An OPEN LETTER TO the Honorable Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny
Date: 29 January 2021
Had it not been for your persistence at the forefront to demand citizens’ rights, and had it not been for relentlessly expressing your determination to combat corruption that has become destructive in all aspects of the daily life of the citizens in your country, you would never have been exposed to abuse and harm in more than one occasion. You endured dangerous and unenviable consequences.
Millions of people have breathed a sigh for your recovery after you were poisoned due to exposure to nerve gas, and your urgent transfer to Germany for treatment. However, the joy of return from Germany safe and sound was not complete as a result of immediate detention and being taken into police custody upon diversion and landing at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport instead of Vnukovo airport. Thus, the authorities’ legal procedures and measures began to be implemented. Read more

Abstract
The passage of time has not changed domineering colonial mindset since the era of adopting the policy of expansion, conquest and despotism of the Russian Empire. The change of successive regimes has proven that their colonial mentality has never changed, while the successive generations who adopted and still embrace ideas, principles and rituals, which are contrary to democratic basics and the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Actually, they still behave in contradiction with human concepts in their activities, words and deeds. Obviously, it is neither the ruling regimes, nor the Russian Orthodox Church, nor the extremist groups associated with them, believe to this day to stop marginalizing others, as they have not kept pace with the development of technology in line with respect of others irrespective of their origin, culture, or religion, where the progress of science has not changed the superficial view based on expansionist nationalism. In short, it is indispensable to address the traditional exclusionary methods and failure to understand what a respect for human dignity represents. However, the Circassians through their intellectuals, steer the moral compass and present the facts that speak for themselves. The narrow-minded parties can’t adapt to technologies based on global civilization that considers mutual respect that would include all peoples and nations with no exception. Thus, they create crises to break the laws according to different perspectives, mainly, for the sake of intimidating the peoples and nations, who were victims of the colonial policies of barbaric invasion and their consequences.

Moscow’s Misrepresentations about Colonial War in Caucasus Set the Stage for New Violence, Khakuasheva Says
Paul Goble
Staunton, December 11 – George Santayana’s observation that those who forget the past are condemned to relive it is taking on new urgency in the Russian Federation where the lies some Russian leaders and media figures are telling about the tsarist colonial wars in the Caucasus are setting the stage for new violence, Madina Khakuasheva says.
The senior scholar at the Kabardino-Balkar Institute for Research on the Humanities argues that the increasing insistence by such Russians that the Circassians and other peoples of the region were exclusively to blame for Russian losses during the tsarist colonial advance rather than the regime that dispatched troops is backfiring (natpressru.info/index.php?newsid=12233).
