North Ossetia–Alania Head Sergey Menyaylo has criticized a draft law on the republic’s state languages after it introduced the terms “Literary Iron” and “Literary Digor.” According to the regional leader, these provisions are the “pitfalls” that risk dividing society, whereas the law should unite the people of the republic and strictly comply with the Constitution.
The eldest son of the head of Chechnya, 19-year-old Akhmat Kadyrov, received an honorary certificate for his contribution to the development of physical culture and sports in Russia and for his fruitful work.
