Two friends Nika Haradze(19) and Giorgij Monaselidze (22) left Tbilisi without telling their families and headed to Ossetia to fight. Neither of the boys did any army training before-they went on their own iniciative and without the guns.They called only on 7/8 August (first day of war) to tell that they are about to enter Tskhinvali .After that parents had lost contact with them-and start looking for them .

Few days later boys called from Tskhinvali where they were alive but kept as a prisoners.Three weeks later Ossetian side released them along with 85 other Georgian prisoners .
