The protest crosses the boundaries

Now the conversation is no longer about the fact that Ingushetia lost its lands - but that she did not receive those related to Chechnya

In the Ingush capital, they shot at a rally - a protracted protest is already difficult to call peaceful.

Why the land dispute in Ingushetia cannot be solved, referring only to history. Olga Bobrova's opinion

The trigger for mass speeches was the “Border Agreement” signed on September 26 by the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov and the head of Ingushetia Yunus-Buck Evkurov. It was a long -ripened issue, the solution of which was sharply necessary for both republics, since every touch on this topic provokes mutual acute pain and does not allow both republics to live calmly. To date, the administrative border between the republics has not been approved, and this was the only such case in Russia. In administrative everyday life, they were guided by an agreement reached by the President of Ichkeria Dudaev and the President of Ingushetia Aushev in 1993-during the section of Chechen-Ingushetia. However, this male agreement has not yet had the power of the document.

The fact that the official approval of the administrative border is being prepared became known at the end of August. Then the situation began to slowly heat up. Firstly, the republic remembered the public statements of Ramzan Kadyrov (2012) about the actual belonging to the Chechnya of half of the Malgobek and the whole Sunzhensky districts, and secondly, against the background of rumors about the division of territories, the Chechen side started building a road on the border with Ingushetia, establishing checkpoints there.

In September, all republican messengers filled the message that secretly from the people was being prepared for the rejection of 17 thousand hectares of the Sunzhensky district in favor of Chechnya.

The numerous gatherings of tees began, each of which made a decision to condemn the transfer of land.

The leadership of Ingushetia was silent, without commenting on these rumors.

On September 25, on the eve of the appointed signing of the Agreement, the Sunge’s Ingush district center took place, about three hundred people came. The audience was addressed by district deputies who said that even they did not know how to share the territory. In the evening after the rally and the next day, the detention of the leaders of the numerous Ingush opposition continued, which urged the people to go out onto the streets. And yet, despite the decapitation of protest, the excitement spread to the metropolitan Magas, where in the morning of the next day, Ramzan Kadyrov and Yunus Bek Yevkurov were supposed to sign an agreement on delimitation. In the morning, at the entrance to Magas, several hundred people gathered who even tried to block the route, but after it was announced that the signing of the agreement took place, this spontaneous rally was dispersed.

"New" contacted the administration of the head of Ingushetia in the first minutes after the signing of the document.

Advisor to Yunus-Bek Evkurov Artem Skrahrist assured us that in the agreement and there is no question of any transfer of lands of Chechnya. Given the minor mutual adjustments, for the purpose of leveling, the border remained in the same place where it was held by Dudaev and Aushev.

The next day, the text of the agreement and the relevant cartographic documents were published on the website of the Government of Ingushetia. The fact of the publication of the document did not affect the rhetoric of republican telegrams-channels: they continued to trim that Ingushetia had lost huge territories. The head of the republic publicly explained the essence of the signed agreements, confirming the fact that Ingushetia had not lost anything. However, this did not reduce the degree of network hysteria.

On October 4, ratification of the agreement was appointed republican deputies. The night before, the Republican Constitutional Court issued a decision on the impossibility of considering the issue of borders by the National Assembly of Ingushetia - but only through a referendum. And the next morning in Magasa there was already a long-term rally (in protest telegrams-channels its number was estimated at 10 thousand, the Republican Ministry of Internal Affairs counted 2 thousand).

The crowd chanted Allah Akbar; Here and there, ZICR was built - a ritual Vainakh group dance.

At half past five deputies of Achilgov, Yevloev and Odereev, who announced that the agreement was not ratified: 15 out of 24 gathered voted against the audience, came to the audience. The vote took place “in a closed”, but the deputies, having left the meeting and observing the rally at the foot of the parliament, discussed who voted, and found that most of them were with the people. Soon, however, an official message published by TASS appeared, and it spoke exactly the opposite: ratification took place, 17 deputies spoke “for”.

