More than Half of North Caucasians Say Their Lives Became Worse in 2019, New Poll Finds

Paul Goble

Staunton, September 9 – Fifty-six percent of the residents of Kabardino-Balkaria, Ingushetia and Daghestan say their lives have become worse in 2019. Only 33 percent said their lives had become better, a gap of 23 percent and one that is far larger than the difference of six percent found in a similar poll in 2017.

The poll of 1200 people selected as a representative sample in Kabardino-Balkaria, Ingushetia, and Daghestan by the Medium Orient Agency for the Prague-based Caucasus Times strongly suggests that North Caucasus residents believe their lives are getting worse (caucasustimes.com/ru/opros-bolee-poloviny-zhitelej-severnogo-kavkaz-stali-zhit-huzhe-v-2019-godu/).

Stalin’s 1949 Instructions on Anti-American Propaganda Again Being Followed in Russia, Mirovich Says

Paul Goble

Staunton, September 8 – On March 1, 1949, Joseph Stalin outlined how Soviet outlets were to carry out anti-American propaganda, instructions that were followed to the letter throughout the remainder of the Soviet period and that, except for a brief time in the early 1990s, are again being followed in Russia today, Maksim Mirovich says.

This propaganda, the Russian blogger says, arose and continues because the rulers of the Russian Federation like those of the USSR hated and hate the United States not just because of its military power but also because the US presents an alternative model of organization for a large and diverse country (kasparov.ru/material.php?id=5D74A2639E94F).

Kalimatov Calls on Ingush People to Ignore Boycott Calls and Vote in Municipal Elections

Paul Goble

Staunton, September 7 – Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov, acting head of Ingushetia, says the Ingush people must ignore calls for a boycott of municipal elections lest by not voting they reduce the sense of responsibility that deputies must always show to the population (ingushetia.ru/news/m_kalimatov_prizval_zhiteley_ingushetii_prinyat_aktivnoe_uchastie_v_munitsipalnykh_vyborakh_/).
