Renowned conductor Valery Gergiev will give a requiem outdoor concert tonight in the heard of the capital of South Ossetia Tskhinvali. The performance would be “a requiem for those who died at the hands of the aggressors, for those who sacrificed their lives defending their homeland from a treacherous attack by Georgia”, a South Ossetian spokesman said.

“The world should know what is happening. There were a thousand or more South Ossetians were killed at that time,” he told the BBC last week. “The arrival of Russian troops saved maybe a thousand or more lives.” “The President of Georgia had no right to order his army to go and crush and use Grad missiles against peaceful civilians,” he said, calling it “the mistake of his life”.
