There are some small cultural difference between Georgians and Ossetians and Russia has a policy supporting secessionist movements in the other former Soviet Republics to weaken them. This became the cocktail that led to the South Ossetian movement to break away from Georgia. That this is primarily motivated by Russia also explains why North Ossetia (which is in Russia) has not attempted to break away from Russia: they would have no funding to do so.
