[KavkazUzel Memorial stones to prisoners of the Solovetsky special purpose camp, including repressed Chechens and Ingush, were damaged.
Activists who brought flowers to the Alley of Memory on Solovki, a park with memorial stones to prisoners of the Solovetsky Special Purpose Camp, discovered destroyed and damaged monuments - a monument to Chechens and Ingush was smashed, a plaque was removed from a monument to Ukrainians, the Memorial Society (recognized as a foreign agent) reported today on its page on the social network VKontakte.
As follows from the photos attached to the publication, the plaque is broken. "To the innocently killed Vainakhs, Chechens and Ingush," is written on it. The plaque lies on one of the stones.
In his book "Hellish Islands", Ingush activist Sozerko Malsagov mentioned elderly Chechens exiled to Solovki.
"Shortly before my arrival in Solovki, the GPU of the Transcaucasian Soviet Republic sent forty very old Chechens there. One of them looked out of the window, which was forbidden by some Chekists. This was the basis for this entire group to be sent to Sekirnaya Mountain, known in Solovki as a place of torture, put in a "stone bag" and flogged with "Smolensk sticks" until they lost consciousness. One of the old men was 110 years old. The old Chechens were sent as hostages because of their sons, grandsons and great-grandsons, who joined the partisan detachments and waged an incessant war against the Bolsheviks.
The hostages themselves had not committed any crime. The practice of taking hostages and carrying out cruel repressions against relatives and even against familiar rebels and emigrants was developed by the Soviet authorities into a complex system of terror, which does not disdain anything to achieve its goal - "absolute submission of the entire Russian people to the will of the leaders of the Communist Party," says the book, published on the website "Memories of the Gulag and Their Authors."
Reference is to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, not the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, a subtle but clear difference.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, in 2006 the authorities reported that there were officially more than 173 thousand victims of political repression in Chechnya, including victims of deportation and repression in the 1940s and 1950s. The deportation of Chechens and Ingush people led to territorial conflicts, wars and broken families, the Norwegian Helsinki Committee noted in an article dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the deportation.
This year marks 80 years since Operation Lentil, during which nearly 500,000 Chechens and Ingush were deported en masse from the territory of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR to Kazakhstan and Central Asia. More details about these events and their consequences can be found in the "Caucasian Knot" reference material "Deportation of Chechens and Ingush".
The reasons for the deportation were given as mass desertion and preparation of an armed uprising in the Soviet rear, although the territory of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was practically not under occupation, and by February 1944 the Wehrmacht had already been thrown back hundreds of kilometers from the Caucasus. According to historians, mass arrests, deportations and executions based on nationality were widely practiced under Stalin, which is confirmed by numerous documentary evidence, as stated in the "Caucasian Knot" reference " 10 myths about Stalin's role in the Great Patriotic War".
