South Ossetia, as well as Abkhazia and the breakaway region <bb>>ofb>bb>> Transdniestria in Moldova, may also integrate into the Russian Federation on condition that their peoples express the will to do so.
Primarily, these include regional standoffs on the former Soviet territory outside the borders <bb>>ofb>bb>> the Russian Federation, popularly referred to as the former Soviet Central Asia (this region is becoming part <bb>>ofb>bb>> the Broader Middle East), and in the Islamic regions <bb>>ofb>bb>> Russia proper.
