Day of Remembrance for Victims of Deportation was celebrated in Ingushetia

In memory of the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the deportation of the Ingush, collective prayers were held in the mosques of the republic.

The funeral event took place at the Memorial of Memory and Glory in Nazran. The meeting was attended by the head of Ingushetia, Mahmud-Ali Kalimatov, deputies, members of the government, and elders. Charity events are also held in the region. Exhibitions are open in museums and libraries, and meetings are held between schoolchildren and youth with eyewitnesses of the events of 80 years ago.

On February 23, 1944, Soviet authorities ordered the deportation of Chechens and Ingush from the North Caucasus region to Central Asia and Siberia. As a result, from 20% to 35% of the population of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic died.
