From the editor . Recall that Novaya Gazeta has long been following the fate of Chechen public figure Ruslan Kutaev, who was convicted of possession of drugs, a crime that never happened. The real fault of Kutaev is that, contrary to the ban of the authorities, he dared to organize a scientific and practical conference dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the deportation of the Caucasian peoples. Now the process is at the stage of appealing against the decision of the court. Novaya continues to follow the case.
