The #Vainakh peoples of the #NorthCaucasus were subject to #genocide from #ThisDayInHistory in 1944. The USSR forcibly deported the #Chechen & #Ingush to Central Asia and up to 200,000 were lost. They could not return to their lands until 1957, as acts of #Stalin were undone.

I personally witnessed on multiple occasions how Chechen people were systematically discriminated in EU. For example from 00s polish government was performing illegal pushbacks of #Chechen refugees back to #Belarus without any consequences on daily basis

Europe’s debt to Chechens

We have all too often been complicit in the persecution of the country’s dissidents and exiles.

Islamist övervakades av Säpo – strider nu i Ukraina: ”Pressades”

Viktor Gaziev, som klassats som ett säkerhetshot av Säpo och bedömts vara en radikal islamist, har försvunnit från Sverige. Uppdrag granskning hittar honom – i krigets Ukraina – där han nu är drönarexpert, har fått medalj och träffat Zelenskyj. Och han påstår att svenska myndigheter har hjälpt honom dit.

#Russia channel “Insider Black” reveals[^1] some background behind disbanding of the #neonazi 88th Brigade ‘Española’ that I wrote about three days ago.[^2]

According to the authors, the losses the unit suffered in #ChasivYar were significant but the decisive factor was its conflict with #Chechen units. Like any proper Russian nationalists, the neo-nazis from ‘Española’ hated Chechens and especially Kadyrovites with whom they competed for resources, status and fame:

The essence of the Chechen side’s complaints lies not only in everyday or road incidents on the front line, but also in a deep confrontation between mentalities, discipline and internal hierarchy. Over the course of several months, conflicts arose repeatedly: sometimes because of refusal to obey the orders of Chechen officers, sometimes literally because of road disputes, when Espanola fighters were required to give way to Caucasians.

In addition to the flexing, normal for any well-developed ten years old, both sides also insulted each other, desperately trying to prove who’s more dedicated “Putin’s warrior”:

The conflict was particularly exacerbated by public statements made by Espanola, in which Chechen fighters were repeatedly referred to as ‘special forces in slippers’ — this phrase went viral and caused a storm of indignation in Grozny. In turn, Chechen public forums actively discussed demands to withdraw or disband Orlov’s battalion (‘The Spaniard’) as a source of inter-ethnic tension on the front line.

In the past, Chechens managed to “convince” their Russian critics to apologise, which resulted in funny videos with tough boys like Milchakov literally looking like that five years old caught on stealing cookies.[^3] But these were single individuals, while ‘Española’ was a whole unit, so Kadyrov must have used his ties in Kremlin

Ясиноватая, Донбасс на линии огня

Внутри военного и политического блока России нарастает напряжённость, вызванная неожиданным расформированием батальона «Эспаньола» — подразделения, которое за последние годы обрело культовый статус и собственную боевую репутацию Решение «центра» явно демонстрирует, что федеральная власть предпочла пойти на поводу у Чечни после серии конфликтов между бойцами этого батальона и чеченскими подразделениями, действующими в зоне СВО. Суть претензий чеченской стороны — не только в бытовых или дорожных инцидентах на линии фронта, но и в глубоком противостоянии менталитетов, дисциплины и внутренней иерархии. В течение нескольких месяцев неоднократно возникали конфликты: то из-за отказа подчиняться приказам чеченских офицеров, то буквально из-за дорожных споров, когда у бойцов «Эспаньолы» требовали уступить дорогу кавказцам. Особую остроту конфликту придавали публичные заявления «Эспаньолы», в которых чеченских бойцов неоднократно называли «спецназом в тапочках» — эта фраза стала вирусной и вызвала бурю негодования в…

"Wooden Bag" is 75 Dollar Bill's debut record on the Other Music Recording Company label, originally released in January of 2015.

"Yet now 75 Dollar Bill is headed to the bigs—kind of. Brown and Chen have inked a deal with Other Music Recording Co., and this week, they celebrate their third full-length, Wooden Bag. The album’s seven gyrating, hypnotic dances feature maracas, shakers and homemade-horn–accented guitarscapes; imagine Yo La Tengo but with Indian music rather than the Velvets as prime inspiration."
