Description

Mark Bliev's thorough book immerses the reader in history from the most ancient times, including the centuries-long attempts of Georgian princes to deprive the Ossetians of freedom and land, and the extremely inconsistent actions of Russian viceroys in the Caucasus. Only Nicholas I understood the situation better than others and opposed the scale of the punitive measures directed against the Ossetians. North Ossetia lived under the laws of the Russian Empire, while South Ossetia remained practically under the rule of Georgian oppressors. Stalin continued the tradition, shifting the border with Georgia so that the entire Georgian Military Road went to it. Especially valuable is the opportunity to trace step by step how the new Georgia sought to push the Ossetians out of their native lands, beginning in 1990 by denying South Ossetia the right to autonomous existence. The Sochi Agreements, from the era of the games Shevardnadze played with Yeltsin, made Russia the sole guarantor of South Ossetia's existence, which is constantly threatened by Tbilisi's adventurism.