Deputies insisted: falsification occurred.

At noon, the head of the Republic of Yevkurov and the chairman of the government Yevloev came to the protesters. Apparently, they tried to talk to the audience, but they did not want to listen to anything. They whistled and even threw something towards representatives of the authorities. There were shots. Telegram channels, actively illuminating the rally, unanimously commented: the protection of Yevkurov shot into the air to cool the protesters.

I again called Artyom a overrite, adviser to the head of Ingushetia, and he expressed his own assumption regarding the nature of the current mass protest:

-Now we can see that many groups on Facebook, as well as numerous telegrams-channels urge people to come out. And we see that only 10% of their traffic is produced in Ingushetia, and the rest is Moscow. Entire teams work there: parameters, designers, editors. A whole network works! For the first time in all my practice, I come across such a planned and well -organized attack.

By the middle of the day, it became clear that the main agenda of protest is by no means a land issue, but the resignation of Yevkurov. In telegram channels, provocative calls appeared.

“It is necessary to storm the administration of the head,” the public called. Nobody remembered the lands.

It must be said that in Ingushetia a rather rich political life is in comparison not even with the Caucasian republics, but also with Russia as a whole. The opposition’s performances are constantly held here, some intrigues in the government and the national assembly are constantly swirling, deputies and ministers often go against the chapter. And not because such democratic and correct - but because the power of Teip is stronger than Evkurov’s authority (which, perhaps, is also not so democratic and correct). Evkurov, from the position of teipes, is only a person who occupies a chair. And for this chair in the republic there is a fierce struggle.

The entire public discussion about the "taken away of the Ingush lands" took place mainly in Ingush. Well, that is, it is difficult to evaluate the arguments that were used during this discussion unable to audience. And yet I tried to find out where the conversations came from about 17 thousand hectares, which Ingushetia allegedly lost?

Representatives of the opposition regional public movement “Mehk-Khel” who arrived in Moscow helped to organize a press conference on the land issue to organize this. It turns out that the indignation of the opposition caused not the fact of the rejection of the Ingush lands (which is not confirmed by documents), but the fact that Ingushetia, according to the results of the demarcation, did not take the lands previously inhabited by the Ingush from Chechnya.

“Bamut, Shaami-Yurt, Sernovodskaya, Assinovskaya, Davydenko ... All these settlements were laid by the Ingush,” said Sultin Sultin Sultin Sultin, listing settlements in the Chechen Republic, the “new” co-chairman. - These lands never belonged to Chechnya, there is not a single Chechen grave. Today we are outraged not by the fact that we were deprived of the lands, but by the fact that they were not returned to us!

That is, in their logical constructions, the representatives of Mehk-Khel resorted to approximately the same technique that Ramzan Kadyrov previously used, insisting on the belonging to Chechnya of a decent piece of Ingush lands. “In 1934, these lands were attached to Chechnya,” the Chechen leader insisted. “Yes, but until 1929, your lands were ours,” the Ingush opposition now, indicating that 1993 agreements between the President of Ichkeria Dudaev and the President of Ingushetia Aushev were also not fair in relation to Ingushetia.

“Then, in 1992, the Ingush behaved like close people, as brothers in relation to Chechens,” says Musa Albogachiev, co-chairman of Mehkk-Khel. - The Chechen people were weak, in a state of raving, and Ingushetia did not use this weakness, left the solution to the issue until better times. And today the Chechen side has already taken advantage of our weakness, the fact that we have a tremendous gap between the population and the leadership. And the accepted boundaries are a crime before his own people for the sake of Kadyrov. If they are already openly on falsification! ..

I asked the representatives of Mehk-Khel, who was in the course of the protesters in Magas that it was no longer a question of preserving the Ingush lands-but about taking the lands that are now related to Chechnya. “The most important thing is that they understand: there is no justice,” - there was an answer to me.

By evening, in Magas, armored vehicles began to tighten.
