I don't get the "Stalin's decision" comment

South Ossetia was part of georgia before it was annexed by Russia in the first place.

Furthermore USSR made it it's own autonomious government more or less.

Really the Georgians and South Ossetians lived together without conflict until the Russian's riled up the area for their own ambitions the first time and it's continued as such.
