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.
