Dmitry Medvedev visited Tskhinval for the first time on July 13, 2009, almost a year after the Republic was recognized by the Russian Federation.

The then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree recognizing the sovereignty of South Ossetia and Abkhazia on August 26, 2008 after repelling the Georgian aggression.

A year after the significant event, Medvedev was greeted near the presidential administration building by еру authorities, elders in national costumes and thousands of residents of the Republic.

September 20 is the 31st anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic of South Ossetia. On this day in 1990, the Council of People's Deputies decided to raise the status of the autonomous region to the South Ossetian Soviet Democratic Republic within the Soviet Union. This decision was one of the first steps towards the independence and international recognition of the Republic.

This decision was made due to the socio-political situation in Georgia. The forces of aggressive nationalism relied on massive support.

April 28, 1991 is a tragic date that has remained forever in the modern history of South Ossetia, when seven unarmed residents of the village.of Tsinagar of the Leningor district of South Ossetia - Otar Margiev, Givi Bibilov, Slavik Chertkoev, Zaur Khubulov, Otar Khubulov, Tengiz Dudaev and Taimuraz Khubulov, - defending their pastures from cattle theft, were killed by the Georgian aggressors.

This villainous crime once again shows how low the Georgian Nazism has fallen, not disdaining the murder of peaceful, unarmed, defenseless people.

August 2008 was extremely rich in military and political events. It became a turning point in the further state structure of Transcaucasia.

The practice of international relations allowed two new independent recognized states to appear on the world map - South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The leadership of Russia, in making its decision to recognize their independence, was guided by the will of the peoples, as well as by generally accepted norms of international and humanitarian law.

July 19 The Republic of Nicaragua celebrates a public holiday - the Day of Revolution, or the Day of Freedom. A delegation of South Ossetia headed by President Anatoly Bibilov is participating in the festivities.

For the people of South Ossetia, this distant country has become close. The second state in the world, which recognized the independence of our country after Russia. A republic that has passed the path of struggle and courage on the path to freedom and independence.

On June 8, 1920, at a mass rally in Tskhinval, Revkom proclaimed Soviet power. The events preceding this date and those that followed it entered the history of South Ossetia as the first and the bloodiest genocide of South Ossetia by the then Menshevik Georgia.

The end of May 1992. The very height of the military aggression of Georgia against South Ossetia. The mass exodus of people tired of terror from settlements bordering with Georgia, burned villages (in some cases with people), brutal murders, torture, Zar's execution.

Genocide: as it was. 21 year later
Christmas of 1991 added a bloody page in the history of Ossetia.
January, 6, 1991 – is the beginning of the overt armed aggression of Georgia against the people of South Ossetia. On the night of January, 6 internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR, which had had to support stability, without notice of the Republican leadership deserted their posts and went to the barracks.
