This group is devoted to elaborate on obtaining long lasted missing justice for the nations of the North Caucasus. It is also dedicated to concentrate on human rights issues that had been abducted when the invaders conquered and colonized the region.
(по мотивам онлайн – дискуссии на Кавказском узле «Где границы свободы слова? Артемий Лебедев против черкесов…» 26 ноября 2020)
Начало инцидента с А. Лебедевым
Скандальная ситуация А. Лебедева непосредственно связана с установкой памятника, который назывался «Монумент подвигу русских солдат». Ей предшествовала долгая непростая преамбула, так что незначительная фигура Артемия Лебедева – лишь крайнее звено в необозримо длинной цепи… Он лишь «грубо и зримо» перевел «тайное» в разряд «явного».

Moscow Treating North Caucasus Republics like Colonies, Khatazhukov Says
Paul Goble
Staunton, October 27 – Many Russians and others as well blame conditions in the North Caucasus republics on the nations there, blaming them for the authoritarianism of their regimes. But that is not the cause of the situation. These republics began to build serious civil societies in the 1990s, but then Moscow crushed them, Valery Khatazhukov says.
The Circassian head of the Kabardino-Balkar Human Rights Protection Center says that the reason for this change was not the second post-Soviet Chechen war but rather the Kremlin’s decision to treat Chechnya and the other republics as colonies and test repressive measures there before using them elsewhere (caucasustimes.com/ru/valerij-hatazhukov-kreml-vystraivaet-svoi-otnoshenija-s-severnym-kavkazom-kak-metropolija-s-kolonijami/).

Chechens Turned to Islam to Find Justice But Circassians Already had It, Bzegezhev Says
Paul Goble
Staunton, October 25 – Russians and other outsiders are accustomed to lumping together all the peoples of the North Caucasus, except for the North Ossetians, as Muslims, but what it means for each of them to be a Muslim varies widely depending on the nature of their cultural code before Islam arrived and whether it provided justice, Askhad Bzegezhev says.
Writing on Moscow’s Snob portal, the Circassian commentator says he always was struck by the fact that Russians call all Circassians Muslims while none of his relatives, friends or acquaintances go to mosques or wear the hijab or otherwise behave as Russians expect Muslims to (snob.ru/profile/32165/blog/171092/).
