Journalist and activist Timur Kuashev was killed 9 years ago

Own correspondent of the first Caucasian independent magazine "DOSH" closed at the end of 2022 in Kabardino-Balkaria Timur Kuashev, who disappeared on the night of July 31, 2014, was found dead on the morning of August 1 near the village of Khasanya, in the suburbs of Nalchik.

Kuashev wrote about the “Circassian theme”, about the lawlessness of the security forces in Kabardino-Balkaria, actively covered the trial of the “58 case” in “DOSH” - about the trial of those accused of attacking Nalchik in October 2005.

The investigation into the murder did not satisfy either his relatives or colleagues, since, according to the investigation, Kuashev died of coronary insufficiency.

Relatives and colleagues of the journalist drew attention to the trace of the injection on his body. They are sure it was murder. In January 2021, Bellingcat published an investigation suggesting that the same FSB officers who poisoned prominent Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny could have been involved in the murder of Timur Kuashev.
Moreover, according to journalists, politician Nikita Isaev, journalist and activist of the Dagestan public movement "Unity" Ruslan Magomedragimov could become victims of poisoning.
