You either mean "the Soviet Union is trying to get its land back" or "Russia is trying to get Soviet Union's land back". The answer seems to be yes.

From DailyMail.co.uk:

It is not so much about land as it is Russia sending a message to Georgia and other states involved in the CDC (Community of Democratic Choice). Russia desires to maintain its influence over these nations.

Russia claims to be ending their invasion.

We don't use natural gas for heating also as the main means of getting resources to Europe goes through Poland i doubt this will occur.

As soon as the US declares war on Russia, say goodbye to civilization. World War 3 will be the destruction of the world.

Ever heard of MAD? Mutually assured destruction, it means that two nuclear powers are, with todays technology, unlikely to ever attack each other with nuclear weapons as they know that they too will be attacked with nuclear weapons.
Any war between two nuclear powers is more likely to be fought by allies and also economically, technologically and culturally. In other words the cold war.

Russia has deployed tactical Nukes to South Ossetia.

I don't think they're actually going to use them for anything more than intimidation unless they really want to destroy their political image, but you never know.

Good news, although Georgia says there are still bombings going on (who knows if it's true...). Either the Russians are confident they hit their objectives, or there was some behind-the-doors diplomatic deal.

An important concern is whether this "end of military operations" will also apply to the Russian-backed Abkhazian separatist forces who were supposedly moving to attack Georgian forces. If those continue their attacks, things could spiral out of control again.

destruction to russia heil georgia....
