abkhazia, His Highness Prince Michael Shervashidze was forced by Russians to renounce his rights and resettle from Sukhumi, Abkhazia to Voronezh, Russia.

  • Even the last Abkhazian ruler George Shervashidze was considering Iveria (Georgia) as his homeland. Let me note, that the first representative of the Sharvashidze (Chachba-Sharashia) dynasty assumed the princely powers under the authority of the Georgian kings Bagrationi circa 1325.

  • size of denmark and should be free as it was for 6000+years but no, it is now "russia"it is not right, it is not true, but it is how it is. my people will keep fighting and one day we hope to be FREE like Abkhazia AND Georgia, do you understand? Georgians are still free even after abkhazia brokeaway, but abkhazians are not free in georiga. do you get it?it means they want to live like everyone else, FREE and for tmeselves. Why should georgia be free and not the rest of the caucasus?

  • YES - Sochi was part of Abkhazia (not Circassia). and Abkhazia was Georgian entity, with Georgian Church and Government institutions for more than 1000 years.

  • what, how can you try to turn around your own words?you don't know what you are saying. please think, don't give me names,and dates, and georgian sources. Give me people, the abkhazians themselves do not call themselves georgian and now they are free. THAT IS THAT. listen to this video, do you get it? he is not saying "abkhaiza is a georgian entity...Prince Shervashidze...georgia.."he is saying we recognize ABKHAZIA as INDEPENDANT. get used to it, according to history circassia should be the

  • The number of Russians in Sochi district went up after 1894; nevertheless, 22% were Georgians. The growth of the Russian population was due to an inhuman policy of the Russian government which the very General Kuzmin-Karavayev described in his book "The Black Sea District",

  • yeah, and general Zass comited genocide and wiped out the circassians there, he then brought ukraninas and georgians to settle down under their rule and farm...but then the georgians and ukraninas also rise up. Stalin also helped georgians move north and claim land. that is why there are so many georgians north now, and they will be kicked out one day all the way to tblisi.

  • Yes, after genocide commited by Russians large areas of the region were left uninhabited and many Armenians, Georgians, Russians and others subsequently migrated to Abkhazia. But let me note, that Georgian tribes (Mingrelians and Svans) had populated Abkhazia since the time of the Colchis kingdom. Later in XVI-XVII the North Caucasian tribes, who migrated to Abkhazia from the north of the Caucasus Mountains merged there with the existing Georgian (mostly Mengrelian)population.

  • "Our struggle with the inhabitants of Western Caucasian has acquired an extreme unprecedented character: the decision was not only to conquer the country but to subdue its inhabitants and to drive them away".

  • The writer compared that behavior of the Russians with the most ancient people, "when whole nations used to be enslaved, just as it happened to the Jews, for instance..."

  • These words could be confirmed by a Russian law issued in the time of Minister of agriculture Ermolov and prohibiting Georgians to settle in that ancient Georgian land and buy plots there.

    В середине июня 1918г. российские большевики осуществили очередное наступление из Сочи в направлении Сухуми и дошли до Нового Афона.

  • По просьбе АНС, грузинские войска под командованием генерала Г.Мазниашвили при поддержке абхазских кавалерийских подразделений (до 300 человек) в 20-х числах июня 1918г. очистили Абхазию от большевиков

  • russia should not be doing this

  • why not, should georgia be allowed to kill and steal?Now the first ture caucasian nations are free the rest will follow.

  • Dear AdigeShapsug. Are you sure that caucasian nations are free???!!!

  • WHAT DO YOU MEAN? Adygea is not free, Chechenya is not free, N. Ossetya is not free, Dagestan is not free, Karachay-cherkesya is not free, Kabardino-Balkarya is not free, SOCHI IS NOT FREE! i say that Abkhazia and s. Ossetya are MORE free than before. Now they have to deal with russia but it is better than Georgia.

  • Mr. Bush, Saakashvilli, BBC, FoxNews - they! They!!! THEY!!! The cry, have made a panic, have frightened the WORLD!!!!!!! For an occasion of distribution of the NATO on the East!

    Saacashvilli the liar, IT IT!! Shoots on civilians and on houses. The Georgian and USA authorities always represent the truth as a lie and a lie as the truth!

  • Why would Russia support Ossetia independence when they did not support Kosovo independence? serbija-russia butt-buddies?

