Whom to swear allegiance to now?

Met an old friend in Khasavyurt. He was coming from the military registration and enlistment office. We started talking, and he told me that he had been trying to join the army for a long time. Everything is in vain. He let it slip: “I wanted to give money, but they didn’t take it.” And they don’t take money and just send it. In general, a strange situation. I thought: why?

I remembered how in the United States they tried to fight crime in disadvantaged areas. It turned out that the reason was the high birth rate. In such areas, boys grew up among gangsters and drug addicts. Out of desperation, these children engaged in drug trafficking and robbery, like their parents. The problem was solved simply: abortions were allowed. A generation has changed and crime has decreased significantly.

It would seem, how are these stories connected? It's very simple. Most likely, the experts decided to get rid of several problems at once: the presence of Caucasians in military units and improvement in the regions of the country.

By depriving young people of a military ID at the age of nineteen, the authorities are trying to reduce the flow of Caucasians to central and other parts of Russia. Without a military ID, they now won’t hire you to join the guards, where Caucasians try to get a job upon arrival. And with the low level of education in the Caucasian republics, it makes no sense to enter the central universities of the country. They won't do it. And after the young people finish their studies at home, what should they do? They don't take you to serve. With a diploma in hand, but without a military ID, there is only one thing left to do: look for relatives to get a job. Or pay a lot of money to get a job somewhere. There is, of course, another option - to go trade on the market.

This all looks like a policy of getting rid of problems with a scalpel. How they did it in the USA. Ours took extreme measures, just like in the USA. Turning a blind eye to the Constitution and prohibiting people from serving in the army is not a solution to the situation. Instead of educating young people and pacifying the bureaucracy, the central government cut off a piece of itself - the Caucasus. Now Caucasians are being deprived of the right to military service. And whoever has no rights has no responsibilities.

Dagestani, Ingush, Chechen, Kabardian, Balkar, Karachai, Circassian - they no longer swear allegiance to Russia. They have no responsibilities to their country.

But there is an alternative - you can swear allegiance to another ruler. And the Russian authorities may not like this alternative. And then it will be too late - the problem will be different.

As he was leaving, an acquaintance asked the question: “Who needs us?” I answered: “To each other.”

And this need of Caucasians for each other, secured by the customs of our ancestors, made us strong.

What's next? Will they deprive me of my Russian passport? Will they be deprived of citizenship? Or maybe someone needs the Caucasus without Caucasians? There is only one answer to all these questions: time. It will put everything in its place.
