Circassians in the Homeland and Abroad Being Transformed by the Internet, Kabard Says

Paul Goble

            Staunton, September 14 – The Internet is transforming Circassians both in the North Caucasus homeland where it is helping ever more of its members to insist on their identity as Circassians in the upcoming census and in the diaspora where it is bringing together many who had little contact before.

            Both of these developments are welcome, Circassian activist Andzor Kabard says; but they raise challenges which no other national group has ever had to deal. The Circassians are currently being forced to “act in terra incognita given that they simply do not have any model to copy” (natpressru.info/index.php?newsid=12138). Read more →

Circassians at Home and Abroad Call on KBR Head to Block Moscow’s Illegal Actions

Paul Goble

            Staunton, August 25 – Circassians in the North Caucasus homeland and the diaspora have appealed to Kazbek Kokov, head of Kabardino-Balkaria, to intervene to block charges brought by federal authorities against Martin Kochesokov and Ramazan Molov, arguing that he has “sufficient authority” to interpose against “illegal actions” by federal structures.

            This is a breakthrough development. In the past, national groups have urged that charges they view as fabricated be dropped or that those indicted be found innocent. But in this case, Circassians are making a much more serious argument by suggesting that heads of republics have the right and power to interpose against federal actions. Read more →

Paul Goble

            Staunton, August 22 – Kabardino-Balkaria is one of the smallest republics in the Russian Federation, but under Stalin, a greater percentage of its educated elite was shot than in any other autonomous or even union republic, according to the late Yevgeny Naloeva, a Kabard scholar who herself was sent to the GULAG.
