		In fact, the Ossetians just beyond the Darial Gorge in North Ossetia-Alania and those south of the Caucasus range in the self-proclaimed Republic of South Ossetia (whose autonomous region was abolished by Gamsahurdia) claim to be descendants of the ancient Alan tribes that once stroke terror across Eastern Europe and the Ukrainian plains.
		Almost exactly one year ago, I stood on the ancient fortresses and cave cities of Crimea, Ukraine, some of which were built by a branch of the Alan tribes, and a sense of excitement overcame me as I sped towards a region where the living descendants of these people flourish today.
