The bilateral basing arrangement between the South Ossetian de facto authorities and Russia, signed in August 2008 alongside recognition. It converted an ambiguous 1990s peacekeeping presence into a declared permanent one and removed any prospect of the boundary changing by other means.
Russia in the Caucasus maintains a presence hosted by South Ossetia / Tskhinvali region (de facto). A directional arrangement: the two parties do not hold the same position in it. Authored once and read from both ends.

ملخص
On 26 August 2008, two weeks after the ceasefire that ended the August war, Russia recognised Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states and signed basing agreements with each. The arrangement with the South Ossetian de facto authorities converted the ambiguous peacekeeping formats of the 1990s into a declared, permanent Russian military presence on territory Georgia and almost every other state recognise as Georgian. It has run without interruption since, and no Georgian government has had any mechanism to contest it. Vigil records the existence and the declared basis of the arrangement and publishes nothing about its content: no site, no formation, no strength and no activity.
لماذا يهم
It is what makes Georgia's territorial question frozen rather than contested. The 2008 war is often read as the moment the boundary moved; the basing arrangement is the moment it stopped being movable. Every later development in this file — the integration treaties, the borderisation, the leadership changes — happens inside a settlement this arrangement holds in place.

ما لا يزال مجهولًا
- The text of the basing agreement is not public. This record describes its existence and its declared basis, not its terms.
- Vigil publishes no locations, formations, strengths or activity for this arrangement, and the absence is structural rather than a gap this record expects to fill.
