Ethnic Ossetian Lena Kudakhova, 67, left, and Ethnic Georgian Oliya Gudadze, 68, speak with Lena's ruined house in the background in Ksuisi village, 20 km East from Tskhinvali, near South-Ossetian- Georgian border Georgia, Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2008. Gudadze said she hid in a corn field as Russian troops swept through, then watched as her neighbors descended on her home, looted it and set it on fire. Now she camps in its ruins.The war between Russia and Georgia has caused the worst rift between Russia and the West since the Cold War. But it has also pitted neighbor against neighbor in this region of mountain slopes and fruit orchards, home to two ethnic groups who have lived side by side for centuries. (AP Photo/Dmitry Lovetsky)
