Aukh Chechens from a Dagestani village asked Kadyrov to resolve a land conflict

Akkin Chechens (Aukhs) from the village of Leninaul in the Kazbekovsky District of Dagestan appealed to the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, with a request to prevent the distribution of lands that are originally Chechen, to participants in the "SVO". We are talking about land plots near the village, which were previously part of the Aukh District. Before Stalin's deportation, Aukh Chechens lived here, and in our time they are seeking the restoration of the district.

Recall that in early November it became known that veterans of the war with Ukraine from the Kazbekovsky District of Dagestan appealed to the head of the republic, Sergei Melikov, with a demand to send local Chechens who are interfering with the distribution of lands to the war.

"This raises the following question: when the "SVO" participants carry out their tasks, come home to rest, come to their lands to mark the borders - those people who have never taken part in the "SVO" and do not plan to, they come here and remove these marks. Why does the military registration and enlistment office not attract these people and send them there?" - the video message said.

According to media reports, after this, mobilization measures in the Kazbekovsky district became more stringent - messages about raids by security forces appeared in local chats.

Chechen elders asked Kadyrov for help in implementing the federal law on the rehabilitation of victims of political repression and the restoration of the Aukhovsky district to its historical borders. According to them, the distribution of land plots in Leninaul to the military "exacerbates the split and does not help overcome the crisis."
