them was raised long ago. The film crew of the film "August the
Eighth", which will be released in February 2012, also arrived.
Director Janik Fayziyev said that Tskhinvali had been building a
memorial for Russian Hero Major Denis Vetjinov, who died protecting
journalists.
Actor Gosha Kutsenko said that he went to Vladikavkaz as soon as he
heard about the war.
