	North Ossetia (Russia)
		The flag of North Ossetia-Alania is: a horizontal tricolour of white-red-yellow (not purple).
		The middle stripe of its flag is reported as "dark red" or "purple" by Russian vexillologists so that it may be distinguished from the flag of South Ossetia (Georgia) with bright red middle stripe.
		The flag is of ratio 2:3, the yellow stripe being 1/20 of the flag height and the mauve stripe being 1/5 of the flag height.

	South Ossetia
		The term "South Ossetia", for instance, has never been accepted by the Georgian side, as it seems to prompt demands for reunification with North Ossetia, which is a part of the Russian Federation.
		Conflicts in South Ossetia became a political issue as a result of an attempt by the South Ossetian Supreme Soviet to upgrade the status of the AO.
		South Ossetia, a land that seems to have been forgotten by the outside world: no ties with Georgia, and hence no supplies from there; almost no attempt made (for lack of financial resources) to rebuild what has been destroyed in the war; factories idle, with the population engaged in subsistence farming.

		The uprisal in South Ossetia left its mark on further policy of the Georgian government in respect to the Communists of Georgia who, despite the right to legal activity granted them by the treaty of 7 May, were persecuted as the "initiators and participants" of the South Ossetian armed uprising.
		The erroneous standpoint of the South Ossetian Bolsheviks was well demonstrated in a document entitled Memorandum of the South Ossetian Workers", of May 28, 1920, addressed to all the chief Party, Soviet and military organizations of Russia and signed by 70 leading Communists of South Ossetia.
		The workers and proletarians of South Ossetia occupying an area north of Tiflis and Kutaisi gubernia and adjoining the Soviet Terek district have overturned the miserable rule of Georgian Mensheviks within its boundaries as that rule was forced upon and extremely unpopular among the people.

		South Ossetia isn't alone in seeking to break with the mother country.
		South Ossetia broke away from Georgia's central government in a war in the early 1990s, and its leader wants to unite it with the Russian province of North Ossetia, making it part of Russia.
		South Ossetia's referendum a week ago, which produced a 99 percent vote for independence, isn't recognized internationally and is unlikely to bring any immediate changes, but Russia called it a "landmark" event and analysts say Moscow could use the results to further pressure Georgia.

	Measuring South Ossetia by Kosovo - Kommersant Moscow
		Moscow's reaction to the presidential elections and the referendum on independence in South Ossetia came after several CIS republics, the leading countries of the West, and key international organizations had already had their say.
		"The pseudoreferendum that was held on September 17, 2006 in the Transdneistr region of the Republic of Moldova and the illegitimate referendum in South Ossetia are coordinated actions aimed at disrupting the efforts of the international community to settle conflicts in the post-Soviet sphere," said the Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
		On October 12, deputies in the South Ossetian parliament appealed to the governments of the Russian autonomous republics of North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkariya, and Karachayevo-Cherkessia with the request to recognize Georgia's responsibility for genocide committed against South Ossetians in 1920 and 1989-1992.

	Russia Profile - South Ossetia Looks North (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		South Ossetia is the smallest of the four non-recognized entities that still smolder in the ruins of the Soviet Union, and it vies with Nagorno-Karabakh as perhaps the least viable independent state.
		But given South Ossetia’s population of less than 70,000, a lack of even rudimentary economic infrastructure, and just a single passable road that leads somewhere besides Georgia, the idea of South Ossetian independence is little short of absurd.
		South Ossetians claim that they voluntarily joined Russia in the eighteenth century and have never left it, explaining their presence in Georgia as the result of the largely arbitrary nature of Soviet national boundaries, which have caused chaos across the post-Soviet space.

		The results of a plebiscite held in South Ossetia, in which a majority of participants favored unification with the Russian Federation, were ignored by Russian authorities.
		Violence has not erupted in South Ossetia since, but because no permanent political solution to the problem has yet been reached, a new outbreak of hostilities is certainly possible.
