Ossetian cuisine remain distinctive, though several dishes are borrowed and adapted from the cuisines of Georgia.
South Ossetia officially the Republic of South Ossetia or the State of Alania, is a partially recognised state in the South Caucasus[8][9] It has an officially stated population of just over 56,500 people (2022), who live in an area of 3,900 square kilometres (1,500 sq mi), with 33,000 living in the capital city, Tskhinvali.

The political status of South Ossetia is a central issue of the Georgian–Ossetian conflict and Georgia–Russia relations. The Georgian government informally refers to the area as the Tskhinvali region[b] and considers it a part of Georgia's Shida Kartli region. Georgia maintains local councils elected in 2006 in Akhalgori, Kurta, Tighvi and Eredvi municipalities before they were captured by the separatists and Russia in 2008.
The South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast, established by Soviet authorities in Moscow in 1922, declared independence from the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic in September 1990. Towards the end of 1990, the situation for ethnic Georgians in the region worsened sharply. There were reports of multiple cases of lootings and beatings committed both by Georgian and Ossetian forces and paramilitaries.[13] The Georgian government responded by abolishing South Ossetia's autonomy and dispatching its troops to the region.[14] The escalating crisis led to the 1991–1992 South Ossetia War with Russian involvement on the Ossetian side.[15][16][17] After the war, the conflict remained frozen throughout 1990s and saw two major escalations in 2000s: in 2004 and in 2008.[18][19] The latter conflict led to the full-scale Russo-Georgian War of August 2008, during which Ossetian and Russian forces gained full de facto control of the territory of the former South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast. Since the 2008 war, Georgia and a significant part of the international community have regarded South Ossetia as occupied by the Russian military.
South Ossetia relies heavily on military, political, and financial aid from Russia.[20][21] Since 2008, the South Ossetian government has expressed their intention of joining the Russian Federation; if successful, this would end its proclaimed independence. The prospect of a referendum on this matter has been raised multiple times in domestic politics, but none has taken place.
Etymology: The name 'Ossetia' is derived from the Ossetian ethnic group. The Ossetians are believed to originate from the Alans, a nomadic Iranian tribe.[22] In the 8th century a consolidated Alan kingdom, referred to in sources of the period as Alania, emerged in the northern Caucasus Mountains. Around 1239–1277 Alania fell to the Mongol and later to Timur's armies, who massacred much of the Alanian population. The surviving Alans retreated into the mountains of the central Caucasus and gradually migrated south, across the Caucasus Mountains into the Kingdom of Georgia.
