Local farmer Nika Tsiklauri, 33, shows Reuters a piece of white cloth, in the village of Bershueti, Georgia, May 12, 2019. Tsiklauri said that the white pieces of cloth are used to indicate the "border" between the breakaway region of South Ossetia and the rest of Georgia. Tsiklauri said he was resting near where some white cloth was tied, when a Russian militant put a gun to his head, saying that he crossed over their border. Tsiklauri was later let go. "I went close to the occupied borderline, to the trees where the white cloths are, untied them and threw them on the floor, as a protest. I do it often," Tsiklauri said.

For displaced villagers living near the border of Georgia's breakaway region of South Ossetia, the war in Ukraine has brought back terrifying memories of Russian bombardments.
"I know what it feels like hiding in the basement while your village is being bombed. I know that horrible feeling of fear," said Mari Otinashvili, whose family fled the shelling of her village when she was a 13-year-old in 2008.
Local people and journalists stand and pass flowers over to Data Vanishvili's grandson Dato Vanishvili, 14, as he stands in Georgia's breakaway region of South Ossetia, during 88-year-old Data's funeral in the village of Khurvaleti, Georgia, March 22, 2021. Data Vanishvili, then already in his eighties, became a symbol of this fearful frontier existence after he, his wife and son woke up in 2013 to find a barbed-wire fence had been erected in the night, putting their home on the Ossetian side of the boundary. Vanishvili became well-known in Georgia for staying put and defiantly speaking out publicly. Despite the risks, he would cross the boundary to get his pension and to buy food. On his deathbed at the age of 88, his final words to his wife were a plea not to abandon their home. "Do not leave the house, do not go anywhere, sit by the stove, the Georgians will help you," his family recall him saying. He was buried in the breakaway region of South Ossetia.

After a ceasefire ended that five-day war, Russia recognised South Ossetia and another breakaway region, Abkhazia, as independent states and garrisoned troops there.
In the years since, Russian forces and the separatists they back have erected barbed wire fences along the Administrative Boundary Line, the de facto limit of South Ossetia. The previously unmarked line between two regions of Georgia feels increasingly like an international border.
Barbed wire now runs through gardens in the village of Khurvaleti, and others like it, leaving family members unable to reach relatives on the other side, cut off from their crops and livelihoods.

Otinashvili, who lives in a settlement on the edge of Khurvaleti for families displaced from the breakaway region, fears Russia will seek to take more territory or formally annex the breakaway region, following Moscow's moves to incorporate parts of eastern and southern Ukraine into the Russian federation.
A couple of days after Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls a special military operation, soldiers that Otinashvili said were Russians began moving signs forbidding Georgians to cross.

"It has been years since anything major has happened in my village, so we have no more international or local attention," said Meladze. "Right after the war, we had people sponsoring us in art or other activities, but it died away. People are continuing their daily lives, trying to adjust to living next to the Russian-controlled territory. There is always fear that something might happen, but even that people got used to being constantly scared of something. No one dares to go close to the occupied borderline, no one wants to be kidnapped and fined." REUTERS/Daro Sulakauri
They shone a powerful light towards her settlement, she said.
"I was so scared I could not stop crying and was shaking for two days. I thought again the war started," Otinashvili said.
Authorities in South Ossetia planned to hold a so-called referendum in July on whether to become part of Russia, but later suspended the consultation. Georgia has called any such plan to join Russia unacceptable.

Already, in 2017, an agreement with Russia in effect incorporated the armed forces of South Ossetia into Russia's military command structure. There are also Russian troops stationed in the region. South Ossetia is only recognized as independent from Georgia by a small handful of countries including Russia.
The Kremlin and leadership in South Ossetia did not respond to requests for comment for this story. Georgia's government did not respond to a request for comment.
Like Georgia, Ukraine is a former Soviet state bordering Russia and the Black Sea.

"I was three years old and Tamar was three months old when the war happened," Gelashvili said. "We had to flee our home. I don't remember anything. I only imagine what home was like. I know my house is destroyed, some people showed me photos of my land from a plane. It's now a home to Russians and Ossetians. There is a Russian military base in Argvisi village. Me and Tamar now call Shavshvebi settlement home. But if the Russians ever let us return home, we will." REUTERS/Daro Sulakauri
Moscow in September proclaimed its annexation of four partially occupied regions in Ukraine after the staging of what it called referendums. The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly condemned what it called the "attempted illegal annexation."
Russia previously annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in 2014.
Responsibility for the war in Georgia is disputed. An EU-backed report concluded in 2009 that it was started by Georgia's armed forces but that Moscow's response went beyond reasonable limits and violated international law.

