Do you apply the same belief in self-determination to Tibet, Chechnya, the Kurds and [insert various seperatists across the globe here]?Of course Russia has interests in the region, but the important part is that the Ossetians want Russia, the Ossetians are interested in Russia. They had a choice between Georgia or Russia, and they wanted Russia. That being said, there are also North Ossetians within Russia who may or may not have a voice on this issue in Russian politics.
