The term ‘South Ossetia’, invented by Russian Bolsheviks in 1922 after their military conquest of the region a year earlier, sounds far more outrageous. Any unbiased court would prove the Russo-Ossetian territorial claims over Tskhinvali and its surrounding areas ludicrously groundless, but alas the might often outweighs the right. Such is the reality now and in general hardly the justice prevails in the world.

Do you have some evidence for your words? I think that is not truth. Name south ossetia as name of province or even as separate country was used earlier before soviet time.
What will you say?
Am I wrong?
I don’t have enough skills for translation contradictious material from Russian into English.
Can you help me???
Please, translate some expression Georgians about South Ossetia which were done before Bolshevik time

Трудно себе представить более или менее грамотного грузина, не говоря уже о научных работниках, которому не было известно имя выдающегося грузинского педагога и общественного деятеля Якова Гогебашвили. В своем знаменитом школьном учебнике «Врата природы («Бунебис кари»)», рассчитанном на детей третьего и четвертого годов обучения, который впервые вышел в 1868 г. и к моменту установления Советской власти в Грузии выдержал уже свыше двадцати изданий, Я. Гогебашвили в разделе «Соседние страны» пишет: «Осетины являются горским народом. Они занимают срединную часть Кавказского хребта, от Хевсуретии до Сванетии. Одни из них живут по ту сторону хребта, на его северных склонах, другие на этой стороне, на южных склонах. По этой причине Осетия разделяется на две части: Северную Осетию и Южную Осетию…».

Gogebashvili is indeed a famous writer and teacher and you correctly describe this translated material as contradictory. Having no desire to be accused of free interpretation of his phrase, I at the same time can’t but point out that the Ossetians have settled not only in mountainous areas but also in valleys and large cities. The writer may have referred to this term in regards with the people (not the land), because if South Ossetia as a name of province or separate country had really existed before the Bolshevik onslaught, it would have had a defined territory and some rulers as well. The question then is the time: before 1801 (Georgian kingdom), in 1801-1917 (Russian rule) or 1917-1921 (Transcaucasian Republic, Republic of Georgia)? What was the name of its administrative centre – because it couldn’t be Tskhinvali which according to the Russian 1913 survey had only 11% of Ossetian population; what was the name of the ruling feudal dynasty or who were the non-feudal governors; what are important historic dates of this territorial entity? Hardly answers on these questions can be found, because this region up to 1922 was always governed from Tiflis.
A decree on the establishment of South Ossetia was for the first time announced on 20 April 1922 by the Soviet authorities (that yeat Josef Stalin became Secretary-General of the Russian Communist Party) 14 months after the Red Army had completed the conquest of the whole region.

that is a shame how ''putanki putina'' falsificate historical facts! ! the south oseetia name issue comes after 1801 anexxation of Georgia! in 1802 26 march, Gen. Calr Knoring ( Карл Богданович Кнорринг) shamelessly named mountainous regions of central-north Georgia ''ossetia'' - Осетия, in his report to Russian emperor, while at that period there were too few ossetian families living in Liakhvi region! after this,Iranic ethnic group which was known as: Digoron, Iron, Iryston, Alan people (that's how they call themselves) was renamed as Ossetian, by the influance of Georgian etymology! th word Ossetian has a georgian base - OSETI-ოსეთი< and in every europian or noneuropian languages it sounds the same way: Осетин, Ossetian, ossetein, Osetler, there is used the a georgia base : OSETI! all this etymologic facts show up the Georgian dominancy in the Tskhinvali region, which is also affirmed by Georgian toponyms!
Ossetians came here for land renting, as north alania had too poor crops!
I also want to mention something really important, what ahppened in 20 april, 1922, when so called ''south ossetia'' got the status of autonomous region, while North Ossetia, a real Historical native place of Alans, got smae autonomous status only after 2 years, in 7 july 1924! this is obvious why ossetians were used inside georgian political arena, for the destruction of Menshevik govt and for wiping this country out from the map!
If someone still has any doubts, I can give thousends of facts, about Oseetians settlement into central Georgia.the Rusisan Tsarist, then bolshevic-communist and now putinist Russia crimes are quite visible, and if someone can't see that abnormal behavior against Georgians, then he/she has been an ugliest mistake of the nature!

No one's going to falsificate historical facts...

Everyone knows that Ossetians came to Georgia illegally in the 15th century, and both 've been stealing cows from each other ever since.

Presently, no independent confirmation exists as to who stole more cows from who, Ossetians from Georgians or the other way round.

Still, Ossetians being uncivilized and Russia-lovers, it'll be safe to assume that they stole slightly more.

