Dieser, nach der neuesten Nummerierung sechste, aber der absoluten Zählweise nach siebzehnte Kongress des ossetischen Volkes versammelte sich zum ersten Mal in Zchinwal. Zum seltsamen Zusammentreffen der Umstände – hat er sich am Vortag des siebzehnjährigen Bestehens der Republik Südossetien versammelt. Möge niemand diese Jubelzahl täuschen. Ein Jubiläum ist es trotzdem – in diesem Jahr wurde der erste Volkskongress neunzig Jahre. Ossetien hat neunzig Jahre lang durch bürgerliche Institute die Lücken der staatlichen Einheit geschlossen. Das Volk wählt neunzig Jahre die unteilbare öffentliche Vertretung, die Zeitweiligkeit aller Versuche der politischen Teilung anschaulich demonstrierend.

By a strange concurrence of circumstances – it gathered the day before the seventeenth anniversary of the Republic of South Ossetia. Let this teenager number deceive nobody. All the same we’re having an anniversary this year – ninety years have passed since the first national congress had been held.

For ninety years people have been electing indivisible public representation, thus pointing at the irregularity and temporariness of all attempts of political division.
