The Soviet Union isn't Russia?

Before Georgia was annexed by the Russians the Georgians and Ossetians lived together as peaceful as any race could.  When the Russians annexed it, a wedge was drawn between the two races because racism is the easiest way to keep the masses subjugated.

Georgians and Ossetians lived together peacefully during the Soviet Union.  When the Soviet Union fell and the Soviet republics gained independence, many smaller ethnicities thought they should have independence too.

Countries like the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia had good relations between ethnicities.  Ethnic problems in the Balkans were unheard of under Tito, and the Soviet Union didnt recognize ethnicity in government (Stalin was a Georgian).
