Sucks what Georgia did to Ossetia, just read on ProleWiki and apparently Georgia bombed them among other things.
In August 2008, Georgia bombed South Ossetia. They fired missiles at civilian areas but were quickly driven out by Russian forces.
South Ossetia declared independence from Georgia in 1990. Georgia responded by removing its autonomous status and imposing Georgian as the official language, causing Ossetians to rebel. 1,000 South Ossetians were killed by the Georgian military. In 1992, Russian troops entered South Ossetia to protect against another Georgian attack.

Yeah, yet another region where USSR meant peace, coexistence and modernisation and which went to hell immediately after USSR was destroyed.
If only the USSR wasn’t overthrown tbh
