In the last years o the Soviet Union, as naitionalist muivements swept throughoot the Caucasus, mony intellectuals in the North Ossetian ASSR cried for the revival o the name o Alanie, a medieval kinrick o the Alans, ancestors o the modren-day Osseties. The term o "Alanie" quickly became popular in Ossetie daily life throu the names o various enterprises, a TV channel, poleetical an civic organisations, publishin hoose, soccer team, etc. In November 1994, the name o "Alanie" wis offeecially addit tae the republican title (Republic o North Ossetie–Alanie).[11]
