In Dagestan, SVO participants asked authorities to send local Chechens to war

SVO participants from the Kazbekovsky district of the republic addressed the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov. They demanded that local Chechens be sent to war, who, in their opinion, are holding onto land plots and interfering with their distribution.

The video message addressed to Melikov states that “representatives of the Chechen people” are interfering with the surveying of lands near Leninaul, allocated by the authorities for veterans of the war against Ukraine.

“This raises the following question: when SVO participants carry out tasks, come home to rest, come to their lands to mark the boundaries – those people who have never taken part in SVO and do not plan to, they come here and remove these marks. Why doesn’t the military registration and enlistment office attract these people and send them there?” the applicants are indignant.

Let us recall that before Stalin's deportation, the Chechens-Aukhs lived on the mentioned lands. They are seeking the restoration of the former Aukh district, which historically included part of the modern Kazbekovsky district. The Public Council of Chechens of Aukh has repeatedly asked the authorities to "freeze" the sale and distribution of land plots.

The problem of restoring the Chechen Aukh district, transferred from Checheno-Ingushetia to Dagestan during the deportation of Chechens in 1944, has been dragging on for many decades. Moscow allocated budget funds for the resettlement of those who occupied the houses of the Akkin Chechens during their forced expulsion, as well as after their return to their homeland.
