Wildberries founder and CEO Tatyana Kim (who recently restored her maiden name) has been having a hell of a time shaking loose her husband, Vladislav Bakalchuk, but their very public divorce is just the tip of the iceberg in what's become a battle between some of the most powerful political groups in Russia's North Caucasus. On September 18: Vladislav Bakalchuk tried to storm the company's office in the Romanov Dvor business center — just a few hundred yards from the Kremlin itself. Bakalchuk has very publicly opposed the Wildberries-RussGroup merger and recently met with Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov to plead his case, winning the dictator's support. At the Moscow office, Bakalchuk's entourage had two former senior executives, but — more importantly — he was accompanied by former and current Chechen police officers and National Guardsmen, as well as trained martial artists from Chechnya, including former world and European taekwondo champion Umar Chichaev. According to Novaya Gazeta Europe, Chichaev fired his service weapon, though his status in the National Guard is a bit fuzzy. On the other side of the conflict, defending the Wildberries office was another team of police and police-adjacent men with ties to Ingushetia. According to the newspaper Novaya Gazeta, Wildberries had recently hired a private security company with ties to Ingush State Duma deputy Bekkhan Barakhoev, who, until three years ago, worked as a vice president of a subsidiary of Russ Outdoor — the smaller company now merging with Wildberries. The most important shadow figure at Russ Outdoor, meanwhile, is Suleiman Kerimov, a billionaire senator from Dagestan. The office shootout left two Ingush men dead and more than two dozen suspects in police custody, though Vladislav Bakalchuk miraculously escaped charges as a mere witness. He claims he merely showed up for a planned business meeting, but Tatyana Kim calls the incident a failed attempt at a hostile takeover. To learn more about this story and its broader political context, The Naked Pravda spoke to Ilya Shumanov, the general director of Transparency International-Russia in exile.

Debra Javeline (Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame) will present on her book, After Violence: Russia's Beslan School Massacre and the Peace that Followed (Oxford University Press, 2023). Free and open to the public. About the lecture: Starting on September 1, 2004, and ending 53 hours later, Russia experienced its most appalling act of terrorism in history, the seizure of School No. 1 in Beslan, North Ossetia. Approximately 1,200 children, parents, and teachers were taken hostage, and over 330 —nearly one of every hundred Beslan residents— were killed, hundreds more seriously wounded, and all severely traumatized. After Violence is the first book to analyze the aftermath of such large-scale violence with evidence from almost all direct victims. It explores the motivations behind individual responses to violence. When does violence fuel greater acceptance of retaliatory violence, and when does violence fuel nonviolent participation in politics? The mass hostage taking was widely predicted to provoke a spiral of retaliatory ethnic violence in the North Caucasus, where the act of terror was embedded in a larger context of ongoing conflict between Ossetians, Ingush, and Chechens. Politicians, journalists, victims, and other local residents asserted that vengeance would come. Instead, the hostage taking triggered unprecedented peaceful political activism on a scale seen nowhere else in Russia. Beslan activists challenged authorities, endured official harassment, and won a historic victory against the Russian state in the European Court of Human Rights. After Violence provides insights into this unexpected but preferable outcome. Using systematic surveys of 1,098 victims (82%) and 2,043 nearby residents, in-depth focus groups, journalistic accounts, investigative reports, NGO reports, and prior scholarly research, After Violence offers novel findings about the influence of anger, prejudice, alienation, efficacy, and other variables on post-violence behavior. About the speaker: Debra Javeline is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame and a fellow of the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, Kellogg Institute for International Studies, Nanovic Institute for European Studies, Russian and East European Studies Program, and Environmental Change Initiative. Her research interests include mass political behavior, survey research, Russian politics, sustainability, environmental politics, and climate change. She focuses on the decisions of ordinary citizens, whether in response to violence or climate impacts, and she is currently exploring coastal homeowner motivations to take action to reduce their risk from rising seas, hurricanes, and other hazards.

August 30th 2023 Yuriy recounts the story of a fellow soldier, Kim, a Ukrainian of Korean origin whose family was forcibly deported and suppressed by Stalin's regime, paralleling their experiences with the Russian tactics of erasing identities and cultural heritage in Ukraine, yet the resilience and determination to preserve Ukrainian identity remains despite ongoing attempts by the Russians to obliterate it.

