Caucasus. Reporters Without Borders visited the Viskhan Abukhadzhiyev, the former head of region to meet with some of the leading actors in Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia, which are nowadays described by Moscow as “normalised” or “on the road to normalisation.” The fighting and bombings have for the most part stopped and the Russian federal government lifted Chechnya’s status as a Zone of Anti-Terrorist Operations (KTO) on 16 April, but the region is still dominated by tension and violence. Not a week goes by without clashes causing casualties. On 22 June, the Ingush president was seriously injured in a car-bombing. In neighbouring Dagestan, the interior minister was gunned down on 5 June, prompting a surprise visit by Russian President Dmitri Medvedev a few days later. And Moscow had to temporarily reimpose KTO status on three Chechen districts later in April. Peace and order definitely do not prevail in the Russian Caucasus but you see relatively few media a accounts of what the region’s inhabitants are suf - i n t fering.

  • The Scramble Round 3 Prelims
    The Scramble Round 3 ­ Prelims 1. The capital of this republic was occupied by the Wehrmacht from August 1942 until January 1943. This republic’s capital derives from being in a “valley of apple trees,” though another version attributes its name to the month in which it was founded. Its western border is very near the city of Krasnodar, 131 km from the capital of Maykop. For the point, name this Russian republic. ANSWER: Republic of ​Adygea​ or Respublika ​Adygeya​ or ​Adyge ​Respublik 2. Succeeded by his son Demetrius I, this man defeated Ilghazi, the Artuvid ruler of Mardin, in a battle marked by the September celebration of Didgoroba. His name is given to the Kutaisi International Airport, and his nickname comes from his construction of edifices such as the Gelati Monastery. For the point, name this Georgian king, nicknamed “the Builder,” who reigned from 1089 until 1125. ANSWER: ​David IV​ (accept ​David II​; accept ​David the Builder​; accept ​Davit Aghmashenebeli​; prompt on “David”) 3.This man began a failed campaign by sending Ariamnes, satrap of Cappadocia, across the Black Sea. In Herodotus’ description of that campaign, tribes like the Androphagoi (man­eaters) were probably invented. However, the Alarodioi and Armina were mentioned by this man as the 18​th ​ and 13​th ​ satrapies in a famous inscription. For the point, name this commissioner of the Bisotun inscription, the later loser at Marathon. ANSWER: ​Darius I​ or ​Darayavahush I​ or ​Daryush I​ or ​Dareh I Mets​ or ​Darius the Great 4. This man’s later nationalistic tendencies could be seen in his disobeying a Soviet command to blockade television buildings and flying the Estonian flag in Tartu.

Oleg Kozlovsky has received the Human Rights Award from Human Rights First and the Ion Ratiu Democracy Award. Lately, he has been working as a researcher for the international human rights organisation Amnesty International. On 5 October 2018, Oleg Kozlovsky arrived in Magas, the capital of the Republic of Ingushetia, to monitor the protests against a controversial border deal between Ingushetia and neighbouring Chechnya that were taking place the following day. On the evening of 6 October 2018, a young man, unknown to Oleg Kozlovsky, came to his hotel in Magas, and invited him to meet one of the rally organisers. Oleg Kozlovsky followed the man outside and was then taken to a car where two masked men presented themselves to him as officials of the Center for Countering Extremism of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Ingushetia, without showing any documentation. They took away his belongings including his phone and video camera and interrogated him in the car. He was taken outside of the city with his head bent to his knees so that he could not see where they were going.