  • Ossetia and Abkhazians live in russia, they would protest violently, also this was happening in their backyard and the caucasus would all join up against georgia therfore they would join up against russia. I wish they all did and they will one day breakaway from georgia AND russia.

  • Having created, funded and fully backed the South Ossetian separatist movement since the Soviet crack-up, in late July the Kremlin ordered its own puppet regime of Kokoiti to provoke the Georgians.

  • In the week prior to the Russian invasion, South Ossetians, aided by Russian peacekeepers, had shelled and raided Georgian villages beyond South Ossetia. President, Mikheil Saakashvili, took the bait and walked into Moscows trap—he ordered Georgian forces to go in and clean out the areas where the "South Ossetian" militias were operating.

  • hahaha, look at georgian documents as well, they proove that for months saakashvilli cut of power and water to ossetia, he then bombed all of tskival and ossetia, he then declared wart and claimed he took 75% or more of ossetia untill russia entered. then he began to cry because he couldn't reach the roki tunnel na hold russia out. he failed and now he cries to the west but it is over. Abkhazia and Ossetia are finally FREE.

  • Georgia remembers Soviet invasion and occupation in 1921 and the reason stated by Bolshevik Russia - Protection of local Communists. Today, Russians are protecting ethnic Osetian "Russian Citizens" in historic region of the central Georgia.

  • We also remember early 1990's when invaded two Georgian provinces and was bombing Georgia from sky and black see, enforced 450.000 people (80% of total population - mostly ethnic Georgian refugees) to leave their homes.

  • In addition, at inactivity of the Russian peacemakers in Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region were killed more than 2000 civilians of the Georgian nationality in 1994-2007.

  • Russia has a history of causing problems in the "near abroad" , around the "whole perimeter" and then coming to "fix" the problem.

  • Place name (toponym) "South Ossetia" for the first time has been used by Russian military, and then civil authorities in the beginning of XIX century. This term had collective character and meant historic-geographical areas of former Georgian Kingdom of Kartli where mainly lived the Ossetian population migrated from the North Caucasus.

  • Generally speaking, Georgians and Ossetians have been living in peace with each other except for the episodes in 19181920 and 1991-2008. Both ethnicities have had a high level of interaction and a high rate of intermarriages.

  • The Osetians are originally descendants of the Alans. They became Christians during the early Middle Ages, under Georgian and Byzantine influences. Under Mongol rule, they were pushed out of their homeland south in present-day Republic of Alania (north Caucasus) under Russian rule from 1767.

  • Another part of Osetians migrated towards and over the Caucasus mountains, to Georgia in the central region of Georgia - Tskhinvali, Shida Kartli Under rule of the eastern Georgian Royal Dynasty (abolished by Russians in 1801). Little part of Osetians also moved to in Western Georgian Kingdom Imereti, and principality of Racha ruled by another branch of Bagrationi Dynasty.

  • Transformation of the term "South Ossetia" in a designation of administrative-territorial formation with certain administrative borders begins since 1922. Following the Soviet occupation of Georgia (1921) Osetia was ARTIFICIALLY created by Bolsheviks in Georgia

  • and areas with not only Osetian villages, but with mainly Georgian population (eastern Racha & Imeretia and mostly central Kartli) also have been included. In addition, old Georgian town Tskhinvali become a capital city of artificial Osetia (please note: by 1910 ONLY 10% Osetians lived in Tskhinvali).

  • Subsequently, the town became largely Ossetian due to intense urbanization and Soviet Korenizatsiya ("nativization") policy which induced an inflow of the Ossetians into Tskhinvali. Today, there is an obvious manifold instrumentalization of the local minorities by Russia for the purpose of destroying the Georgian state.

  • By the early 18th century, Tskhinvali was a small Georgian "royal town" populated chiefly by monastic serfs of the Georgian orthodox church and serfs of local Georgian aristocrats (such as Prince Matchabeli family, etc.)

  • Tskhinvali was first chronicled by Georgian sources in 1398 as a village in Kartli (central Georgia) though a later account credits the 3rd century AD Georgian king Asphagur of Iberia (eastern Georgia) with its foundation as a fortress.

