“RUSSIA supports OSSETIA’s independency “

That’s a joke. They have never supported anyone’s independence

[McGruff]

The crisis, the first to confront Russian President Dmitry Medvedev since he took office in May, has flared in a region emerging as a key energy transit route, and where Russia and the West are vying for influence.

Medvedev vowed to defend Russian “compatriots” in South Ossetia, where most people have been given Russian passports.

The majority of the roughly 70,000 people living in South Ossetia are ethnically distinct from Georgians. They say they were forcibly absorbed into Georgia under Soviet rule and now want to exercise their right to self-determination.

Like you say I'm sure Russia will grant them autonomy.

You are probably right...
That’s a bad joke from RUSSIA which feigns to support OSSETIA independency to weaken GEORGIA dividing it and trying to control pipe-lines and Georgian oil...

That’s how i understand the situation....
