Despite that they have two official languages they are using only Russian.

Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that 1. they russianized 150 years ago 2. 90% are Russian citizens and 3. Georgians tried to cleanse them from their lands to mysteriously they don't want to speak Georgian. Hell, you might as well tell the Ukrainians that they should be speaking Polish.

Russianized?? I through that you will say Georgianized. At least it was one of the pretext to proclaim independence and noew they are using Russian... So they were Russianized. Any comments? Sakashvilli offered them wide autonomy so problem with Ossetian language doesn’t exist anymore.

That is because Russia granted them citizenship (scandalous international precedents ) after their gang proclaimed independence. Russia has unofficial territorial claim towards Georgia. And Kremlin is so afraid of potential Estonian territorial claim! Again, what a big hypocrisy…
