Ok, here is another history lesson for you. When the USSR has collapsed, it gave a possibility to ANY former person with a Soviet passport get a Russian citizenship. Georgia hasn't provided such a possibility to Ossetians because they are not Georgians because Zviad Gamsakhurdia - the first Georgian president proclaimed his famous term:
"Georgia is for Georgians!". So as you my understand, the Ossetian people become non-citizens. Should I continue the explanation or you just turn your brain on?
