Summer Evening...

Ãàâðèèë Èâàíè÷åíêî
In Chinval Was Pleasant Summer Evening…
And Olympic Celebrations In Peking…
World Olympic Games were Starting –
Many Sportsmen Went Then to the Ring…

In Such Days there was the Ancient Rule -
Finish all the Conflicts and the Wars,
Take part in Athletic Competitions
To Glorify Own Country in the Sports…

The Darkness lowered on the mountains
Was Dark in Gorge and the Woods…
And Only Pacifier There didn’t sleep –
They had the quietness of people to keep…

But Suddenly in Darkness Motor Roar –
The Columns of Tanks and BMP…
By Soldier are the Lorries Packed…
And Mass of Installations "Hail"!

The Georgians Begun to Shoot
In Back of Russian Peacemakers -
Treacherously and perfidiously –
Began the Russian pacifier to kill…

In Darkness, Suddenly, At Night
The Georgians began to shoot…
The Tens of Installations "Hail"
Made in Chinval in Trace - a Hell…

But Peacemakers Stood So Firm,
And Stopped at Once the Georgian Horde…
Light Victory was Expected by Them,
But They Were Turned Themselves to Hell…

The Georgians Broke Then in Chinval –
They Started There People to Kill…
The Oldsters, Children They Attacked –
 Against the Women Started War…

They Exploded Hospitals and Schools,
Museums, Kindergartens –in Succession…
Have Broken Tombs and Graveyards…
There Was a Mass of These Vandals…

Destroyed the Thousandyears Temples
Which were Not Touched by Mongolian Horde…
Were They – Europeans!? They Brought - Genocide!!!
The Ecological Catastrophe and Disaster!!!

But Reinforcement Came to Russian Peacemakers
And by Crashing Blow the Villains were estimated!
And they remain – to wait the Court!
The World will do it! And It Ought…