Even his last name was as Korean as possible, Kim. At the same time, he didn't speak Korean, had never been to his historical homeland, and in general knew very little about Korea. I will now tell a little about how it happened, and you will understand why this story is important in the context of our war. So our Kim was born in Ukraine, went to an ordinary Ukrainian kindergarten, went to school, spoke Ukrainian since childhood, did not hear Korean even at home because his parents were forbidden to speak their native language. His parents were born in Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia.  Their families ended up there against their own will, they were exiles. They were forcibly deported from the native cities and villages where they lived for centuries. Thousands of Koreans came under Russian rule in 19th century when the Russians, concrete, large areas of Far East. Among these territories were those on which Koreans lived for a long time. For a while the Russian authorities paid almost no attention to them. They were allowed to have their own schools, their own newspapers, and celebrate Korean holidays. Even after the Bolsheviks came to power, Koreans maintained a certain level of autonomy.  But when Stalin's dictatorship began. The tyrant very quickly quarreled with Japan, and even before the beginning of the Second World War, he managed to get into a short armed conflict with it. At what time Koreans did not have their own state. Their lands were under Japanese occupation. So the inhabitants of these lands, mostly ethnic Koreans, were Japanese citizens. That is, in the eyes of Soviet authorities, they were enemies. And Stalin saw Soviet Koreans as, as potential traitors, the fifth column of the Japanese. He declared them enemies and began repression. Writers, teachers, priests were shot. All others, the entire nation, were sent into exile into Central Asia.  They were forbidden to speak their native language even at home. They were forbidden to celebrate their holidays. They were ordered to forget that they are Koreans. Koreans were the first people to be deported from their native places .Then their faith was shared by Chechens, Ingush, Crimean Tatars and others. Someone was more fortunate the Chechens were allowed to return home immediately after Stalin's death. Some less fortunate, the Crimean taters, for example, were never allowed to return. They did it themselves under the threat of new deportations and prison terms.  The Koreans were allowed to return home, but it turned out that the farms were destroyed. Strangers were living in their homes and no one was waiting for them there. And these Koreans simply scattered around the Soviet Union in search of better faith. That's how my Kim's grandparents and their kids ended up in Ukraine. They no longer knew their native language, did not remember the tales and stories of their people they only had surnames from the Koreans. That is, Stalin achieved his goal. Koreans stopped being Koreans. They lost themselves.  And this is almost exactly what the Russians did to the Koreans in the 1930s, they now trying to do to the Ukrainians. They want to physically destroy the bearers of Ukrainian consciousness as they once killed the Korean intelligentsia and make everyone else forget that they are Ukrainians. And Kim, with whom we fought together, said "The Russians took away from my parents the feeling that we're Koreans, and now they're trying to take away my pride in the fact that I'm Ukrainian of Korean origin, but they won't succeed. 

Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enThe Russian North Caucasus has played a special role in the invasion of Ukraine. Journalists estimate that at least 60 men from Dagestan died fighting for Russia by March 23, indicating that this republic had lost more soldiers, by far, than any other region in Russia. In terms of public messaging, Chechen ruler Ramzan Kadyrov has been one of the loudest cheerleaders for the “special operation,” rattling his saber at every opportunity and declaring the seizure of Ukrainian territories before it's actually happened. Across the North Caucasus, one of the most crucial factors when it comes to military service is the absence of alternatives. Unemployment is higher in this region than anywhere else in Russia. It's the highest of all in Ingushetia, where it exceeds 30 percent. To find out more about the war's impact here, The Naked Pravda turned to Ingush journalist and activist Izabella Evloeva and independent political and security analyst Harold Chambers.

The Prigorodny District is a disputed territory on the border between the Russian republics of North Ossetia and Ingushetia. Violence broke out there 30 years ago -- and to this day, Ingush and Ossetian neighbors in Prigorodny avoid speaking to one another and send their children to separate schools. In a dispatch from Prigorodny, Meduza special correspondent Sasha Sivtsova examines why the conflict, which was triggered by state repressions, is still going on after so many years.

Names can be deceiving. Americans call the area where Moscow’s writ runs “Russia.” But the official name of this place is the “Russian Federation.” Federation of what, you ask? Well, there are a lot of people who live in “Russia” who are in important senses not Russians. There are Ingush, Buryats, Chechens, Mordvinians, Tatars, and many others. Russia, then, is a “Federation” of Russians and non-Russians. But even that’s not quite right. As Valerie Kivelson and Ronald Suny point out in their excellent book Russia’s Empires (Oxford University Press, 2016), Russia is really an empire, and has long been. Since the 16th century, Moscow has gathered, conquered, colonized, assimilated, or otherwise brought to heel a great number of places occupied by people who were not Russians. Russians built this empire for different reasons at different times; it grew and (especially recently) it shrank. But it was always there, and still is. Kivelson and Suny convincingly argue that nothing about Russia—past or present—can really be understood outside the context of Russia as an empire. Listen in to our lively conversation.

In February 1944, nearly half a million Chechen and Ingush people were deported from the North Caucasus on the orders of Josef Stalin. They were herded into cattle trucks and sent thousands of miles across the Soviet Union to live in Kazakhstan - tens of thousands died on the way. Witness speaks to a survivor of the deportations, and a member of Stalin's secret police. (Photo: The monument to Chechnya's victims of Stalin's 1944 deportations stands in disarray in Grozny, 2008.