The war was also over Abkhazia - another region internationally recognised as part of Georgia but under the control of Russian-backed separatists. Some 288,000 Georgians remain internally displaced by the war and previous secessionist conflicts in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, according to the U.N. refugee agency.
LIFE AND DEATH ON THE LINE
Life for residents who fled and those who live near the administrative line has been unsettled ever since the war there 14 years ago, with rights groups and the Council of Europe documenting restrictions on freedom of movement, illegal detentions and discrimination against ethnic Georgian citizens among other issues.

Maia Otinashvili, who is unrelated to Mari Otinashvili, says she was walking near Khurvaleti when Russia-backed militants kidnapped her in 2018, pulling her over a barbed-wire fence and into Russia-controlled territory in South Ossetia, where they imprisoned her.
She was then accused of crossing the boundary illegally. She denied the accusation but was sentenced that year by a South Ossetian court to eight months in jail. She was freed after 11 days following an outcry in Georgia.
"They knocked me to the ground and hit me in the back," Otinashvili, 41, told Reuters.
Local farmer Naira Mestavashvili, 63, the sister of the late Genadi Bestaevi, who was detained in 2019 and held in South Ossetia for two years before he had a stroke in custody and was returned to Georgia in a coma, wipes away tears in the village of Zardiantkari, Georgia, July 9, 2021. "The barbed wire fence was erected next to my brother's home," said Mestavashvili, who herself is half-Georgian and half-South Ossetian. "It was right next to his door. Russian troops patrolled there constantly. On the day he was kidnapped he did not cross into the occupied territory, but he was taken from his home. He was a healthy man, but he was in a coma when the South Ossetian authorities gave him back to us. He was in hospital for two months, and he is dead now. He is a victim of the Russian occupation. My brother had a wife and son in the South Ossetia region." REUTERS/Daro Sulakauri
Reports of such detentions are common and tracked by Georgian authorities and rights groups. Earlier in November three residents were detained in Gori municipality, according to Georgia's State Security Service, which says the detentions are intended to scare residents.
Villagers describe the detentions as kidnappings, saying Russian or Russian-backed South Ossetian forces constantly push the dividing line forward, erecting barriers, barbed wire fences and signs to turn it into a hard border.
"Anti-occupation" activist David Katsarava has taken to patrolling parts of the line, accusing the Georgian government as well as a civilian European Union monitoring mission of not doing enough to resist what he sees as Russian encroachment and illegal detentions.

Katsarava, who set up a group called Power is in Unity, hands out GPS trackers to shepherds and other residents to locate them rapidly if they run into trouble on the frontier so they can refute claims they have flouted it.
He says Georgia has already lost tracts of land beyond the territory it initially lost control of.
"The creeping occupation will not stop. It can be stopped only when you resist it and when you are constantly close," he said in an interview. "The Russians must see that we are getting as close as possible to the occupation line."

"I thought they would never let me go," he said. "A young boy was with me but he ran for his life and escaped." He recalls telling the soldiers he didn't cross beyond the white cloth they hung on bushes and trees, but the soldiers claimed the cloth was simply used to mark the roads, not the border.

Russia's foreign ministry and South Ossetia's de facto authorities did not respond to Reuters requests for comment about the allegations of wrongful detentions, or the hardening and movement of the administrative line.
Georgian citizen Genadi Bestaevi was detained in 2019 and held in South Ossetia for two years before he had a stroke in custody and was returned to Georgia, international observers reported. He died three months later aged 53.
South Ossetian authorities said he had illegally crossed the border and accused him of drug smuggling.

His sister, Naira Mestavashvili, 63, said Russian-backed forces took Bestaevi from the bedroom of his house, which was located right next to the barbed wire dividing line. "My brother is the victim of the Russian occupation. I don’t know what happened to him or what they did to him in prison. He was a healthy man," said Mestavashvili. The family denies the accusation of smuggling.
The European Union called Bestaevi's death a "tragic illustration of the devastating consequences of the illegal actions of the de facto regime."

"I am all alone. The guards forbid my family members to come into the occupied territory. If they do cross the border, they will be jailed," Valishvili said.
Valishvili said Russian forces had told her to leave her home but she refused, saying she had promised her late husband she would not abandon their home.
"They will take everything when I am gone: all my land that is Georgian," Valishvili said.

"When the checkpoint closed in our village, many were left isolated from their family members. After three years, the checkpoint is open, and locals can relocate between the regions. For relocation locals need a special pass which has an expiration date. After the expiration date, the holder of the pass is not guaranteed to get extension of the pass.
