The search for Bekkhan Aushev, who went missing on July 21 in the Dzheyrakhsky District of Ingushetia, is now in its ninth day. Preliminary reports suggest he may have been swept away by the current of the Assa River. However, the number of volunteers participating in the search operation is dwindling day by day.
Ingushetia and other regions of the North Caucasus have the lowest personal income levels in Russia. In the RIA Novosti rating, Ingushetia ranked 85th, with a per capita income to cost ratio of 1.20 and a per capita income of 26,800 rubles per month, the lowest in the country.
The Karachay-Cherkess Republic ranked 83rd with a ratio of 1.63. Dagestan, Chechnya, and North Ossetia also rank near the bottom of the list, ranking 83rd, 78th, 74th, and 72nd. In these regions, the purchasing power of the population lags significantly behind the Russian average.
Analysts emphasize the large gap between regions, reaching 7.7 times. Chukotka (207,000) and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (171,000) led the way in terms of income. Moscow, the Magadan and Sakhalin regions, St. Petersburg, the Moscow and Murmansk regions, and Adygea also made the top ten.
