South Ossetia

Words by: unknown
Music by: Vittorino Hallmayr
Adopted: 1991

The Ossetians are a people group that live primarily in southern Russian and northern Georgia, in the Caucusus mountains. In late 1991 the Georgian region of South Ossetia declared independence, which hasn't been recognized by Georgia or any other nation. The anthem remains in use solely by the separatist regime, as a region of Georgia, South Ossetia lacks a unique anthem.

Special thanks to: Ben Cahoon for informing me of this anthem.