  • The city contains several monuments of medieval Georgian architecture, with the Kavti Church of St. George being the oldest one dating back to the 8th-10th centuries, as well as Soviet time buildings and the old Jewish Quarter (Jewish lived peacefully in Georgia more than 24 centuries).

  • Located on a trade route which linked North Caucasus to Tbilisi and Gori, Tskhinvali gradually developed into a commercial town with a mixed Jewish, Georgian, Armenian and Ossetian population. In the 1910s, its censused population was 5,033 with 42.3% Jews, 33% Georgians, 13.4% Armenians and ONLY 11% Ossetians.

  • The lessons of the past have demonstrated that shortsightedness, adventurism and extremism in politics invariably lead to a tragedy that makes hundreds and thousands of innocent people suffer.

  • Georgian public opinion very often is diverse, on this particular situation everyone, including the people, church, opposition and the authorities, are united and have one opinion: Georgia has been and should remain a unified state.

  • what about your saaka - god bless him?

  • bravo for rusian.........we not need USA and Israel in Ossetia and Abkhazia......and fuck you Shakasvili you are Zombie form hell....fuck you Bush and Olmert Jews we not need jews in Russian........long life Medvedev and The Great Putin.........

  • "Russian lnvasion Spooks lnvestors - the Russian stock market has plunged more than 30% since the country's invasion of Georgia... up to $20bn (£11bn) in foreign capitaI has been pulled out of Russia in the last month alone." BBC Sept. 7

    There are 70 thousand South Ossetians. Was it reaIIy worth it, Iosing US$286,000 of investment per Ossetian? There were 44 dead Ossetians. Was it reaIIy worth it Iosing 454 miIIion doIIars per dead Ossetian?

    This onIy proves Russians are irrationaI warmongers.

  • what do you mean? money is only paper huamn lives are much more. Why is it that it is worth it when the americans entered ww2 and saved the jews but ossetians and caucasisians are not? you have no right to speak in terms of money, money was created by man, life was given by god. do you believe in god?

  • This only proves you are a sicko to measure human lives for money! What if it was your mother or child? Certainly it would not be worth losing US$286,000 of investment per an Australian such as you!

  • I believe that civilians driven out by Russian troops from Abkhazia and Ckhinvali region should return to their homes. This is a decade long conflict with roots in Russia's imperialistic policies in Caucasus. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees that represent majority of the population of these regions and they should participate in making decisions in these provinces without intervening from Moscow's military backed corrupted marionettes.

  • What about serbian refugees from Kosovo?

    Nobody intrested of thear opinion when NATO approved Kosovo.

  • Wrong. The Ossetians attacked a Georgian enclave on August 1. Georgians in South Ossetia were attacked from August 1 to 6. Only on August 7 did Georgia defend its citizens on its territory. The next day, Russia invaded Georgia. Georgia has never attacked Russia.

    Nobody believes Putin when he speaks of thousands dead in South Ossetia. Where are the bodies? In Bosnia, you can see the mass graves where the Serbs (friends of Russia) murdered Bosnians.

  • Sorry but that's all blah blah blah. On the other hand, I don't blame for you having all this wrong info because I've been watching BBC

    since this whole thing started and the West is just big time confused about it and the info is very controversial and one-sided. And Putin never spoke of thousands dead in S. Osettia.

  • Putin said 2000 dead in South Ossetia? You don't believe me? Hear if from his mouth: watch?v=vTMZ2yvlf4s

    It's USSR-style propaganda. This channel is the same.

  • And wake up - as much as you want it to be, USSR doesn't exist anymore and Cold War times are over, so what you are doing is just putting the same labels on everyone, so easy and typical that's why it's not even interesting for me to have this discussion with you. It's not an insult, just a state of fact, so bye bye.

  • Do you watch the Russia Today? TOTALLY BIASED! Al Jazeera is much better. Russia Today is even worse than Fox News!

  • All news stations are biased, but Russia today has eyewitness accounts from georgians and ossetians and americans and anyone who was there and saw georgian war crimes. It is a shame that the media is blocking all of the ossetian damage (which was the cause of the war) and showed that the georgias (who are the aggressors) are the victims. where is your dignity?your honor?you start a war and then cry to the west that you have lost and now russia is taking over. you started this unessary lossoflife

  • I have seen so many videos from Russia about what Georgia did. But they are all the same. They speak of thousands dead, but in the videos I only see a few people.
