"If November 23, 1989 the Georgians had entered Tskhinval, today in South Ossetia would not have been Ossetians ..."
One of the most significant milestones in the history of the struggle for the independence of South Ossetia was November 23, 1989. On this day, the Ossetian people were able to see manifestation of the Georgian provincial fascism. The significance of this date, when the ordinary residents of South Ossetia stopped tens of thousands of aggressive nationalists from all over Georgia, who had allegedly tried to hold a "peace rally" in Tskhinval, was discussed at a round table at the press center of the State Committee of Information and Press of the RSO.