That does not meet the standards of the civilized mode of behavior and it should not stay unanswered

[Iordan]

It’s ridiculous.
What do you mean writing about uncivilized ossetians and Russian-lovers???

[Iordan]

Gogebashvili is indeed a famous writer and teacher and you correctly describe this translated material as contradictory..

I meant that Gogebashvili's citation is disproving your words that

The term ‘South Ossetia’, invented by Russian Bolsheviks in 1922 after their military conquest .

Having no desire to be accused of free interpretation of his phrase.I at the same time can’t but point out that the Ossetians have settled not only in mountainous areas but also in valleys and large cities. The writer may have referred to this term in regards with the people (not the land)

Ossetians lived in the South Ossetia mentioned by Gogebashvili as separate rural communities and that is why at that time they don’t have centralized state.
As to Gogebashvili message
He definitely told about South Ossetia which was the same part of Ossetia as North Ossetia.

Гогебашвили в разделе «Соседние страны» пишет: «Осетины являются горским народом. Они занимают срединную часть Кавказского хребта, от Хевсуретии до Сванетии. Одни из них живут по ту сторону хребта, на его северных склонах, другие на этой стороне, на южных склонах. По этой причине Осетия разделяется на две части: Северную Осетию и Южную Осетию…(That is the reason why Ossetia devided into two parts: North Ossetia and South Ossetia)».

The verb 'divide' is quite confusing here, 'coz it doesn't say who were calling these areas 'North Ossetia' and 'South Ossetia'. Not Georgians for sure, and not even Russian conquerors who were in physical control of the region and could otherwise have created an administrative entity with such a name. Are you telling me that the Ossetians back in XIX century were like present-day Pushtuns of Vaziristan, living as tribes? After all, the area as a part of the Tiflis District ('Gubernya') was administratively governed from this city. Tax collected from Ossetian peasants was also relevantly going to Tiflis. Therefore, they could not exist as 'separate rural community'. In any case Tskhinvali situated near the main transport road of the whole Caucasus was until the mid-XX century dominated by Jewish community, which is proved by the official census data, so Gogebashvili instead of Tskhinvali and other territories down in the valley might mean the town of Java and surrounding mountainous areas indeed largely populated by the Ossetians.

I am sure that sonn ossetians will undestand what it is - to be russians province. And after this they will happily agree to be as it MUST be- part of Georgia . Its better to be Georgian province than Russian.

[free-osetia]

Сегодня в мире редко торжествует справедливость. Тем бо-
лее, в наше циничное и расчетливое время. Однако в случае с
Южной Осетией праведный суд состоялся. Вероломное нападе-
ние Грузии завершилось фатально для агрессора.
«Кто с мечом к нам придет, тот от меча и погибнет» – это
утверждение Александра Невского еще раз с неотвратимостью
подтвердилось и в новейшей истории. В середине XX века Рос-
сия стала освободительницей Европы, в начале XXI – освободи-
тельницей Кавказа. Грузинский фюрер разделил участь своего
германского предшественника, хотя и пытался копировать его
действия.

Ossetians want to live peacefully.

Ok we will see who called that area like South Ossetia or simply Ossetia. )) a little bit later
And you are right not only Georgians and Russians called that region like Ossetia. Foreign travelers also noticed that.

[Tamara_Georgia Girl]

word OSSETIA etymology comes from georgian language, so it become known from georgians, as we saved that people from starvation and death in poor North Caucasian lands! before Ossetia had been called as their major ethnonym, they were called Alans and Irons (dygorons). so as a result, Oseetia is a given name to alans by georgians. after thier living in Georgia, ''Ossetians'' were introduced as ethnic group, in the past noone ever knew about them, except other North Caucasian tribes!

what about the ''free-osetia'' dumb ,i should mention that he/she is not ossetian definitly, but I know perfectly that he/she is real MONGOLOID, living in a very cold snowy CAVE in North!!! ------------->>> that's why his/her braine is so FROZEN!!

It’s wrong and you should not spread that falsehood
Ossetia is Georgians' version of native ossetian name ASS. Such a name as ASS was widespread on the East. Alanians is a name that nation but which was widespread on the West among European nations.
As known many alanians and sarmatians (or scythians) were soldiers of Rome Empire some of them become a part of native European nations.
That is why in Europe about 300 (maybe more ) settlements have in their name alan/sarmatian or different modification of those words.

First of all everybody understands that that was a provocation
Secondly if you talk about something you have to understand that Georgians have been killing and have already driven out thousands of ossetians from their homeland.
What about southern slope of Caucasus Gogebashvili have said clearly where Ossetia was in his time.
