South Ossetian Cossack community has revived
In August 2008, owing to the assistance of the Russian Federation and its army was won a historic victory over the Georgian neo-fascism. The aggressor had intended to carry out a few hours operation "Open Field," that is to destroy completely the local population, enslave it, and then establish its rule on the entire territory of South Ossetia. However, the bloody enemy intentions went awry. Soon after the massacre, Russia recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
