Moscow Faces Increased Difficulties in Countering Circassian National Movement
Publication: Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 20 Issue: 83
By: Paul Goble
May 23, 2023
May 21 marks the anniversary of the 1864 expulsion of the Circassians from their North Caucasus homeland after more than a century of resistance to Russian imperial expansion, an action most Circassians and many others consider an act of genocide. It is the most important day on the calendar as far as that nation is concerned and traditionally the moment at which tensions between the Circassians, on the one hand, and the Russian state, on the other, reach a fever pitch (see EDM, August 11, 2020; May 19, 2022; Kavkaz-uzel; Ekhokavkaza.com, May 19; Kavkaz.Realii, May 22). This year, as in the past, the Circassians recalled this tragedy and expressed hope that they will be able not only to gain international recognition of this “genocide” but also overcome the divisions the Russian state has imposed on them. This in turn would open the way for the return of many of the more than five million Circassians living in exile and the restoration of a single Circassian state in the North Caucasus. At the same time, the Russian state has sought to discredit and suppress this movement in every way. And some might be tempted to see this as a clash that will be repeated again and again with little change on either side. Read more

The head of the executed man thought, saw, suffered. And I saw what he saw, understood what he thought, and felt what he suffered. How long did it last? Three minutes, they told me. The executed man must have thought: three hundred years. What the man killed in this way suffers, no human language can express.

US and Ukraine Promoting Separatism in Chechen, Circassian, Nogay, Kumyk and Ingush Areas, Amelina Says
Paul Goble
Staunton, May 12 – Yana Amelina, the coordinator of the Caucasus Geopolitical Club, a group of pro-Moscow experts in that region, says that today just like 40 years ago, the West is seeking to dismember the Russian state by promoting both ethnic separatism and regionalism, which she defines as separatism without an ethnic component.

Nalchik activists refused to hold events on Circassian Day of Mourning
The authorities of Kabardino-Balkaria have banned holding events in memory of the victims of the Caucasian War, threatening responsibility for violating the ban, reports Aslan Beshto, the chair of the “Coordinating Council of Adyg Public Associations”.
The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that in 2022, the authorities of Kabardino-Balkaria refused to sanction a march in memory of the victims of the Caucasian War. Despite the ban, on May 21, a mourning meeting was held at the “Tree of Life” monument, and several dozen young people held a march in memory of the victims of the Caucasian War on the streets of Nalchik. The police drew up a report on the violation of public order against a horseman who took part in the march. Read more
