A Resident of Variani Village
I saw houses were bombarded. There were standing about seventeen men not far from me when a bomb was dropped. All of them fell down. Two men died at that moment; others are wounded and they are in critical condition till now. We were constantly under fire, sleepless, scared to go out. At last, we left taking nothing with us, even a handbag or some clothes. I left my passport there as well. Now I am dependent on humanitarian aid.
My mother-in-law still remains there. Our house has been looted. My mother-in-law was at home but they didn't let her do anything and took our music center and TV. They were looking for money and gold but there were neither of them there. I don't know if anything has happened after that

Variani
Interview place, time and date:Tbilisi,16.08.2008, Public School #32
Respondent:man,23 years
Story code:0062
I left village Variani on 7th of August because of the bombardments. At about 9 or 10 AM the first bomb was dropped on the territory of Variani, what resulted in the death of two local residents, father and son. Son's name was Makho Bedoshvili. Bomb has also wounded 8 people: Ilia Aduashvili, Temo Aduashvili, Beqa Giorgishvili, Nikoloz Kereselidze, Mikhail Khizanishvili, 12-year-old Vako Urjumelashvili 11-years-old Tsira Urjumelashvili who were immediately transferred to the Gori Public Hospital and then to Tbilisi.
From 8th to 13th of August we were near the village Kheltubani, where we could hear gunshots as well as bomb explosions. I saw two dead civilians and one dead soldier called Vitali in Kheltubani.
On 13th of August after the invasion of Cossacks and Ossetians I left Kheltubani. I left because gangs of Cossacks and Ossetians were robbing houses and killing innocent people.
While travelling on the highway I encountered a division of Russian armed forces with tanks and trucks (Kamaz and Ural trucks). They had more than 100 vehicles. One of the soldiers asked me for Vodka. I was able to see the writing on the white wristband soldiers were wearing. It said "Giorgadze".
I got to Tbilisi on 13th of August.
On 15th of August I got a notification from my father Emzar Makiashvili about our house having been robbed. They took everything: clothes, dishes, knives, forks, china, TV. Above-mentioned information can be confirmed by my wife – Lali Khutsishvili.
