Tskhinvali blog: "Russia recognized us! And next..."

Нас признала Россия! а что дальше...

The following is a translation of rupor_naroda's most recent livejournal blog post. He appears to be in favor of Russian annexation of South Ossetia. I translated his earlier posts written during the invasion of Tskhinvali earlier this month. They can be found here.

"To be honest, no one believed that they would recognize us. I thought the soonest this could happen would be after 2-3 years. Medvedev has demonstrated will and steadfastness. At last Russia became more decisive. This should have happened a long time ago. From now on, a new chapter begins in the history of Russia and Ossetia. I think the next to recognize South Ossetia will be Belarus, and as a result we will enter into the alliance of Belarus-Russia-South Ossetia. The phase of collecting Russian soil is beginning! Medvedev and Putin--collectors of Russian soil!"
