Original description:
On August 8, 2008, the Russian Federation launched an armed aggression against Georgia, supporting the separatist self-proclaimed republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. This hybrid war (which also took place on the information front) became a de facto rehearsal for the 2014 attack on Ukraine. This video is about the origins of the Georgian-Ossetian and Russian-Georgian conflicts, the course and consequences of the "five-day war".

"History Without Myths" is a popular channel about the past of Ukraine and the world without ornaments and falsifications. The experts of our programs are professional historians (doctors and candidates of historical sciences, professors, associate professors, employees of scientific institutes and historical museums), each of whom is a specialist in specific issues. The topics of the issues cover all periods and cover a wide range of issues: political, military, economic history, history of international relations, history of culture, arts and sports, biographies of prominent personalities.
The purpose of our project is to refute anti-scientific myths, fakes and stereotypes about Ukraine and Ukrainians, spread public interest in history, pride in the glorious past, victories and achievements of the Ukrainian people, promote consolidation of Ukrainian society, positive image of Ukraine and Ukrainians.
2 new videos are released on the channel every week: "History without Myths" on Wednesday at 14:00 and "10 Questions to the Historian" on Saturday at 12:00.
