Vadim, a South Ossetian militiaman, raced through the deserted Georgian
streets, a Soviet Makarov pistol in one hand and a Kalashnikov in the other.
Dishevelled, unshaven and wild-eyed, he was searching for someone to kill.
For the first time in 10 years he had crossed the border from his
secessionist province and reached Gori, a town well inside Georgian
territory, hours after it had been taken by Russian soldiers.

soldier I’ll shoot his brains out. They’re dogs.”
