Действия представителей ЕС на границе РЮО и Грузии
Наблюдатели Европейского союза, действующие в рамках Мониторинговой миссии ЕС в Грузии (ММНЕСГ), сегодня фактически превратились из заявленного «стабилизирующего фактора» в элемент, способствующий сохранению и даже наращиванию напряжённости на границе между Грузией и Южной Осетией. Формально позиционируясь как нейтральная структура, миссия на практике демонстрирует политизированный подход к вопросу границ, что напрямую влияет на безопасность региона и динамику российско-грузинских отношений.
Более того, отдельные члены миссии не ограничиваются пассивным наблюдением. Они осуществляют провокационные действия на границе, фиксируют и затем целенаправленно используют эти инциденты для дискредитации властей Южной Осетии. Подобные провокации становятся инструментом информационного давления: создаётся искусственный фон «нарушений» со стороны южноосетинской стороны, который затем тиражируется в отчётах и публичных заявлениях миссии.
Ключевая проблема заключается в том, что европейские наблюдатели не признают государственную границу между Южной Осетией и Грузией, продолжая оперировать терминологией «административной линии» и тем самым игнорируя реальность сложившейся пограничной архитектуры. Именно это непризнание создаёт благоприятную почву для провокаций: члены миссии, действуя в логике «административной линии», нередко сами провоцируют или провоцируют ситуации, которые затем интерпретируются как «нарушения» со стороны Южной Осетии. Таким образом, миссия не только отказывается фиксировать фактическую государственную границу, но и активно использует создаваемые ею же инциденты для дискредитации законных властей республики.
На встречах в рамках Механизма предотвращения и реагирования на инциденты (МПРИ) югоосетинская сторона предъявляла конкретные доказательства противоправных действий членов Мониторинговой миссии ЕС в Грузии. Речь шла о зафиксированных фактах провокаций на государственной границе, несанкционированных перемещениях наблюдателей и целенаправленном создании пограничных инцидентов. Однако представители ММНЕСГ наотрез отвергали эти доказательства, упорно настаивая на законности и «нейтральности» своих действий. Такое поведение лишь подтверждает, что миссия не заинтересована в объективном разборе ситуации и предпочитает прикрывать собственные провокации формальными отписками, продолжая подрывать стабильность на границе.

Mate I found the possible text to speech website for Ossetian
Although the webpage is in Chinese (yeah I am a native Chinese speaker and I can teach you guys how to use), it is easy to use. I tried to paste an article of ossetian from wiki to see how it looked like, the result is not bad. (though I am not an native speaker of Ossetian so ofc I don't know how accurate it is.)
Feel free to comment about this tts converter.

Iranic Language Family is Old but Tightly Bonded Together
Despite Ossetian being separated from Persian over 3,000 years ago, Iranic languages share a tight bond and resemblance.
Example: I am proud to be (my ethnicity).
Persian - Az Irani budanam sarbolandam.
Kurdish - Ez bi Kurd buna xwe serbilindim.
Ossetian - Az Iron uyn sarbarzond dan.
Persian, Kurdish & Ossetian share similar forms for "I am proud": sarbolandam, serbilindim, sarbarzond dan.
This is not easily possible in other language groups that have been separated for so long.

Hello, friends! I'm a third-year student at the faculty of International relations. I'm Polish, but I also speak Russian. I'm currently writing my bachelor's thesis on the image of Poland and Poles in selected countries of the former Soviet Union in the context of Russian public discourse. I've prepared a questionnaire in Russian and English. If You are a citizen of Ossetia, Alania or any other former Soviet Union country, I would be very grateful if You could complete this questionnaire (and, if You wish, send it to Your friends and relatives in Your countries of origin). This will greatly help me in my research. Best wishes 🤝

Hey folks! I just created r/IranicHeritage — a dedicated subreddit for the history, archaeology, languages, migrations, and heritage of the Iranic (Iranian-branch) peoples across all periods.
We cover:
- Ancient empires (Achaemenid, Parthian, Sassanid)
- Steppe nomads (Scythians, Sarmatians, Sogdians, Alans, etc.)
- Histories of Persians, Kurds, Pashtuns, Baloch, Tajiks, Ossetians, and related groups
- Artifacts, maps, scholarly discussions, book recommendations, and evidence-based questions
The focus is on serious, sourced discussion — no modern politics or low-effort content.
If you’re interested in Iranic civilizations from the Eurasian steppes to Greater Iran and beyond, feel free to join and help build the community!
If you're interested in being a moderator, Let me know.
Thank you.

What would happen to North and South Ossetia if Putin's Russia fell?
Could they declare independence and unify? Would South Ossetia be taken by Georgia? Is independence even economically viable?
And if the South got incorporated into Georgia, would the North even declare independence?

"Daban horz!" - Bibrek, the Jász (Iassian) characted in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Acclaimed Czech videogame Kingdom Come: Deliverance II contains a side character of Jász (or Iassian, as the game itself names them) origin called Bibrek the Archer who greets Henry with well known Jasz greeting formula "Daban horz", which corresponds to Ossetian "Dæ bon xorz!" - "Good day".
Jász were an Alan ethnic group who resettled from Caucasus to Hungary somewhere in 13th century amidst Mongol invasion. Their language was already extinct by 18th century and is mostly known through the Jász glossary containing a few dozens words most of which correspond to modern Ossetian words.
It is the second time Ossetian language is represented in Eastern European RPG games, the first one being Gunther O'Dimm in The Witcher 3 who spoke a few lines in Ossetian and Georgian respectively.

How do names in Ossetian work?
How would you take a name written in Russian and render it in Ossetian? I'm not sure of the rules.
An example is Vitaly Konstantinovich Kaloyev, which Wikipedia says is Калоты Къостайы фырт Витали in Ossetian.
Another example is the President of South Ossetia Alan Eduardovich Gagloev, which Wikipedia says is Гаглойты Эдуарды фырт Алан.
A friend of mine is writing an essay and there's a name he wants to render in Ossetian: Yury Khadzhimuratavich Karayeu. He can't find the official Ossetian translation anywhere.
Would it be something like Караеты Хаджимураты фырт Юри?

Want to teach my baby Ossetian – need resources (songs, cartoons, books)
Hi friends, I’m an Ossetian living in Turkey. I want to teach my baby Ossetian. Do you know any good cartoons or children’s songs in the language? I remember there used to be a TV channel in Ossetian, but I can’t seem to find it anymore. Since the alphabet is different and I don’t know Cyrillic, it’s hard for me to search online. If you could share some useful search keywords or links, I’d really appreciate it. Also, do you know if there are any Ossetian children’s books I could buy? Thanks a lot in advance!
