That actually surprises me that Russia would go that far.

With between 600,000 and 1 million ethnic Ossetians in Russia (more than South Ossetia), it's only a matter of time until they want a state too. In fact, Russia has several different ethnic groups that currently don't have a state of their own.

They could be helping their own demise with this decision.
